Zombieland

I caught a screening of Zombieland today. I wrote not too long ago about my anticipation of this film. It did NOT disappoint. Woody Harrelson makes this movie. The zombies are the background to the story about a boy trying to survive and build trust between the few survivors he has found on the road. The boy (called Columbus due to his wanting to get to Columbus, Ohio) has a set of rules he strictly follows to escape any zombie situation he may find himself in. He's a typical WOW kid that has no family and misses humans if only for the fact they did'nt try to eat him when they were around. Along the way he meets a man calling himself Tallahassee (same reason as Colombus). They trust each other long enough to meet two sisters that are sly and un-trusting. The older sister strikes Colombus as someone he could be with. The movies pulls you in through the characters and the setting. Tallahassee is dangerous, funny and a wild man that anybody would love to have by their side in a post-apocolyptic scenereo. The third act has a great action sequence in an amusement park that had me wanting more by the end. I won't spoil the Bill Murray scene, but let's just say it's pretty brilliant. Loved loved LOVED this movie, and so did my wife :). Best movie of the year so far! (sorry Quentin. maybe in Kill Bill 3 you can bring in a zombie David Carradine... too soon?)

A+
