That’s true to a point, K, but I can’t give a pass to the few films that have conservative/traditional values either. Being a right-leaning critic makes me, and a few of my peers, pretty unique. But both right and left leaners should be sure to judge films on their merits first – and point out their ideological axes second.

In some respects, having a “non-liberal” mindset must be good for a film critic as it alllows a certain detactment from the politics and presumably a more dispassionate view of the film’s strong points and faults.

K – the main storyline was fairly obvious and one-sided (guess which side?)… but the mix of horror and comedy here is better than in most films. “Shaun of the Dead” remains the recent king of this blend.

peeved at how Palisade’s weapons impact their country,

Presumably, the locals were all former communist aparatchiks? Or does this take place in Serbia?

Unless Britain declared war on the Czech republic or Hungary recently I’m at a loss to see how Brit weapons have impacted someone in Eastern Europe. Of course, far left story tellers assume that weapons manufacturers are ipso facto purveyors of violence.

Unless, of course, said weapon manufacturers are working for a communist country.
