Zombieland

Tallahassee is nice this time of year. Especially when Tallahassee is the name of a character played by Woody Harrelson who wears a snake skin jacket, cowboy boots, has a hankerin' for Twinkies and has a shit load of guns!
Directed by Ruben Fleischer, Zombieland is a film about how to survive a zombie outbreak, we all know there's one just around the corner...
Much like Seth Grahame-Smith's 'How To Survive A Horror Movie', Zombieland is full of rules explained to us by Columbus (Jessie Eisenberg - who seems to be a graduate from the Michael Cera School of Acting). No one has real names here - they're only known by their home towns. I think my favourite rule is rule number 2 - the Double Tap... if you shoot a zombie (or any bad guy for that matter) best you shoot him twice just to be sure.
Tallahassee and Columbus meet up with Wichita (Emma Stone) and Little Rock (our Little Miss Sunshine, Abigail Breslin is growing up!) and dang do those girls have trust issues. Stealing cars and guns from the guys is like taking candy from a baby who doesn't like candy.
Rumours of a fun park that is Zombie free takes the four Zombie slayers to California where, grabbing a 'Map To The Stars' the gang find a place to get some much deserved rest...
There's only a handful of people with speaking parts (all the others are grunting and hissing) but there is one actor who makes a special cameo as himself that just makes this one of the funniest movies I've seen all year. I really wanna see that bit again!
Zombieland isn't just a bash/slash/baseball bat/decapitate/drop a piano on/shoot-em up Zombie flick, it's a story about family and finding that place where you fit in. It's also a story about not letting any hot chicks into your apartment.
A huge ten thumbs up for Zombieland, even the old couple behind me couldn't stop laughing. The writing is superb and witty, Fleischer did a great job directing. The opening credits with a montage of people being attacked by Zombies in slo-mo is so frikken good. I have a feeling Simon Pegg won't be too happy about it though... (Do have a read of that, it's bloody hilarious!)
