Zombieland

Zombieland

I watched this movie last night and was surprised how good it was. Going into the movie theater, I knew that this film was right up my alley, and the trailers looked very good, but I wasn't prepared for the laughs I received. You must understand that this movie isn't a horror flick. It is a comedy, much like Shaun of the Dead, with a few scary parts including an infected Amber Heard. The story focuses primarily on the male character known only as "Columbus" (Jesse Eisenberg), because he's from Columbus, Ohio. He narrates a lot of the movie from his point of view. He states that he has only survived in "Zombieland" because he has stayed within a strict set of rules he has created. Rule #1 - Cardio. Naturally, he says, the fat ones got eaten first. Rule #2 - Double Tap. That one extra shot to the head can, and will, save your life. He has other rules such as to check the back seat of a car, stay away from bathrooms, limber up in preparation to run, don't be a hero, know your way out, and he adds a new one - enjoy the little things (which is what the movie mostly seems to be about)- after meeting "Tallahassee" (Woody Harrelson), a renown zombie killer with a dark, yet funny, sense of humor when it comes to zombies. Columbus states that when Tallahasse kills zombies, he sets the bar of "not to be f***** with." It soon becomes clear to Columbus that Tallahassee's only objective is to find the world's last Twinkie, something that Columbus can only guess is a way for Tallahassee to remember a time before the outbreak. They run into two girls, "Wichita" (Emma Stone) and "Little Rock" (Abigail Breslin), who con them several times, taking their supplies and transportation. The four survivors soon create a bond, however, and realize what they're surviving for... the little things. Final word - this is a great "zomedy" and definitely delivers the laughs. Highly recommended for Rated R audiences. I'll definitely be buying this movie when it comes out on DVD. Here are some links:

The Zed Word

Zombies. There are many movies and games about them, and there are people who would honestly love it if there was an actual outbreak. If an actual zombie apocalypse ever occurred, what would be the best way to survive? What would be the top ten things one would need? I've created a list here displaying what I think would be the most essential:

1. M1 Carbine OR M14 (for range, single-fire conserves ammo)
2. Pistol grip 12 Gauge shotgun (for close-quarters)
3. AK-47 (why not have the greatest, most reliable weapon ever created?)
4. .357 Magnum OR Glock 21 .45 (just in case)
5. Machete (never runs out of ammo, also useful for other things)
6. Satellite phone (communicate with other survivors, if any)
7. Canned foods or MREs (must have sustenance)
8. Water (must be hydrated)
9. Pair of binoculars or spotting scope
10. Group of about 3 other survivors

Of course, there are many more things that could be equally vital to one's survival, such as extra ammo, an attack helicopter, a tank, and a pair the size of watermelons and made of adamantium.

Movies of note on the subject include: 28 Days Later (2002), Dawn of the Dead (2004), I Am Legend (2007), 28 Weeks Later (2007), and Day of the Dead (2008). They're good movies not only in the zombie researcher side, but also from the point of view of a movie enthusiast. Also, Shaun of the Dead (2004) is a great comedy with zombies. The new Zombieland (2009) also looks promising.

For fellow zombie buffs out there, don't lose hope. The day might come when you wake up as usual and look outside your bedroom window to find people running from each other, cars crashing, and dark smoke plumes billowing in the distance. Whatever happens, remember: aim for the head.
