Sometimes a film or a book wows me. Really sucks my breath down deep and makes me glad to be alive...I just watched a KILLER film called The Dead by two brother directors: Howard J and John Ford. I am a die-hard Sam Raimi fan but these guys remind me of the great stuff Mr. Raimi did in his youth. This is just the stuff of horror fans dreams! A frakin GORGEOUS West African man, a soldier meets up with an American mercenary, both survivors of a very terrifying zombie outbreak - and lets face it - zombies have been done - forgive me - to death...but there is a palpable human element here, its as good or better than Walking Dead. The social commentary is there, not slap you upside the head there, but there just the same. There can be no black man/white man shite here. There is only room for survivors to either help each other or face something worse, so much darker than death. Did I mention that the black actor is hot? Sorry, I digress....But this film has inspired a goal for me and those that know me know it is difficult to thwart me once I have a goal in my head and heart: I want these Ford brothers to direct a film of STRANGE FRUIT. They would do it justice and make me really proud.

So Howard and John, if you're listening: let's make some movie magic. I might have to prove myself to you but I KNOW you are up to the challenge.

Keep making books and movies like this, all yall! Love Rey
