i had an excellent brunch in this place . service was a bit slow and inattentive , but everything came as it should . i had very good eggs benedict .

i love to meet up with friends there whenever i am in the city . the location is awesome , easy access and the drinks are great . i like their pasta dishes because the pasta is fresh and made there . service could improve , but that tends to . . .

the place has an authentic 1930s art deco feel to it . indeed , the restaurant was recently reopened after many years closed . they apparently restored everything , while trying to keep the art deco look as original as possible . located in an interesting part of downtown são . . .

service was slow and disappointing but the food was a good surprise . it was not our first option downtown but all toher places were packed .

location and atmosphere are great . drinks are good . food has always been average . service was never a highlight and each time i go there i feel it gets slower and more unfriendly . my last visit was topped with a really impolite manager ( or owner ? ) . when . . .

it looks like a parisian cafe in the heart of são paulo , but my caprese salad was 80 % iceberg lettuce ( really ? ) and penne pasta with aubergine was drenched in so much oil it felt bad just looking at the food . i was disappointed after passing . . .

it was so refreshing to have a freshly prepared meal with amazing homemade pasta and real vegetables after a a week of indulging in argentinian and brazilian beef ! could not fault the food , reasonably priced , lovely attentive staff , would not hesitate to return .

nothing like a good restaurant , bar or both in the middle of a tree full plaza with average prices ! on sundays , try the brunch men : bennedict eggs , pancakes , great coffee , tapiocas and waffles are some itens you should order . on regular days , i rather prefer the meat dishes instead of the pasta - the aperoll spritz is delicious and the bloody mary is marvellous . also the beers are regular bar prices , so you can also have a blast with a bucket full of really cold and sweaty beers . keep an eye on the party agenda , normally some parties take place on saturdays and sunday evenings - for free and fully loaded with good looking and interning people . if it ' s raining , try somewhere else , as the inside area is not that big . any other day , book a table outdoors and have fun . : )

solid brunch and mimosas on sunday ( ride there ! ) service can be slow . 3 and a half stars .

the first 45 minutes of beautiful people focus mainly on the family and the unsavory situation they’re in . it reminded me a lot of a spanish film called kidnapped aka secuestrados ( 2010 ) , which was a really brutal crime drama with a surprise ending that felt like a kick to my gut on my first viewing of it . beautiful people is an italian production , but all the dialogue is in english . the cast is made up of actors of varying degrees of skill , but in the end beautiful people isn’t looking to impress anyone with the featured actors . the story is the thing here , and it is one weird f * cking story . the tonal shifts here , from kidnap drama to out & out horror film might feel jarring at first , but with a running time of just over 70 minutes , the film doesn’t wear out its welcome .

producer osnat shurer , speaking by phone from berlin where she was promoting the movie , said the moviemakers spent five years working closely with people in the pacific to create what they believe is a beautiful representation .

polish filmmaker michal marczak , whose atmospheric and intoxicating documentary all these sleepless nights took home the directing award for world cinema documentary at the 2016 sundance film festival , directs the music video . that film embraces a nomadic cinematic vision that is eerily similar to the sonic direction of “beautiful people , ” and perhaps provides a sense of the origins of the collaboration . the music video is described as follows :

there’s something deeply perverse about seeing beyoncé’s groundbreaking work of black female historical reclamation appropriated by two white actresses in 1860s southern dress . but it’s perfectly in keeping with the attitude of the film , in which black people barely merit mention . while the film’s production design and costumes evince a commitment to authenticity , the movie itself has no interest in the people on whose backs that lavish lifestyle was built .

sundance film forward is a touring program which introduces a new generation of audiences to the power of story through the exhibition of film and conversations with filmmakers to create greater cultural awareness .

beautiful people is an ugly film , with ugly people in a ugly scenario doing ugly things to each other . but it makes no apologies for that , indeed it seems to revel in all of the madness – and i respect that . there are moments where i found myself repulsed by what was happening on screen , but i couldn’t turn away from any of it either . the central premise is so unique that i had to see it through to the finale , it’s all a bit ridiculous ( actually very ridiculous ) , but it’s engrossing all the same . as it stands , beautiful people is quite unique , and in an era of unnecessary remakes and endless takes on zombies – that’s commendable . the subject matter ain’t for everyone ( some of you will be offended by it ) , but it’s well worth a watch for those of you with iron clad stomachs & open minds .

