DAWN OF THE DEAD [2004]

More miss than hit director Zack Snyder thrusts his rabid fitness zombies on us in the 2004 remake of the George A. Romero classic Dawn Of The Dead.
With some help from a strong cast and a impressionable script courtesy of wackjob James Gunn, Snyder's version manages to heavily entertain with homages galore and stick out from the rest of the tired zombie genre.  It's bloody vicious, at times hilarious and ruthless fun that delivers the flesh-eating goods by the buckets.

Easily 4 out of 5.
maybe 5. Depends how much you love the Johnny Cash opening.
