DVD review: House of the Dead 2: All Guts, No Glory

There's trouble brewing. The walking dead have taken over a small California university and a small team of marines and government agents are sent in, not only to clean out the infection, but to obtain a blood sample from the first zombie, thus allowing them to develop a cure that will rid the world of the zombie menace once and for all. Of course they have to do all this before a cruise missile strike destroys the campus. Rap star Sticky Fingaz plays Sgt. Dalton, the leader of the marines who, collectively, have an IQ only slightly lower than one of the dumber zombies. The incredibly hot Emmanuelle Vaugier plays one of the goverment agents (who can be easily identified by the fact that they aren't especially stupid).

Overall, the movie was nothing special, and I can't believe a zombie movie set on a college campus didn't have a coed shower scene. There were a few creative scenes of zombies chowing down on the humans. In addition, House of the Dead 2 does add to our database of zombie lore, which we will need if we are going to have a chance of long term survival on this planet:
1. Zombies tend to continue the daily routines they had when they were alive. Football players still practice, nerds still hang out in the library, etc.
2. Mosquitoes can transmit the zombie virus.
3. Zombies can lie still and apparently dead, then jump up suddenly and eat your brains.

Rating: 3 out of five stars (5 stars -1(no Salma) -1(no co-ed shower scene despite the perfect setup)
