Zombieland Review

In total, there are about ten or twenty completely random horror movies. From anywhere from zombies to werewolves, vampires, demons, and even more. The film Zombieland completely removes itself from what a generic horror movie is. I wouldn’t even put Zombieland under the title of horror, but more in the genre of comedy.
Jesse Eisenberg (from Adventureland) stars as Columbus, one of the few survivors from the zombie apocalypse. He is one of the only humans left in his town, mostly because of a list of tips he constructed. Some of his tips include Cardio (because the fat ones are the first to go), always check the back seat (Zombies could be anywhere), keep limber (you don’t want to pull anything while being chased by a blood thirsty zombie), and buckle you seat belt (well that one’s pretty self explanatory). He is traveling to Columbus Ohio to see if his parents have survived. Along the way he meets another survivor, Tallahassee (Played by Woody Harrelson from No Country for Old Men, Semi Pro, and more). Tallahassee is a professional zombie hunter, and hates zombies with a fiery passion. Tallahassee’s main goal in this apocalyptic life is to find a Twinkie, mainly because it reminds him of a simpler time. Throughout the story we found out why Tallahassee hates zombies and why he acts the way he does.
Also throughout their journey, Columbus and Tallahassee meet two girls Wichita (played by Emma Stone from the Rocker and Super Bad) and Little Rock (played by Abigail Breslin from Little Miss Sunshine and My Sister’s Keeper). Both of them are sisters and dealing with the death of their family by going to the theme park they went to as children. They manage to trick Columbus and Tallahassee on several occasions by faking a zombie bite, and later tricking them to get out of their car.
Considering that very few comedies came out this year, I can say with confidence that this was the funniest film of the year. And probably one of the coolest. One of the best parts of this movie was a cameo by Bill Murray. Murray had one of the best cameos by an actor playing himself in a movie that I’ve ever seen. It even showed Tallahassee creepy obsession with the actor, and the two of the recreating a scene from Ghost Busters in which Murray starred. I would definitely recommend this movie and I would easily see it again. The hilarious and awesome Zombieland gets aa 8.7 out of ten.
