Unrated Director's Cut is the only way to go

Rating: 9/10 (18 February 2007)

I thought the remake of Dawn of the Dead would be a stupid waste of time and then I heard Sarah Polley and Ving Rhames would be in it. Sounded good so far. Watched it at the movie theatre and thought it was a solid remake...
Picked up the Unrated director's cut on DVD (109 mins) and fell in love with the film, especially Jake Weber's turn as Michael, the unlikely hero ("I sell televisions at Best Buy"). He is so engaging and magnetic in this film that I actually watched all of season 2 of Medium, a program he co-stars on; Patricia Arquette is the lead.
This film is so watchable that I struggle not to watch it on consecutive days (already seen it 4 times). Some films you can watch once and be done with it; others will stay with you for a very long time and not just because of their accessibility or universality, there is something called cinema magic and you can't always put your finger on it.
Get down with the sickness.
P.S. Watch only until just before the final credits begin.
