Yeah, yeah, I live near a large chain movie theater.<\/p>\n<p>I mean, we&#8217;re sort of there, but not really, if you ken my drift.<\/p>\n<p>No, in this movie we&#8217;re talking the <em>voodoo zombies<\/em> segment, who seem to be mostly big guys who are fighting to keep grins off their faces.<\/p>\n<p>And the referenced king? No, no magnificent super-zombie there, sad to say. But still set on evil, he&#8217;s captured a US Navy Admiral, and he&#8217;s intent on extracting his secrets, using zombie-style methods. But he finds himself beset by surreptitious rescuers who survive a plane crash, and find themselves provisioned with little else than cliched dialog, with which they do their best to find the missing admiral, as well as each other.<\/p>\n<p>All in all, there&#8217;s a zombie element, a comedic element, and a romantic element involving a couple of ladies, and they are not well-melded. I could see the welds, and they were rushed and prone to leakage. The cinematography is nice, I dearly loved the character of the old lady, and Mantan Moreland completists will have to see this flick, but otherwise I foresee this to have a scant current audience.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, you&#8217;re one?
