Zombieland



Welcome to the United States Of Zombieland

WOW, after all the zombie related movies/books/games being thrown at us it is amazing to me that we haven't grown sick of them, and then Zombieland comes along, it shows us that zombie movies are still great. Zombieland is set in a world that has been overrun by zombies, Jesse Eisenberg (Adventureland.) plays Columbus, a loner with a long list of strict rules that have kept him alive this long, he is soon picked up by Woody Harrelsons (Murderball, No Country For Old Men) character Tallahassee, Tallahassee is the complete opposite of the Columbus character, he has no set of rules, he has survived because he is a bad-ass, as Columbus says “ Tallahassee was in the ass-kicking business and... business was good.” This post apocalyptic odd-couple then run into two sisters Wichita and Little Rock, played by Emma Stone (Superbad, Paperman) and Abigail Breslin ( Little Miss Sunshine) the sisters are con artist and have survived by trusting no-one and swindling every survivor they come across. As for the plot, there isn't much to go on, Tallahassee spends his the entire movie looking for a Twinkie and the sisters plan on going to a theme park after hearing rumours that it is zombie free, the plot is unimportant, it is the characters relationships that make this movie so great. All the performances are great, Eisenberg plays his hermit character well, Harrelson is the strongest link in his movie, his lines are so quotable and it is fantastic to watch him attempt to get Zombie Kill Of The Week. Stone is stunning and plays her girl next door role perfectly, Breslin is already showing how great of a actress she is at such a young age, she is certainly one to look out for in the future.

A MUST WATCH
