98.1 CHFI

Two men have found a way to survive a world overrun by zombies. Columbus is a big wuss -- but when you're afraid of being eaten by zombies, fear can keep you alive. Tallahassee is an AK-totin', zombie-slayin' badass whose single determination is to get the last Twinkie on earth. As they join forces with Wichita and Little Rock, who have also found unique ways to survive the zombie mayhem, they will have to determine which is worse: relying on each other or succumbing to the zombies.

Zombieland Review by Jay Kennedy, the web guy

Zombieland is a riotous, gruesome, hysterical and fun movie. As a matter of fact I should clear my voice (if I could through the written word) to announce, Zombieland is my favourite movie of 2009, so far!

A creative blend of old school horror matching wits with America’s new comedic style makes Zombieland a tour de force that frankly, is one of the best pieced together pictures I’ve seen of the 2000s. Zombies are a lot of fun to make fun of. They’re dangerous, sure, but really, they’ve got a weakness that can be exploited. A love tap on the noggin, and slam – they’re out cold! Britain’s recent contemporary hit, Shaun of the Dead, was the first to exploit zombies in a fun new light. Then there was Fido that flew under the radar. And now Zombieland. Not just a horror/comedy, but also a coming of age story with the reputable new talent, Jesse Eisenberg.

You may think to yourself, I’ve seen this kid before, and you’d be right! The last feature he starred in was Adventureland next to Twilight’s Kristen Stewart. In this one, he doesn’t disappoint either. He stars as the neurotic young man who really didn’t have a life before the zombification of the world, and he still kinda doesn’t. And when his “rules” get in the way, Woody Harrelson is there to set him straight!

Woody Harrelson plays the too cool, movie good guy, but because it’s a comedy, he’s more like Simon Pegg than Bruce Willis. Spinning with two Uzis, knocking out zombies – hilarious (and very Hot Fuzz-ish)! But it works in every way! What to expect: It’s a Zombie film, so lots of gore, vulgar language and jumpy scary scenes. The opening credits set the tone for the entire film as we see a zombie exotic dancer chasing down a business man. Awesome! But this film is rated R, and with the content you should respect the rating.

It’s a lot of fun, so you’re not going to have bad dreams after seeing it! In short, this movie has everything you would expect from a zombie picture, and then on top of that, a solid story. The moral of which you’ll just have to check out for yourself, but you honestly can’t go wrong with this flick!
