I walk into the air-conditioned gym and hand my membership card over to The Cute Girl With The Nice Calves working the front desk. 

She smiles.  I smile back.  There’s a sale – 25% off – through Wednesday on cookie dough-flavored protein bars.

She waves my card through the scanner – beep! – everything checks out. 

She looks at me and says, “Enjoy your workout!”

“You too,” I reply (like an idiot) then pass through the turnstile.

I finally got around to watching 28 Weeks Later, the sequel to 2002′s 28 Days Later, about a week ago.

Now I love a good horror flick, and zombie movies in particular are a guilty pleasure of mine.  (Of course, as the filmmakers are quick to point out, “the Infected” in 28 Days Later and its sequel aren’t “zombies” in the traditional sense of the word.) 

Overall, I enjoyed 28 Weeks Later; it’s a worthy sequel, and I do recommend it, especially if you’re like me and watched the first film but held off on seeing the second.  It’s definitely worth a rental. 

Is it better than the first?  Well, that’s a tough call, but overall, I’d have to say no.
