Zombieland

Thank you Hollywood for giving me Zombieland, it has been far too long since I have seen a movie that I enjoyed seeing, and this one has zombies in it to boot!

PLOT Well, what else is there to say but zombies have taken over the world and after a humorous slow-mo intro we begin the adventure of Columbus. A college student traveling to Ohio to find his parents and has a list of rules to survive by the most important being Cardio, the Double Tap and Seat Belts. By following these rules our unlikely protagonist found he could survive long enough to run across Tallahassee, an ass kicking southerner who revels in the sport of killing rabid zombies and the endless pursuit of a good Twinkie.

Blah, blah, blah. So along these two travel until they happen upon Wichita and Little Rock, two sisters who con them out of their vehicle and weapons… twice but eventually team up on a trip to Los Angeles’ fun park “Pacific Playland” which is believed to be zombie free. Okay and you know, I can’t say anything else without laying out the entire story and this would be an injustice, especially since I am not funny.

FINAL THOUGHT A humorous story of 4 unlikely people who bond over the destruction of human kind… and Bill Murray. I was not let down by this movie but if you ask me, if this movie was put in the ring with Shawn of the Dead the latter would beat Zombieland to a bloody brain searching pulp, but awesome British comedy aside, this was the first movie that I have watched featuring the acting styling of Woody Harrelson that has not made me want to throw a shoe at his one dimensional head. Seriously, I hate that guy but add a smear of zombie and apparently I become accepting of even the most vile of southern drawlers.

FINAL FINAL THOUGHT Did anyone else notice the uncanny resemblance between Wichita and Ophelia from Brutal Legend the latest creation from video game genius Tim Schaffer?
