Dinosaur Hand: Hey, look at me. I'm a disembodied haaaaand!Tom: Ooh, spooky.
D.H: Hee hee. Did I frighten you?
Tom: Today me and Dino are going to review some Post Apocalyptic movies that we've seen over the last few months.
D.H: Get this...as of late there have been a plethora.
Tom: Nice word.
D.H: yeah, yeah. Plethora. Plethoraaaaa.
Tom: You really know how to make things sound dirty, Dinosaur Hand.
D.H: Ha, I know!
Tom:Anyway, you're right. There have been a lot of these, and we've picked three to review. They are: Monsters, The Road, and The Book of Eli. So, Dino, where do you want to start?
D.H: At the beginning. Duh.
Tom: Alright, smart ass. Monsters. It's a bit slow moving.
D.H: Dull, actually. The stars are mostly uninteresting.
Tom: Yep. They're frankly mundane, not pretty, and as imaginative as a spelunking gopher.
D.H: The monster I assume is what the film is supposedly named for? You know, Monsters? Really?
Tom: We see glimpses of the monsters and their spawn throughout the film. At different times they show up and wreak havoc, but off camera. Finally at the end you get to see them and I guess they are pretty spectacular.
D.H: I think the monsters are doin' it!
Tom: Could be. If you have to see it, skip to the end and just watch the monster special effects. Kind of cool.
D.H: It's the Monster Mash!
Tom: I was thinking of linking the trailer, but I won't bother.
D.H: And you shouldn't either. Doo whacka doo.
Tom: Now, as far as The Road....
D.H: zzzzz.
Tom: Oh, I don't know. It was alright. This movie starred Vigo Mortensen and some kid. The acting was fine.
D.H: Oh, oh. And CharlizeTheron! She's sooooo hot.
Tom: Oops, I forgot. She's in it, mostly flashbacks. A lot of flashbacks. This movie was based on a best selling book. I guess the premise is good. The world is coming to end and things will never be the same, and somehow we just go on living.
D.H: It is what it is.
Tom: Yep...either move ahead or lay down and die.
D.H: Don't stop or you'll get run over!
Tom: Tomorrow is another day.
D.H: They'll eat you!
Tom: It was just OK.
D.H: Did we like The Book of Eli? Did we, did we?
Tom: I did. Denzel Washington is as excellent as always and of the three, this was really by far the best.
D.H: Better villains. And Road Warrior stuff. Varoom.
Tom: Sure. It was much more mainstream and not amateurish, like Monsters.
D.H: All the way through you're like, 'hey, what's the big deal...it's a bible, dude.'
Tom: Exactly. It turns into a quest sort of a movie, and every player ends up having a significant role, and all is revealed in the end.
D.H: Fas-ki-nating.
Tom: I liked it.
D.H: No zombies, though.
Tom: I'm sorry. Should we have reviewed Zombieland instead?
D.H: That was Awesome !!!

nice. i liked the road, book and movie...and book of eli...have not seen monsters, might skip it...great to see DH!!!
I've not seen any of these (except for Zombieland). I do have The Road, but it's one of those mood movies you have to be in the mood to watch.
I hated that book, by the way. Cormac McCarthy, as good as he can be, won a friggin' Pulitzer on his name alone.
That irks me.
I love plethora, espeshally the likkle furry ones that lay eggs and have spiny poisonous things on their back legs . .oh hand on a minuge . . they're Platypus . . I loved "Monsters" except the ending which kind of happened rather quickly after squiddy sex, was that the same movie. Yes. You're right. It really is time for bed.
I adore the word plethora. Plethora plethora plethora. I just can't say it enough.
