film: the crazies
beer: chelsea brewing co. pumpkin pie ale

for the next film of the pumpktoberfest season, after an evening out last friday, i sat down & watched a zombie-esque picture that came out this past february called the crazies, a remake of the 1973 film with the same name by horror legend george romero. while the original didn't do too well at the box office, it eventually became a cult classic & people are going nuts for zombie-esque creatures these days, so a remake was in order. it's directed by breck eisner, who's best known for directing one of the worst flops in hollywood history, sahara. at the moment, he's on board to direct the 3D version of flash gordon, so maybe things are turning around for him. it stars timothy olyphant (justified, deadwood) as sheriff david dutton, radha mitchell (the non-ally sheedy star of high art) as his wife judy & joe anderson as deputy russell clank.
