Zombie Strippers, a review by dfmorgan

Zombie Strippers

Year: 2007
Director: Jay Lee
Cast: Robert Englund, Jenna Jameson
Overview: When a secret government agency lets out a deadly chemical virus causing the re-animation of the dead, the first place to get hit is Rhino's, a hot underground strip club. As one of the strippers gets the virus, she turns into a supernatural, flesh-eating zombie stripper, making her the hit of the club. Do the rest of the girls fight the temptation to be like the star stripper, even if there is no turning back? ZOMBIE STRIPPERS is a sexy, bloody, hilarious good time!

Plot: The film starts with a brief history lesson to bring us up-to-date on the current world situation. George W. Bush has just won his 4 consecutive term of office after the Supreme Court ruled that a single vote was in his favour. The US is involved in a large number of different wars around the world including Iran, Afghanistan, Canada, Alaska. Their numbers of fighting men is being depleted so W Industries come up with a chemical virus to re-animate the dead. However this gets loose in the test lab and a clear-up squad are sent in. One of the squad gets infected and escapes to a nearby lap-dancing club. The remaining action is now centred around the events happening within the club.

Watched: 6th Mar 2010
My Thoughts: A comedy horror or is it a horror of a comedy? OK this is not a film I would have purchased normally, teaches me not to double check the on-screen data before pressing confirm, but that is not to say that I dislike horror or zombie films it was just that nothing in the reviews or cast piqued my interest. Robert Englund as an actor I am aware of from the V TV series and I believe that Jenna Jameson has a notoriety within her chosen field.

As to this film to be honest I didn't burst out laughing nor did I jump back in my seat. Going back to the days when there 2 films shown at each sitting then this would definitely have been the B film to prime you for the main feature. Not being an big fan of zombie/horror films there may well have been references to other films in those genres, are they separate genres or is one a sub-set of the other, that I missed. One reference I did catch but don't know what it referred to was "Badgers. Badgers. We don't need no stinking badgers.". I have heard similar to this elsewhere and seen variations of it as taglines. Much of the action was predictable and at one point I thought that will come back and bite them, pun intended  . As to the strippers part of the title yes some of the ladies removed their tops and some even removed their bikini bottoms but full frontal nudity was lacking so not even soft-core.

My Rating: A disappointing 2

I got this one on a spur of the moment impulse buy... mainly got it because it was very cheap and the overview on the back cover sounded slightly interesting. I found it to be a fun movie... I have seen better romantic comedies... but feel this one is above average. Definitely worth the time put in to watch it. It is a cute story with a few funny moments.

2016 TV Pilot Reviews, a review by DJ Doena

Designated Survivor Website
Designated Survivor @ Wikipedia
Designated Survivor @ IMDb

Thomas Kirkman (Kiefer Sutherland, 24) is the U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development and about to be fired since the President has decided to go with someone else for his second term.

Kirkman is also the designated survivor for this year's State of the Union. He's kept safe in an undisclosed location while the President gives his speech.

Then the unthinkable happens. An explosion destroys the Capitol building and with it the President, Vice President, the Speaker of the House and most cabinet, house and senate members.

Fortunately, the unthinkable has been thought of. That's why Kirkman was not in the Capitol. And now he's sworn in as the next President of the United States.

The most urgent questions on everyone's mind are "Who did this?" and "Is the pencil pusher Kirkman really able to lead this country in this time of crisis?".

I've learned the term and the meaning behind the "designated survivor" in the first season of The West Wing. This is not going to be that show.

But it's probably not going to be 24 either. Although with the conspiring already happening, who knows...

I really liked the pilot. Everyone around Kirkman including himself doubts if he can do the job, but he appears to be a fighter. Someone who will tackle every challenge and obstacle that will come his way.

I'm curious how they will design the following years. When will there be re-elections and who will go up against him. How will they tackle the domestic and foreign topics?

This is one show I will definitely watch for the next few years.