“the film approaches this thorny issue with an honourable maturity and forthrightness , even if it’s all given the glowing gloss of an instagram snap with the filter put up to the hilt . that , to me , represents something intrinsically , crucially british about the film , a pragmatic , a - religious approach that i can’t really imagine a mainstream , commercial american film taking . ”

“the message of the film is that disability is tragedy and disabled people are better off dead , ” said another disabled activist , ellen clifford . “it comes from a dominant narrative carried by society and the mainstream media that says it is a terrible thing to be disabled . ”

exotic is a word coppola used again in an interview with vanity fair , and it signals her aesthetic interest in the story . the chance to film the remnants of the antebellum south , with its grand houses , stately furnishings , and beautiful dresses must have been an alluring prospect for a director so visually minded and so interested in the lives of the wealthy . but aesthetics are not apolitical , and those grand houses and beautiful dresses didn’t emerge out of a vacuum .

wellington , new zealand - - disney’s animated movie “moana” debuted to critical acclaim and box office success over the thanksgiving weekend , but some people in the south pacific dislike how it depicts their culture .

this has the aroma of an urban legend to it , like the scuba diver who was scooped up by a firefighting airplane and dumped onto a forest fire . in " beautiful people , " it works like one of those fairy tales where a naughty child gets his comeuppance by trading places with one less fortunate . what happens here is that griffin , dazed and withdrawing , stumbles around the war zone and ends up behaving rather well .

in this little provencal village , a new baker , aimable , settles down . his wife aurelie is beautiful and much younger than he . she departs with a shepherd the night after aimable produces . . . see full summary »

terrence malick ' s first film wowed audiences ; his second , days of heaven , set a rapturous new standard in cinema aesthetics . david thomson shines a light on its legacy

as i mentioned earlier , beautiful people is indeed violent . if any of you are offended by misogyny , rape & graphic violence , this ain’t for you . some of it left a greasy taste in my throat , but i can’t say that i wasn’t fascinated with the proceedings , and as the film continued i was excited to see where it would all end . once the creatures are introduced , it goes so completely off the rails that it became something i had to see through to the end – despite the inherent ugliness of it all . but at just over 70 minutes long , it’s all over in a flash .

“the biggest problem is the ending , which a lot of viewers – perhaps especially disabled ones – may find insurmountable , ” wrote the telegraph’s tim robey . “we’re meant to feel especially sad about will’s incapacitation because he’s so beautiful , and so rich , and had such a swish life skiing with his dreadful friends ? this vacuous idea of what makes a life worth living is what really undoes it as a film worth seeing . ”

film : " the last airbender " ( 2010 ) is based on a nickelodeon cartoon featuring tribes and characters of asian and native american - descent and their journey to stop the fire nation from taking over their tribes . characters ' background : katara , her brother sokka and the rest of the water tribe are said to be primarily influenced by the inuit people and culture . aang , the titular character of the film and series , is of asian ancestry . casts ' background : the actors who portrayed the three main character mentioned above were all white with no asian or native american ancestry - - noah ringer as aang , nicola peltz as katara , and jackson rathbone as sokka . and the actors of color that were cast in the film ? they were all cast as villains .

“the slaves left . ” in three words , sofia coppola’s new film the beguiled casually dispenses with one of the great shames of the american republic . coppola’s film is an elegant southern gothic tale of masculine charms and feminine vengeance , completely stripped of its historical and racial context . while not every period genre picture need grapple with the “ peculiar institution , ” this is a film set during the civil war , unfolding between southern women and a northern soldier , and it goes so far as to cut both black characters from the novel upon which it was based .

some people say the tree of life may be the greatest film ever made . others think it ' s religiose and pretentious , high - minded and half - baked pictorialism . i ' m in the middle . i think its scenes of childhood are magnificent and unrivalled , and i recall from those first two films how alert and tender malick has always been to the young imagination . but the deeper it gets into life , the more clearly it reveals that being beautiful in a movie is not enough . the actor sean penn seems to have a similar feeling . once a malick devotee ( he is in the thin red line ) , penn believed the script had offered him a real part in the tree of life , but the film had turned him into a cipher lost in the sterile beauty of houston architecture , without a voice or a dramatic role .

