A little late off the starting line with this one but finally I'm writing a review on one of the best films I've seen (at the theaters) in a long time...
ZOMBIELAND
First off lets get this out of the way SPOILER ALERT!! Now then, this movie fucking rocks...in more than one way. If you seen the trailer, you know the plot, if you didn't get it you suck. So instead I like to list off some of my favorite parts and the reasons why this movie is and will be a huge hit.
RULE #1: Always open with metal...
This film kicks it off in a special way featuring "For Whom the Bell Tolls" while images of broken bones, bitten flesh and flying teeth fill in the rest. At this point I was in and couldn't be more excited.
RULE #2: Comedy, Comedy, Comedy...
This film is not a horror-comedy, its a comedy (with zombie scenery) and it works perfectly. The zombies are there and they pose some kinda threat, but they are far from the focus, this movie is all about the characters and how they deal with life in this reality. The laughs are non stop (except for one moment in particular) and just when you think you've seen (and heard) it all, we get the cameo of a life time...Bill Murray...that's right I said it, BILL FUCKING MURRAY!! (not to say his middle name is fucking). Fuck he's perfect for the role and if your a vet you'll know to stay threw the credits cause Bill comes back to steal the scene again.
RULE #3: Opposites attract...
Lastly I wanna talk about the dynamic duo, no not the b-man and boy wounder...were talking about Tallahassee and Columbus two dudes that have nothing in common except for capturing my heart. These guys have got something for everybody, although the female roles in the movie where way underwritten, they didn't skimp on our two beaus. If you can't get behind Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg), a neurotic nerd who's O.C.D. puts my own to shame. Then perhaps you can show some love for Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson), a guy who kicks zombie ass and loves Twinkies (a little to much). Combined you've got one hell of a team, a true classic buddy duo.
This movie is one I can recommend to everyone, a film for the casual and hardcore fans alike. Do yourself a favor and see this movie...NOW!!
