A little zombie love story

I saw Super 8 over the weekend and it was absolutely fantastic. What a fabulous homage to Spielberg films and to good stories and suspense I remember from my own childhood. I laughed out loud several times and really did feel anxious near the end to find out what was really happening in small-town Ohio.

However, one scene that I need to mention completely stole my heart. Joe is putting zombie makeup on Alice (which looks absolutely fantastic and authentic for the setting of the film) and she asks him how to act. After a brief explanation, she quickly turns to "zombie mode" and then you can see the chemistry between them, even with her dead and lifeless zombie eyes and her head cocked awkwardly to the side. You have to see the scene to believe it, but you feel it. And this little bit o' zombie love just made me melt. Check out the movie -- I'm sure you'll enjoy it too.