“ i felt like i had to give these women a voice , ” coppola told film school rejects about her reason for making the film . a noble cause , though a little less urgent when you consider that the novel itself ( if not the eastwood film ) is narrated , chapter by chapter , from each woman’s perspective . “you always see stories about men at war , but i don’t think i’ve seen what happens to the women left behind , ” coppola continued . “i’ve always loved the women in the south , and the south in general ; it’s so exotic and different . ”

when the film is successful it shows the loneliness of people not allowed to be who they are , although " loneliness " doesn ' t cover it . it ' s more like alone - ness so acute the characters are " flung out of space " , as carol observes of therese . when intimacy finally comes , it is accompanied by loss . first love is often like that , but in " carol " it ' s intensified because their connection must remain hidden .

but that’s a subtle point for a movie that seems to think its audience is so dumb . instead , wellness starts to feel like a horror movie full of characters so impossibly stupid , that their behavior invites viewers to throw something at the ( insanely beautiful ) imagery on - screen .

james’ best pal is believed to have told guests at the middletons’ £6million mansion where the lavish reception was held : “now , to the love of james’s life . beautiful , energetic , loyal , soft mouth , comes on command , great behind - that’s enough about james’s spaniel rafa . ”

film : " prince of persia : sands of time " ( 2010 ) is based on the video game franchise that follows the fugitive fictional prince of persia , dastan , on different adventures . character ' s background : unsurprisingly , the prince of persia is meant to be persian . persia is actually what most people recognize as present - day iran . actor ' s background : jake gyllenhall is not iranian . he was born in california and is of mixed - european and jewish descent .

kahea ( native hawaiian , european ) : the constant mixture of cultures — yet portraying it as one . people may think all the songs were in hawaiian . ( editor : the non - english lyrics to songs such as " we know the way " were tokelauan not hawaiian . )

film : " argo " ( 2012 ) is based on the real - life work of top - level cia operative antonio j . mendez , who helped orchestrate the rescue of six american hostages in iran in 1980 . the film won the academy award for best picture . character ' s background : antonio j . mendez was born in nevada and is mexican - american . actor ' s background : ben affleck is not latino . he is of mixed - european descent .

the heavenly feeling in the movie is not really there in what happens to the people . the plot is full of tragedy , loss and separation , and of a briefly glimpsed paradise that cannot sustain human shortcomings . but heaven is there in the light on the grass , in the romantic aura of a house and in a few people in a place where there is no one else . it is the very american feeling of wanting to find the lonely panoramas , and that is one of the things that lets both a new world and the tree of life hover between poetry and bathos .

it starts , dream - like , with a pair of gigantic sea creatures ( a pufferfish and a seahorse ) gamboling to and fro against the black sea for an audience of two . after the viewer adjusts to the ethereality of the scene , the next striking thing about dmytro moyseyev ' s 2013 debut feature film , such beautiful people , is the delicate , sandy palette that pervades nearly every frame and helps carry the otherworldly mood from the opening scene through to the closing credits . yet color is only part of what makes each artfully composed shot seem as though it ' s a painting in its own right . director moyseyev and cinematographer serhii tartyshnikov paid close attention to every arrangement of strings of dried fish , holes in screens , fluttering curtains , down to the last detail—a difficult task in a landscape where every element differs by just one shade of tan .

setema ( 40 , samoan ) : moana by far was the most incredible . her heart , her desire , her strong will , and her unrelenting , unconquerable spirit allowed her to listen to her inner voice and go forward . she was so committed that she risked everything . they made her absolutely beautiful inside and out .

katey : i loved the movie overall . it was beautiful . but disney ( and everyone else ) must know that it’s impossible to make a movie that is a complete representation of a culture . it doesn’t mean that they did a bad job . they did a wonderful job . it just means that the job isn’t done !

no actual documentation of the honeyguide bird leading honey badgers to bee hives is known to exist , although they do this with humans . the " story " in the film is done with editing and a model bird simply being dangled in front of the badger .

