I think it was built up frustration on Serena's part. She's had a history of
getting shafted by the officials in several big matches. Add that to the
hostile atmosphere of seing your foreign opponent being cheered more than you

Zombies work as social commentary, the fear of contagion, a sign of the
apocolypse, humanity stripped down to its hungry, animal core, etc. It's a wide
open genre and there's more than enough room to have an interesting take on the
subject without having to deconstruct it.

The sad thing is even on video you couldn't even tell if her toe nudged the
line. So for a judge to make that call and lead into match point was a
headslapper.

Both have their uses. The fast Dawn of the Dead '04 variety are terrifying but
the Return of the Living Dead versions were worse because they were fast and
retained some intelligence and had to be completely destroyed before they
stopped trying to eat you.

Well we all see how well his Halloween reboot went.
Zombie's The Devil's Rejects is a nasty and damned good modern take on the 70s

his reboots...not so much.

One my favorite things about the movie is Park's visual style. It's a
beautiful piece of pop art. The set design, camerawork and subtle visual
effects like the halo shot are eyepopping.

Rosario Dawson. Nuff said.
Maggie Q. She was in Mission Impossible 3, Live Free or Die Hard and a ton of
movies from Hong Kong. Her exotic looks(she's biracial- Asian and Caucasian),
solid acting and action
