I absolutely love zombie movies. I've seen everything from the good (Dawn of the Dead, 2004), to the bad (Day of the Dead, 2008), to the downright horrific (The Evil Dead, 1981). So you can understand my curiosity and immediate need to experience Zombieland when it opened to high praises and rave reviews in 2009.
In a post-apocalyptic United States plagued by a virus outbreak, a young man (Jesse Eisenberg) journeys east in search of both parents. The main obstacle to his goal, aside from the complete breakdown of society, is the ever-present danger of being eaten alive by the infected. To help him better survive this zombie apocalypse, he comes up with a list of rules. This includes things as trivial as avoiding bathrooms and travelling light. It is this list though, coupled with his reclusive nature, that has kept him alive thus far. But he soon finds out that some rules are made to be broken.
His journey brings him in contact with an interesting cast of characters: Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson), a hard-as-nails zombie killing machine with a soft spot for Twinkies, and the sweet but conniving sisters, Wichita (Emma Stone) and Little Rock (Abigail Breslin). Together, they embark on a road trip to what might be the only safe haven left in the country, an amusement park.
I went into Zombieland fully prepared to hate its guts. This was not only due to the fact that it was infringing on the territory of one of the funniest movies I've ever seen (Shaun of the Dead), but because it had successfully dethroned my favorite zombie movie (Dawn of the Dead, 2004) as the highest grossing zombie movie of all time. I soon realized however that I was just being silly.
Zombieland excels for a number of reasons. It is funny, action-packed and its characters show a surprising level of depth. What it lacks though is true scares. It quickly becomes apparent that while the movie might be graphic and violent, it is closer to an action-comedy than a horror-comedy.
All that said, I thoroughly enjoyed watching Zombieland and would highly recommend it to anyone, like me, with a love of all things undead.
Of course you posted on Zombieland. One of my all time favorite movies. I seriously just love the "rules".
ReplyDeleteI've so enjoyed reading your blog during this challenge. I'm glad you participated so I could find it. Can't wait to see what you've got coming up in the future (non A-Z related)!!
Thanks. I really look forward to reading your posts too. :)
DeleteI loved Zombieland. And it's almost funnier knowing that Chris Pine's Carriers is almost exactly the same movie, but without the jokes.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen Carriers, but now that you've brought it to my attention, I'll be sure to check it out as soon as possible. :)
DeleteYou have great taste in movies. I've really enjoyed reading your blog. Congrats to you for finishing the challenge!
ReplyDeleteThanks. I've really enjoyed reading your blog too. You're the first hardcore gamer I've run across on the blogosphere. So I'm definitely looking forward to your post-challenge blog posts. :D
DeleteWhat I'm surprised about is that we didn't review the same film on any day! Not even on the obscure letters such as QXZ.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to reading some of your "normal" posts now.
Now that you mention it, that IS somewhat odd. I almost did Valhalla Rising for the letter V, but then I would have just ended up tearing the movie apart (something I avoided doing throughout the challenge). :))
DeleteInteresting... althought ripping movies apart is all part of the fun! I nearly did X-Men for X, but I wanted to watch something I'd never heard of before.
DeleteI've a post which will be going up in the next few hours with an update to the blogroll. I've mentioned you, so hopefully it'll help you get a bit more publicity!
Gee. Thanks. I feel deeply honored.
DeleteI love every single person on the cover of that movie. I'll have to check it out.

Yep. I can't even imagine a better ensemble for this movie. :)
DeleteGosh, i so so so love zombieland. I'm kinda following the "rules" now. lol
ReplyDeleteI love this review so much that i can't help commenting once more, i loved the look on Woody Harrelson's face when he was about to slaughter zombies at the amusement park.... A very great film
ReplyDeleteYet another first person shooter game this time around, but the first
ReplyDeleteFar Cry was quite good. Thus professional firms
for web development in London are better got in
touch with. If you have ever tried to kid yourself that everything will be
fine and glossed over certain issues because you wanted to avoid them, or did not know how to deal with them.
In exchange you'll have to pay a bit more for the GT 220, as most models are around $60 or $70 dollars. Of course, the layout of the apps is completely customisable, so you can place your most commonly used apps and widgets within easy reach, so they can be instantly accessed after unlocking the screen. Those pain killers and medications hide the problem without dealing with the true cause. Talcahuano. Most visitors on a trip to Munnar invariably end up at the Tata Tea Museum and gain some delightful insights into the process of tea making. A far cry from the land of milk and honey you may think. Therefore, you cannot afford to miss this incredible shooter game involving a series of killings.

When it comes to fishing, some goes for fishing as an entertainment

One of the benefits of fishing is that it is not physically
demanding. Most of the fishable water in the upper river is boulder runs in deep canyons and it
is scenic.

Like any game, when we stay within the rules, we score, and when we play outside the rules there of course is a penalty.
ReplyDeleteHowever, every character in the game (even supporting players)
should be presented in this same detail. Are you a Kansas City Chiefs or Pittsburgh Steelers fan.