pauline kael , the new yorker : “ star wars is like getting a box of cracker jack which is all prizes . this is the writer - director george lucas’s own film , subject to no business interference , yet it’s a film that’s totally uninterested in anything that doesn’t connect with the mass audience . there’s no breather in the picture , no lyricism ; the only attempt at beauty is in the double sunset . it’s enjoyable on its own terms , but it’s exhausting , too : like taking a pack of kids to the circus . an hour into it , children say that they’re ready to see it again ; that’s because it’s an assemblage of spare parts — it has no emotional grip . star wars may be the only movie in which the first time around the surprises are reassuring… . it’s an epic without a dream . but it’s probably the absence of wonder that accounts for the film’s special , huge success . the excitement of those who call it the film of the year goes way past nostalgia to the feeling that now is the time to return to childhood . ”

film : " othello " ( 1965 ) is one of many film adaptations of shakespeare ' s tragedy of the same name . character ' s background : othello is a general in the venetian army . he is also a christian moor , which means he is generally depicted with a dark - complexion . actor ' s background : british actor laurence olivier has no african or arab roots , which is why he wore full - on blackface to portray the jealous moor . that ' s right , he painted his skin several shades darker to play othello .

but for just this reason , “saint laurent” may represent a perfect match of filmmaker and subject . ysl’s commitment to elegance was all - consuming , and also represented a kind of transcendental consumerism . his life , or at least this movie’s idea of it , was both sumptuous and empty , hedonistic and sad . he was a creator and , even more , a collector , of attractive people , intense experiences and beautiful things . to visit him in old age , surrounded by servants , memories , occasional hallucinations and abundant objets d’art , is to sit with a pharaoh in a tomb furnished for the afterlife . you’re not sure if you’ve witnessed a tragedy in the guise of a fashion show , or the reverse .

in a study of over 400 films and television series , the university of southern california found that over half didn’t feature asian speaking characters . usc’s annenberg school found that in 2014 , only 5 percent of characters in film were asian , while nearly 75 percent of characters were white .

lately , i’ve been trying to stay away from describing movies as “lush” or “painterly , ” but if any film ever stood up , climbed onto a table , and demanded that vocabulary , it would be a cure f or wellness . working with his longtime cinematographer bojan bazelli , verbinski has conjured up a film where almost every frame could end up on one perfect shot to be studied and scrutinized . a train barreling toward a mountain tunnel , its windows a perfect symmetrical reflection ; lockhart and hannah talking beside a mirror - like fountain pool ; a slow dolly toward a seemingly empty therapy tub ; even the most banal moments become opportunities for artistry . production designer eve stewart further improves it with her detailed work , which gives the film a world war ii - meets - steampunk vibe full of old - school medical equipment and vast sensory - deprivation chambers .

a supernatural love story set in the south , " beautiful creatures " tells the tale of two star - crossed lovers : ethan ( alden ehrenreich ) , a young man longing to escape his small town , and lena ( alice englert ) , a mysterious new girl . together , they uncover dark secrets about their respective families , their history and their town .

leilani ( 35 , native hawaiian , japanese , and mexican ) : i loved the opening chant while the screen was still dark . those first few lines filled me with pride and excitement . i loved when the grandma was teaching the kids the legend of maui . everybody has a crazy grandparent / family member who always sees more than people think .

it’s frustrating , because a cure f or wellness is a beautifully shot film full of interesting ideas , but it dumbs itself down at every possible turn . a psychological thriller about an up - and - coming wall street executive ( dane dehaan ) who questions his sanity while trapped in that mysterious sanitarium , a cure f or wellness is fascinated by the destructive nature of the american work ethic , and how its idolatry has left us susceptible to gaslighting and far , far worse . but while verbinski ( director of the ring , the lone ranger , and the first three pirates of the caribbean movies ) expertly crafts an atmosphere of ever - deepening paranoia , the film isn’t able to hold on to its larger aspirations . he seems so concerned that the audience won’t connect the dots that he collapses the film into a wreckage of blockbuster conventions that likely won’t satisfy anyone .

film : " breakfast at tiffany ' s " ( 1961 ) is a hollywood classic that centers on the romance between young new york socialite holly golightly ( audrey hepburn ) and a man who moves into her building . character ' s background : mr . yunioshi is holly ' s hot - tempered japanese landlord , who she consistently tries to avoid . actor ' s background : mickey rooney was not japanese . in one of the most outlandish displays of yellowface and hollywood stereotyping , the american - born actor of scottish descent had slanted eyelids , buck teeth and a thick accent in the film .

