Survival of the Dead
A low-stakes zombie scenario by the genre’s grandfather George Romero. The acting by the primarily Irish cast is proficient but the script is weak. Not because anything’s unclear or stupid, but just because the stakes feel really low. It seems like it could be a small chapter in a much larger movie. Nevertheless, it functions well, as all good zombie parables do, as a metaphor for how human beings treat each other.

Robin Hood
Forgetting all of the crazy shit this movie went through in development, I thought this was pretty good. It’s not one of Ridley Scott’s better movies by any stretch, but it’s still better than many ordinary movies. That’s basically because any movie where guys kill other guys with sticks automatically gets a c+ right out of the gate. And if the guys getting killed are French, that’s another boost. So I thought it was a fine piece of “guys killing French dudes with sticks” entertainment, which is all I really expected.
