ZOMBIELAND

Zombieland

Now I am not one for zombie movies, the undead, vampires, or horror flick in general, but when I seen the previews for Zombieland in the theater I turned to my son and said, "We gotta see that!"

Woody Harrelson (Cheer's, Natural Born Killers, Indecent proposal, Whaite men can't jump . . . ) Jesse Eisenberg (The Education of Charly Banks, The Village, Cursed)
Emma Stone (Super Bad, House Bunnies) all around hottie, and Abigail Breslin (Little Miss Sunshine, My Sisters Keeper, No Reservations, The Ghost Whisperer, The Santa Clause )

Excellent cast as you can tell, all have been acting for some time, and Abigail Breslin has as an impressive list of movies she has been in as Woody Harrelson. I loved Little Miss Sunshine. So the acting in the movie is excellent, and the writing was done just as well. There is no part in the movie that slows down enough that you think, I can go to the bathroom now. My Son held 32 oz of soda throught the whole movie because he did not want to miss a second of the action.

People on earth have been infected by a virus that is turning everyone into zombies, and if your not infected be prepared to defend yourself. This quartet of actors are thrust together during the course of the movie and find that since none of them have any family left, their little group is the closest thing they will have since the nation is in ruin. Each character in the movie goes by their hometown instead of their name, Woody (Tallahassee), Jesse (Columbus), Abigail (Little Rock), and Emma (Wichita), which adds a secret club feel to the movie.

There are excellent special effect to make you jump, but everything has a really light hearted feel to it that makes it very funny at times. Every character has a very unique quality to add to the movie that you will connect with at times, but Jesse Eisenburgs character is the one I connected with the most. He is the geek, just trying to make it in this new world of survival, and has made a list of rules to now live by. As the movie progresses the rules pop up on the screen, and 30 minutes into the movie you find yourself mentioning the rule to live by before it domes up on screen.

I highly recommend you go see ZOMBIELAND, it good enough you should see it twice.
