Cockneys vs Zombies – “Shaun of the Dead,” wanna-be, but still lotsa fun, the highlight being an elderly Brit asleep in his lawn chair while the Zs shamble all around him, not realizing he isn’t dead. Then he wakes up and makes a break for it – at 0.0005 MPH – with his walker with a walker in hot pursuit (not). One of the female leads was on, “Doctor Who.” Worth a look. ---