the gang is made up of three people . nibbio ( danny cutler ) , who likes to tell people what’s going to happen to them beforehand . his younger brother , brett ( alex southern ) , who seems very apprehensive about what he’s doing , but still records the gang’s exploits to video for posterity , and testamento ( alex lucchesi ) , who basically does ( and enjoys ) all of the really dirty work . the family ( john & elena pontecorvo ) are played by david white & kate marie davies , and although they have problems maintaining their italian accents ( it all takes place in italy ) , they essay their roles well . they’re certainly up for the nudity & violence , which is copious and extremely gory .

the unearthly spell is broken when marta has to travel to the city to find her ivan . the viewer is reluctantly reminded that the beautiful people of the film don ' t really live in a marine fantasyland , but in living , breathing ukraine . it ' s almost as if the city itself is incapable of maintaining the illusion . the cinematography take on an amateurish quality totally absent from all preceding scenes , and the dialogue becomes stilted and enigmatic : the booksellers are inappropriately sarcastic , the bartender somehow overly witty , and the café ' s revelers oddly aggressive . despite the merrymaking and bustle of the city , it has none of the joie de vivre of the beachside retreat ; no one there , not even the artists or those in the bookstore , was reading japanese fairytales or reciting ivan drach . marta ' s unhappiness and confusion are palpable and transmitted to the viewer . mercifully the action returns to the refuge of the sea , the place where social conventions are familiar and understandable , and the place where our characters and the story of their lives belong .

setema : disney did an amazing job . there’s many polynesians who are hating on the movie . disney never said they were making a documentary . they made a movie to tie into the poly cultures and the island mythology . great job disney and thank you for doing such an incredible job representing our people with the sights , sounds , colors , music , and message .

people outside of disney have finally seen star wars : the force awakens ; if you’re not holed up in a bunker keeping out all news and plot details until friday , you can check out our compilation of initial reviews here . at a time like this , it’s also fascinating to go back and see what critics said about the original star wars when it was released in 1977 .

film : " noah " ( 2014 ) is a retelling of the biblical story of a man chosen by god and entrusted with a mission as he purges the earth with an apocalyptic flood . character ' s background : noah , much like other biblical figures , is from somewhere in ancient middle east . that means it ' s unlikely that he was so fair - skinned . actor ' s background : russell crowe was born in new zealand and is of mixed - european descent . he wasn ' t the only whitewashed character in the film , fellow cast members included jennifer connelly , ray winstone , anthony hopkins and emma watson .

coppola’s erasure of history is evident even in the period - accurate choice of filming location : madewood plantation house , where beyoncé shot parts of lemonade . the cast of the beguiled were so excited to be shooting at the same location that elle fanning and kirsten dunst re - created a shot from beyoncé’s film for instagram .

it’s not even a real fantasy film ! it’s someone making will smith think he’s in a fantasy film . that extra layer of artifice is not necessary , and actually harmful to your ability to enjoy collateral beauty . as every negative review has pointed out about this movie , this might be the cruelest trick ever played on a grieving fictional character in the history of drama . but it gets worse ! big willie styles starts going to a grief support group and falls for the head of the group , played by naomie harris . this is going to completely ruin this movie if you have some sick notion of seeing it , so fair warning .

* update , july 5 , 2017 : edwina in both films is a composite of two characters from the source novel : edwina , a wealthy biracial teenager seduced and betrayed by mcburney , and harriet farnsworth , a white teacher and sister to martha , kidman ' s headmistress character in the coppola film . ( return . )

there is a scene in days of heaven when malick seemed close to this quandary . there is a night when a plague of locusts , some as big as your hand , come down on the ranch . everyone rallies to beat the insects away with flails or fire . the bursts of orange in the night are staggeringly beautiful , and at one point malick notices and chooses to dwell on a locust on a stalk of corn with the contrast of fire and night making the image . it ' s as if one of the ranch hands desperate to save the ranch ' s crop had suddenly stopped in his efforts and his hostility to the locusts and said : " gee , have you ever really looked at a locust before ? they are amazing and so beautiful you feel there must be some design in their making . so why are we trying to hinder them ? "

beautiful girls was thurman’s first major picture after pulp fiction , for which she was nominated for best supporting actress . since then , she starred in the truth about cats and dogs ( 1996 ) , batman & robin ( 1997 ) and gattaca ( also 1997 ) . she re - teamed with quentin tarantino in 2003 for kill bill , and in 2017 she’ll team up with another tarantino regular , tim roth , in the brits are coming .

