Zombies!! Entertainment!! Fun!!

Rating: 7/10 (3 April 2010)

It's been quite a while since I've seen a good zombie movie. The last one I saw was Land of the Dead, which was so horrid that it completely put me off the genre for a while. Thankfully, Zombieland came along to remind me of why I like these kinds of movies so much.
Zombieland doesn't try to make any grand social statements, or critique the ills of modern day society. It's just a funny, enjoyable ride. The small cast is uniformly great, the story zips along at a lively pace, and (maybe most importantly) lots and lots of zombies meet their end in violent and creative ways. This isn't a revolutionary movie, by any means. It doesn't do anything that hasn't been seen before in the genre, but does everything it borrows, fairly well. Bring on the sequel!
