Zombieland
Poster featuring the four main characters
Columbus: "It's amazing how fast the world can go from bad to total shit storm."
After a man eats a burger at a fast food restaurant he becomes a mad flesh eating zombie and soon after that the whole world has been infected and those who aren't will do anything to survive. Columbus (Eisenberg) has his set of rules that will keep hm alive. Then he meets Tallahassee who is a bad one and loves to make a game out killing zombies. Columbus and Tallahassee go around looking for Twinkies because that is the one thing Tallahassee wants most.
Then they meet a sister pair Wichita (Emma Stone) and Little Rock (Abigail Breslin) who steal their guns and vehicle. After they chase them down and become friends the 4 of them go on a journey which includes Billy Murray and an amusement park.
I went into this with low expectations seriously . I thought this film would be trying to hard to be something it wasn't. I was wrong. For once I was glad to have been wrong. This film was entertaining, hardcore with some good gore and some great liners. The acting was as good as one can expect from a comedy about zombies. Without the Harrelson's wit and comedy this film would have probably been nothing. Although I was also pleased with Eisenberg's awkward portrayal of a nerd caught up in a mess.
Emma Stone was great as well, playing the mysterious good looking girl named Wichita. I like Emma Stone, she is a good young actress who has a great personality in every day life. Superbad was a good film for her to debut in. And of course future Oscar winner Abigail Breslin was just the feisty little kid.
I could easily feel like I could have hung out with these guys and I found myself easily understanding Columbus and his shyness with girls. Each and every character has a trait that you can relate too. I found this film was way better then what it shows itself to be in the trailers. It has its funny moments as well as the darker moments. A solid film that I can honestly say I am glad I took a chance on.