though o’donnell would continue to act in films after beautiful girls – among them , harriet the spy ( 1996 ) and tarzan ( 1999 ) – her career would soon move toward smaller screens . the rosie o’donnell show premiered in 1996 and lasted for more than 1 , 000 episodes . she still acts occasionally , but she’s probably best known today for being an on - air personality as a result of joining the view in 2006 and again in 2014 .

in the beguiled , coppola cuts out the enslaved housemaid mattie ( called hallie in the 1971 film ) , and she also turns the character edwina , who was a free mixed - race teenager in the novel , into a white teacher played by kirsten dunst . * asked why she cut out the enslaved woman from the original film , coppola told buzzfeed news , “i didn’t want to brush over such an important topic in a light way . young girls watch my films and this was not the depiction of an african - american character i would want to show them . ” perhaps her intentions were pure , but it’s hard not to see this as part of a larger pattern .

why are we so suspicious of one another ? it may be a trait hard - wired by evolution : if you ' re not in my tribe , you may want to eat my dinner or steal my mate . the irony about those two bosnian patients , fighting each other in the london hospital , is that they ' re the only two people in the building who speak the same language . so to speak .

in a 2006 article for vanity fair , author antonia fraser wrote about the experience of having her biography of marie antoinette adapted into a film by sofia coppola . according to fraser , coppola asked her , “would it matter if i leave out the politics ? ” to which fraser “replied with absolute honesty , ‘marie antoinette would have adored that . ’ ”

playing tommy “birdman” rowland , the former school jock who never made good on his potential , dillon bounced from beautiful girls into a string of ’90s hits : in & out ( 1997 ) , there’s something about mary and wild things ( both 1998 ) . most recently , dillon starred in the surprise hit miniseries wayward pines , which was picked up for a second season that will air later this year . dillon dated his mary costar cameron diaz from 1995 to 1998 .

holly was still attached to her dumb and dumber costar jim carrey at the time beautiful girls came out . they’d split in 1997 , and holly would go on to star in films such as any given sunday ( 1999 ) , what women want ( 2000 ) , as well as three seasons of ncis ( 2005 - 2008 ) . she’s been on the canadian procedural motive since 2013 . holly married investment banker francisco greco in 2001 , and together they have three children .

jacosa : we would all like to be able to say that media has no bearing in how we feel about ourselves , that we need no one’s validation . however , there is something really powerful and , yes , validating , about seeing a positive representation of your physical being in mainstream media . i would love for audiences and filmmakers to understand this , and to embrace the importance of respectful , positive depictions of all cultures and people .

as the sun rose on monday morning , the desert dust had settled and coachella weekend one officially drew to a close . but along with the music still echoing in our ears are the bountiful memories of all the beautiful faces that attended over the april 14 - 16 weekend . from the fashion - forward to the straight - up naked and downright weird , everyone had a unique way of showcasing their unique beauty , making the weekend an exceptionally magical experience . all photography by shane lopes .

over time we have come to expect a tsunami - sized wave of backlash when an actor of color is cast as a fictional character that audiences feel should be white ― see controversies over michael b . jordan as the human torch or amandla stenberg as rue of “the hunger games” ― but the outrage isn’t quite the same when white actors portray characters of color . even when , often , they are based of off real - life people of color .

tupua ( 31 , american samoan ) : just seeing people that look like me onscreen doing great and positive things . polynesians have complicated relationships with our parents because they can be really strict and many of them still discipline through spanking , so seeing positive moments between moana and her parents mean a lot to me . most poly guys are momma’s boys because their dads are so strict . i myself am very close to my mother and grandmother soooo i loved seeing that onscreen !

this film opens with a scene of a couple making love , but it isn’t what it seems to be because suddenly the man turns his partner over on her stomach and apologizes for what he’s about to do . they’re actually a married couple who are being forced to have sex in front of their teenage daughter by a psychotic gang of home invaders . it gets even uglier as the leader of the gang verbally abuses the entire family as the physical abuse continues . it all ends with a bloodbath in which the family is mercilessly slaughtered . but then the film cuts suddenly to a bloodied woman being kept in a basement cell of some sort . we only get to see her for a few seconds though , because she’s suddenly set upon by a flesh hungry zombie and ripped to shreds !
