SHAFT, R ( 1 hr & 51 min ) / THE DEAD DON'T DIE, R ( 1 hr & 43 min )

I went to see this on Bargain Tuesday, June 6th, 2019, in Napa, CA, at the Century Napa Valley & X-D, for the 7:40 p.m. showing in auditorium 6, D-11. The price of admission was $6.75. And I bought a discount medium popcorn ( $4.00 ) and a discount medium Mr. Pibb softdrink ( $4.00 - $1.00 coupon ) at the concessions counter.

Quickie Review: Jay Jay ( Jessie T. Usher ), an FBI analyst, enlists the aid of his father ( Samuel L. Jackson ), a private detective, to help solve the untimely death of his friend.

I honestly didn't think that I would like this movie. But I sorta did. So did a few others in the audience who gave this movie a "Hands Clapper" ending.

I went to see this movie at 10:25 p.m., after I saw the 1st movie, in auditorium 9, C-7. The price of admission was the same. And I didn't buy anything at the concessions counter because I still had half a cup of soda left and I was still full from the popcorn.

Quickie Review: Because of polar shift  😕  , the dead turn into zombies and prey on the living.

Here Are The Things Wrong In This Movie: The character names for Tilda Swinton and Rosie Perez lacked creativity. One of the grave markers says that the interred died in 1907 (?)--shouldn't the corpse then be nothing but bones? The two people in the hardware store had plenty of time, before the zombies arrived, to climb on top of the roof or climb higher up into the trees where they wouldn't have been seen by the zombies.Why didn't the hermit help out? In the last stand, the chief of police could have gotten the samurai and used it. Both the machete and the samurai could have been used to cut-off a leg from each of the zombies; then, they could have had an easy time of decapitating each one of the zombies. Or ... they could just have strolled away from the one-legged zombies in a leisurely manner. Why did some of the victims turn into zombies right away but others took more than a day to turn?

Wait for this gosh-awful movie to become a DVD rental. Or, better yet, forget about this movie. It's a sure waste of time and money!  👎

I had to go to BofA first to get some money at the ATM. When I was done, a stranger came up to me and asked to borrow my pen. I said, No. He got upset. Hey, I was just watching out for myself. There was no security guard present since the bank was already closed. And there was no way that I was gonna have a stranger get too close to me right after I had gotten some money from my account!

I don't know why people don't carry their own pens with them. I've been carrying a pen with me for over 30 years now--that, and a watch--in case of emergencies, to note down the time and location.

Then, I swung by the Arco Gas Station to buy some lottery tickets, and to get a $6.00 car wash as my 2002 Saturn SC-1 car was covered in bird poop and tree sap!

I wanted to catch the 30th Anniversary showing of, FIELD OF DREAMS. But I arrived at the theatre 28 minutes too late!
