Death and Twinkies

Rating: 8/10 (5 May 2019)

Nut up or shut up. 10 years ago, audiences everywhere fell in love with Zombieland. Consider it the American equivalent of Shaun of the Dead. Just as inventive, just as bloody and nearly as funny. Complete with a central cast that just clicked so well together, and that doesn't happen everyday. Jesse Eisenberg's clinic in neurosis acting is a grating chore to watch looking back, but here, it suits him well. Something about a wormy coward running away from zombies that want to rip him to shreds is funny. Woody Harrelson is a good laugh and a half as Tallahassee. Hard as nails, but a sucker for Twinkies. Of course, the funniest scene in the film, hands down, is the Bill Murray sequence. He's playing fan service for certain, but he comes at it with his A-Game. This is worth seeing if you haven't. I am now prepared, and I happily await the sequel coming this fall.
