Starring: Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone, Abigail Breslin
Genre: Comedic Suspense/Horror
Grade: B+
So Jesse Eisenberg (Adventureland) plays Columbus, a nerdy zombie survivor who is trying to return home to find his family. Woody Harrelson plays Tallahassee, a lone wolf who doesn't let people get too close. And he's dang good at killing zombies. Columbus isn't too bad himself, what his ever expanding list of rules to zombie survival (double tap, no bathrooms, limber up, and cardio among them). Columbus catches a ride with Tallahassee and along the way, they get conned by two very smart ladies, played by Emma Stone and Abigail Breslin. Their names are Wichita and Little Rock. Wichita and LR are on their way to Pacific Playland which they heard is a zombie free zone. They steal Columbus and Tallahassee's vehicle and weapons -which backfires on them- so they end up sticking together and learn how to survive as a team.
All right - my thoughts. I really enjoyed the heck out of Zombieland. I love zombie movies and throw in some humor and its golden. Sean of the Dead - I love it. Zombieland is really gory though - which works and is used for humor as well. Woody Harrelson is freaking hilarious (I haven't cried this hard since Titanic) and Jesse Eisenberg plays the hopeless nerd even better than Michael Cera (ooh snap! lol). The two ladies, Emma Stone (Superbad) and Abigail Breslin also do a good job of conwomen who trust no man. Bill Murray also has a hilarious cameo.
So if you like zombies and if you like to laugh, definitely check out Zombieland. It's not as dumb as it looks.

In the not too distant future, a secret government chemo-virus gets released into conservative Sartre, Nebraska and lands in an underground strip club. As the virus begins to spread, turning the strippers into 'Super Zombie Strippers', the girls struggle with whether or not to conform to the new 'fad' even if it means there is no turning back.
No, this isn't a porno even though it stars Jenna Jameson. My cousin owns this movie and told us we need to watch it. He said it was so horrible that its good. Liar. It's dumb, stupid and just plain corny.
There was nothing else to watch and so we popped this movie in. Basically its about a star stripper that turns into a zombie. But being a zombie improves her polel dancing skills. Soon all the guys just want see zombie strippers. All the other strippers get jealous and want to be zombies too.
You know how sometimes a movie is so bad that it's funny. This movie isn't even that. So if you are looking for a really bad movie with zombie strippers that shoot ping pong balls and cue balls from their va jay jay, then this is the movie for you.
Welcome to Willard, a small town lost in the idyllic world of the 50s, where the sun shines every day, everybody knows their neighbor, and rotting zombies deliver the mail. Years ago, the earth passed through a cloud of space dust, causing the dead to rise with a craving for human flesh. A war began, pitting the living against the dead. In the ensuing revolution, a corporation was born: ZomCon, who defeated the legions of undead, and domesticated the zombies, making them our industrial workers, our domestic servants--a productive part of society. ZomCon would like the people of Willard to believe they have everything under control--but do they? Timmy Robinson doesnâ¿¿t think so. At eleven, Timmy already knows the world is phony baloney--Mom and Dad just won't admit it. Now ZomCon's head of security has moved in across the street, and Timmy's Mom refuses to be the only housewife on the block who doesn't have a zombie of her own. When she brings a zombie servant home, Timmy discovers a new best friend, and names him Fido. And even though Dad has a bad case of zombie-phobia, Timmy is determined to keep Fido, even if he does eat the odd person. Sometimes, it takes a dead man to teach us all what it means to be alive.
I normally don't do zombie movies. The eating of the flesh and brains and all that gore. Pass. But this movie is different. Yes it does have a few zombie attacks but it wasn't gross.
The zombies wear collars and they are harmless creatures doing odd jobs. Delivering newspapers, gardening, cleaning etc. One guy has his zombie, Tammy, as his play thing. Ewwww. Once in a while the collar will have a hiccup and a zombie will attack.
Interesting movie. In a way kind of cute. Worth checking out.
A while back, Rowena did a review on Will Smith's I am Legend. And Mollie commented on how much better the Resident Evil trilogy is. LOL So I took it upon myself to watch all 3 movies today - because I'm a loser with nothing better to do. Just kidding - I did get other stuff done, i.e. interacted with humans, took out the garbage...you know. So its not like I sat on the couch all day, although my mom will beg to differ.
So first Resident Evil - I really enjoyed it! As soon as it was done, I had my little bro (who had been hounding me for a while to see these) pop the second movie in.
Was I ever in for a surprise watching Resident Evil: Apocalypse! Oded Fehr, hottie extraordinaire (from the Mummy) was in it! LOL Seriously, it doesn't take much to impress me. At the end, I was like, Ok, I'm still digging it.
So real life intruded for a bit - also the fact that I didn't have Resident Evil: Extinction on hand. So while I was helping with supper, I looked up the trailer, because I remember seeing it, but thinking, Meh. So yeah, after having watched the first two, I was really looking forward to Extinction.
In the end? I was a little bit disappointed with Extinction - but I still found it enjoyable. I hated that hottie Oded kicked the bucket, but at least he went out in style! LOL
If you like zombie movies, and you haven't seen these, go check them out. They're good times. :P
