Movie Review – Zombieland Is Epic!

Hrothmund — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 05:03:28 +0000

The story…

The movie opens up with Columbus (the main character played by Jessie Eisenberg) telling you about a horific disease that has spread across the world turning people who are bitten by those who are infected into zombies. Very few people people are left who are unaffected. Columbus explains that there are several rules that you must use to survive in Zombieland (what he now calls the U.S.). The rules add to the comedic nature of the film such as the “Double Tap” or “Wear your seatbelt” rules. Columbus being a very phobic person has survived partially because he has no friends and no loved ones around him.

Columbus while being on the way to Columbus, OH (yes, they are given names by other people according to what city they are going to avoid becoming attached to one another) runs into a rather redneck Tallahassee driving a rather “beefed” up, Dale Earnhardt painted car. We learn that Tallahassee is a big twinkie lover and it is his goal to find all the twinkies he can before they expire. This unlikely pair teams up and makes their way east. (I’d of course go into further detail, but the rest of the movie would be funnier left unsaid)

The verdict…

Zombieland is an extremely funny (and comically gorey) movie. Tallahassee’s sick humor along with the ever scared Columbus makes the movie a extremely enjoyable experience. Adding random zombies and a special celebrity cameo only make the film’s hilarity unbearable. It’s a great movie and is still funny the second and third viewing.

Movie of the Week – Law Abiding Citizen

Hrothmund — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 17:16:34 +0000

I wasn’t thrilled about seeing this movie when I first heard about it, though all the trailers for it did look cool. After I left the movie theater I was left completely shocked by how well Gerard Butler played the villian Clyde Shelton in the movie.

The details…

The essential story behind the movie starts off when Clyde Shelton’s family is robbed and his wife and daughter are murdered. The criminals get taken to court, but only Ames (one of the killers) actually gets a life-in-prison sentence, because Darby (who actually committed the murders) made a plea bargain to testify against Ames and plead guilty instead to Murder to the third degree. Clyde is upset that Nick (played by Jamie Fox), his attorney, made the plea bargain because he wanted to atleast fight for both of them to go to jail. Clyde, upset because Ames and Darby weren’t held “accountable for their actions”, desides to bring the justice sentence down from the top to the bottom and take the law into his own hands.

The verdict….

The movie is a great action movie and I’m sure Gerard will get a nomination for best villian in some award ceremony. Asides from the gorey parts in the movie which makes it R rated, I’m extremely glad I saw this movie and would might actually go see it a second time.

Great stuff. Anyways check it out for yourselves!
