Zombieland

Zombieland

Wow. Let me start out by saying WOW! This movie was awesome. So many things I loved about this movie. In all honesty, I can’t think of negative things to say about it at the current moment, which is because I am so stoked on it. It reminds me a lot of Shaun of the Dead. I don’t want to make an outlandish statement saying one is better than the other, but currently Zombieland has my heart. It has all the things I want, zombies, hot chicks, comedy, and gore. Plus it has Woody Harrelson and Bill Murray.

Earth's population has been decimated by a virus, related to

the mad cow disease, that turns everyone into flesh-craving zombies. Only a handful of humans remain, including Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg), a student at the University of Texas trying to make his way to his hometown of Columbus, OH, where he hopes his parents are still alive. Columbus has long been an outsider and somewhat phobic, which he uses to his advantage in avoiding zombies. In fact, zombies are not his greatest fear: clowns are. In order to stay alive, he has created a list of rules, rules that he always follows no matter what.

While walking down the highway, he encounters Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson), driving an Escalade. He is trying to get to Florida and kill as many zombies as he can on the way. Tallahassee agrees to give Columbus a ride as far as Texarkana. When they stop at a grocery store in hopes of finding Tallahassee's coveted Twinkies, they fight off three zo

mbies then find two teenage girls, Wichita (Emma Stone) and her younger sister, Little Rock (Abigail Breslin) in the storeroom.

From there, it’s a series of cons back and forth, and killing Zombies, and they end up traveling together to get to a theme park in LA based on rumors that zombies are not there.

This movie had a lot of good things going for it over all. The flesh eating zombie scenes were awesome. Killing the zombies was even cooler. Woody Harrelson is a master at killing zombies, and uses many cool weapons to do so. Jesse Eisenberg was brilliant. At first, I thought this is a wanna be Michael Cera, but he is something new and fresh and not as annoying. Emma Stone and Abigail Breslin worked very well together, and made a good sister team in the movie.

Did I mention it was very funny? Bill Murray was excellent in it. He had a good cameo in it, and his brief moment in the movie was classic. All in all, the movie was a good laugh and riot.
