Quest for a TWINKIE

Rating: 10/10 (12 October 2009)

You know it is really great to go to a movie and truly have fun and feel you got your money's worth. ZOMBIELAND was awesome !!! Killing zombies is cool, really cool when it is done by a perfect collection of social misfits. Do not show up late for this movie or you will miss out on one of the coolest intro I have seen in a long time. Lots of cool clips of zombies in slow motion while letters from credits fall out of the way, simple yet brilliant.
I don't know what it is about apocalyptic movies where only a few humans are left standingI mean sure it would be difficult and dangerous but for some reason the idea of having the world as your playground seems almost like a dream. But I love the concept that 4 of the survivors are on extremes of the social pool.
You of course have you gun-toting crazy redneck, probably the only part of society that learns how to use a gun by the time they can walk, played perfectly by Woody Harrelson. The NERD, yep that's right there is always going to be a nerd population that uses its wits and logic to survive, and this one is a sarcastic yet polite person who has developed rules and methods to survive. Jesse Eisenberg pretty much continued the same Adventure land character into the same park just full of zombies. Then you have your con-artist hot girl Emma Stone who has one of the most gorgeous set of eyes I have ever seen, ohh and the rest of her is hot too. And of course there is always the young kid that just finds a way to survive; Abigail Breslin does a great job of delivering in a minimal role.
The writers (Rhett Reese + Paul Wernick) and director Ruben Fleischer are young by movie industry standards, did not follow a formula and HIT this movie out of the park. They did not need to rely on stupid formula scare tricks; like "quick zoom camera" or "loud noise before the attack" or the one I hate the most the "turn around look behind you".
And the movie has Bill Murray in itwhat's not to love there! The only complaint I have about this movie is it should have been longer, to show more zombie whacking or running in to a few more survivors.
