Zombie Honeymoon (2004)
Awful attempt to cash in on the success of better films.
This is the worst film I've ever seen in my life. After seeing the fantastic Shaun of the Dead I thought it would be more of the same, but this is just pathetic. Its not funny, its badly acted, and the score is terrible. I felt dirty after watching it, and I hope nobody I know saw me going into the movie theatre.
If you want to see a true "romzomcom" watch Shaun of the Dead, its far superior. The humour is brilliant, though it may be too deep for American viewers. Much like the UK version of The Office, most of the jokes are quite subtle, not "in your face". Shaun of the Dead also contains many cool references to other movies and TV shows, which are great fun to look out for and test your knowledge. Many comments or actions in the movie foreshadow events at the end of the movie, and spotting these is good fun too.
Cube Zero (2004)
Excellent
This film is good fun to watch. Nobody could expect a sequel to live up to the original, especially one that's been hyped so much, but it's a very enjoyable effort. This is what Cube 2 should have been.
In the first movie, we found that the cubes moved, and the coordinate system allowed the victims to detect traps, and plot their escape. It wouldn't be effective to simply repeat the events of the first movie, so these are dealt with fairly quickly.
It was interesting to go outside the cube, and the director got it just right by concentrating on some of the lowest employees, who themselves seem trapped in a box with no way out. Some of the characters are more interesting than others, but the same was true of the first movie.
The only parts that let the movie down are the "futuristic" elements, like the dream-recording. Luckily, these don't form the bigger part of the picture and can be mostly ignored.
REAL fans of the first film should watch this, because they'll probably enjoy it. The amateur armchair film critics that like to over analyse everything should probably stay away. You should go and watch something "deep" that you can make a presentation to your college film club about.
