Quite possibly better than Shaun Of The Dead

Rating: 10/10 (9 November 2009)

Coming out the horror-comedy Zombieland, I was surprised how much I liked it. I was personally getting a little tired of zombie films, but then Zombieland made me want to see ever more zombie films. It is a funny, original, cool film with a lot of awesome zombie killing. The film stars Jesse Eisenberg, who you may know from such films as Adventureland, Roger Dodger, and The Squid And The Whale. He plays Columbus, a boy who survived becoming a zombie because of his long list of rules. He figures he's the only non-zombie left, until he meets Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson), a man who doesn't have any rules. Tallahassee also is dying for a Twinkie. Watching Eisenberg and Harrelson make sparks off each other's characters is great fun, even more so that their characters are different in every way imaginable. Tallahasse and Columbus soon meet Wichita and Little Rock (Emma Stone and Abagail Breslin) in a very, very, very funny scene. They are two more non-zombies. Mike White is hilarious in a 5 minute role as a gas station clerk that they show as a couple of examples before becoming a zombie, and Bill Murray makes a hilarious cameo. White and Murray alone make Zombieland worth seeing, but there's about 500 more things to love about Zombieland. This is a very, very, very highly recommended film in my opinion.
