This will be the first of, what I am hoping will be, at least a monthly series focusing on the first three films in a director’s career. The focus will be on their feature film work and how I decide who and when I don’t really know. Maybe I will coordinate it with director’s upcoming releases or maybe when I just get the feeling of digging into someone’s roots. The series will allow me to review some older films and maybe even see how far some directors have come over the years. So with out further ado…and SPOILER WARNING for all three films…
Three Film In…Zack Snyder: Dawn of the Dead (2004) – 300 – Watchmen
Snyder is a rather young director with only five films under his belt but he has done so in a mere 7 years. His latest features, Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga’Hoole and Sucker Punch, continue to show off his amazing visual sensibility as he has etched out his style so well that you can tell if a movie is made by from a couple quick clips. He is next taking his action and visual sensibilities to the Christopher Nolan reboot of Superman and I for one can’t wait to see what he does with the property.
