Zombieland (2009)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1156398/
Director: Ruben Fleischer
Starring: Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Emma Stone & Abigail Breslin
So, the world has been overrun by zombies. The same old story we've heard a thousand times over. One of the pluses of this film is they decided to skip past how it happened and jump right into the thick of it. It begins with Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg) fighting off some zombies in small town Texas while stating his basic rules of survival that he has mapped out. He hits the road hoping to go back home and find his family. Along the way he runs into a hero after my own heart, Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson) in the best role he's played since Mickey in Natural Born Killers. The two team up and do some road trip zombie killin' in search of other survivors and twinkies. They run into a couple girls who fuck them over the way that women do time and time again.
This film is awesome. It gives you some good zombie blood and guts, lots of head smashes, full on comedic assault, all the action you need and the best damn cameo ever by Bill Murray. The only thing it lacked was a little more of the horror. Needed just a touch more suspense and thrills and it would have been a 5 * film. Out of all the films this Halloween season this seems the best to blow your bucks on. Hits theaters nationwide October 2nd. Mark your calenders, this is actually worth crawling out of your hole to go see.
Verdict: * * * * 1/2
