BEETLE TAKES A TRIP TO ZOMBIELAND

HEY THERE BEETLEHEADS!!!!

I just saw what would best be described as a Summer Movie released in the Fall. It's pretty bad-ass, funny, and intelligent all at the same time (a feat pretty hard to accomplish, esepecially in the rare zombie film). What film am I talking about??? ZOMBIELAND.

The film never really bothers to fully develop a plot, instead opting to drop us into a lonely College Student's zombified world of chaos and kick-assedness. The film deals its cards fast and loose. Within 15-20 minutes our anti-hero has met up with Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson), a twinkie-obsessed zombie killer with one mean attitude. BUT THATS WHY WE LOVE HIM!!! Around 10-15 minutes after their first meeting they run into the incredibly hot Wichita (Played by Emma Stone...seen previously in Superbad) and her somewhat annoying little sister Little Rock (Played by Abigal Breslin) and together the group team up to kick some Zombie Butt.

Among The highlights are a detour to Bill Murrays Elaborate Mansion and a thrill-a-minute finale that takes place in none other than (DRUMROLL PLEASE) An Amusement Park. This film is FULL of fun little bits that just grab your attention and won't let it go.

Alas, as with every film, this one has a few downfalls. Even Though Abigal Breslin was kind of cute she added ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to the story and may as well have been replaced by a soft Downey Pillow. Another one of the problems with the film is that it, as fun as it was, it could have been a TON more fun. there were plenty opportunites for more mayhem and kick-assedness, but they can't fit it all into the time-slot.

Overall Zombieland is a fun, fast-paced detour into a world overrun bt zombies that is quite unlike any other previous incarnation that we've seen before. I wouldn't say run to your local Cinema to see this film right away (As fun as the film is, unfortunately it is ultimately forgettable) but I WOULD say that you should see it before it leaves theatres beacuse it is rare that a film pretty much gives you what you wanted to see + a little bit more.

Zombieland is pretty much as perfect as it can be.


Till Next time this is Springs, signing off from Zombieland.
