Zombieland (2009)

      My fiancé and recently watched Zombieland, and it reminded me of the Dawn of the Dead remake mixed with Shawn of the Dead.  Now I liked both of those movies and have seen them over and over.  I am a huge fan of horror movies as well as comedy.  I think Jesse Eisenberg was great cast as Columbus who was this almost OCD nobody. He has certain rules he lives by which kept him alive. Then you come across Woody Harrelson who plays Tallahassee who is this gun ho, beat them down and ask questions later kind of guy. His whole goal in the move is to get a Twinkie. I can understand that you know you want what you can’t have be it a Twinkie or $100000000.  Then of course you throw in the cute chick with the baby sister and you got a good movie.

 

        So we start off with Columbus explaining his rules to live by if you want to survive a zombie invasion.  Rule # 1 is cardio, if you can’t run how you plan on getting away. Rule #2 is Double Tap and you know why. How many times have you been watching a scary movie and the bad guy is shot and the people walk away while you are screaming at your TV “he’s not dead, shoot him again”? This is why you double tap, there never dead the first time.  Rule # 3 is beware of bathroom; it’s one of your most vulnerable times tons of people die every year on the pot. Rule # 4 is wear your seatbelt. Zombie on the roof of your car, you speed up and slam on the break. You stay safe and zombie goes flying. There is ton more rules which you will see when you watch the movie.

               

                I really like Woody Haralson, or Tallahassee in this movie, he is this funny little redneck who is all about killing him some zombies. Oh yeah and getting his Twinkie. He braves every store he passes to find his tastes bud quenching Twinkie.  He has the gun power, the car, and the balls to wipe out zombie kind. He is the kind of guy you want around if you happen to run in to a couple hundred zombies or what not!  

 

            Then for a little spice you add in a hot chic with a little sister, who happen to be con artists. They steal your guns, your car and leave you stranded in the middle of no wear.  All the while you’re falling in love with them.  Check it out tell me what you think!
