Here’s a fun zombie film.\u00a0 Shaun of the Dead gets all of the love, but Zombieland is a worthy challenger to the crown of best zombie comedy.\u00a0 Also, Return of the Living Dead has to be mentioned too.<\/p>\n

By now, you probably know the story.\u00a0 You have 4 main characters: Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg), Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson), Witchita (Emma Stone), and Little Rock (Abigail Breslin.\u00a0 This film is initially more of a buddy film with Columbus and Tallahassee, which is probably the best stuff in the film.\u00a0 I loved the rules.\u00a0 Seriously, I always preach the double tap in horror films.\u00a0 It drives me nuts.\u00a0 Spend the extra bullet for peace of mind!\u00a0 Eventually, they meet up with Witchita and Little Rock, who are\u00a0grifters basically.\u00a0 Colombus and Tallahassee continually get screwed over by the girls, but Columbus gets feelings for Witchita, which constantly clouds his judgment.\u00a0 In the end, everybody is pretty much happy, except for Bill Murray.<\/p>\n

As I said, my favorite parts are the interactions between Jesse and Woody.\u00a0 I know that a lot of people don’t like Jesse or Michael Sera, and I actually like them both.\u00a0 To each their own.\u00a0 Woody is consistently great at everything he does and NEVER gets the acknowledgment that he deserved as an all-time great.\u00a0 Go ahead, try naming 10 actors with bigger and better resumes.\u00a0 The rules were a big part of this, and I feel that they learned from Fight Club how a simple gimmick can help a film be very memorable.\u00a0 Woody’s quest for a Twinkie was also fantastic.\u00a0 I prefer Snow Balls myself, but I like coconut.\u00a0 I love every aspect of them.\u00a0 I have never liked Twinkies.\u00a0 Which by the way, just because someone is fat, this generalization of “Go eat another twinkie” is fucking offensive.\u00a0 Maybe I don’t want a twinkie.\u00a0 Oreos are far worse for you because you don’t ever just have one Oreo.\u00a0 Just saying, enough with the twinkie shit.\u00a0 Most of my fat friends don’t even like them, so it’s a poor stereotype.\u00a0 Up you name calling game thin people.<\/p>\n

I have heard that we may eventually get a sequel, but I feel like it’s too late to do it.\u00a0 I’m not sure what would be funny about the apocalypse 10 years later.\u00a0 I think that there was a finite window to do a sequel, within 3 years.\u00a0 Beyond that, it’s just not worth it.\u00a0 And this film is strong enough to stand on its own.\u00a0 Sequels, especially to comedies, rarely hit the mark.<\/p>\n

Rating: 7.1 – I enjoyed this film in the theater.\u00a0 I enjoyed it on blu ray.\u00a0 I have seen this four or five times now.\u00a0 It has good replay value when you want something lighthearted.\u00a0 There are no real negatives that kill the film for me.<\/p>\n
