Thanks to Cathaus' kind birthday gift, I went to see Zombieland. Zombieland was everything I want in a zombie film except a little eye candy. It's very, very violent, so don't go if you aren't up for that. The music was right up my ally. They got Metallica to let them use a song. Dude! casting was excellent. This is clearly the role Woody haralson has been practicing for for years. The Michael Cera clone playing Columbus managed to be significantly less annoying than Mr. Cera himself would have been, and was a good foil for the stronger personalities around him. The young lady playing Wichita managed to sell the role despite looking disturbingly like a Bratz doll. I was pleased by the unsentimental approach to children, which so many other action/horrors fall into. It's a very different feel to Shaun of the Dead movie wise, but is a worthy addition to the humor/zombie subgenre, functioning successfully both as a zombie movie and a comedy.
