The summer movie season, after offering three decent-to-outstanding tentpole releases in the last few weeks, now coughs up World War Z, loosely connected to the book of the same name written by Mel Brooks's son.
Since the last good zombie movie was Thriller, you can imagine whether or not Paramount will be made infinitesimally richer or poorer by this movie-goer's pocketbook. Although for some reason the zombie genre is a hot thing these days with AMC's The Walking Dead and others, critical opinion of World War Z is pretty negative, and fans of the book don't like the adaptation. Here's hoping there's enough negativity surrounding this big-budget presentation to stick the zombie genre back under six feet of well-packed earth for another thirty years.
