Time to nut up or shut up!

"Zombieland," a movie directed by Ruben Fleischer, seemed very entertaining and funny when I saw its trailer. I decided, heck, why don't I give it a try? Well, all I have to say is that this is, by and large, one of, if not, the best movie I've seen all year. It was simply laugh-out-loud funny with great action and suspense. The opening scene starts off with the White House on fire and a zombie staring down at the camera, tender flesh dripping from its mouth. The story itself is pretty straightforward: almost everyone in the world has turned into mindless zombies and it tells how the handful of survivors remain alive in Zombieland. The performances were genuinely quite funny from Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone and Abigail Breslin as Columbus, Wichita and Little Rock (not real names, just the names of the cities the character is headed to). But while these performances are great, by far the best of the bunch is Woody Harrelson as the twinky-lovin', zombie-hatin' Tallahassee who's "in the ass-kickin' business." Throughout the film, he kills zombies in brutal yet funny forms, such as pushing Colombus' shotgun away and instead pulling out gardening pliers and walking up to a hugely overweight zombie in a grocery store while saying, "I'm just gonna take a l'il bit off the top." The next shot has the pliers being tossed aside with blood dripping form it--you do the math. Overall, this movie is well-paced, smart, extremely humorous and genuinely entertaining, and you'd be an idiot if you refused to see this cult ****c.

Long-story short: This is a great action-comedy flick with funny and memorable scenes in it--go see it NOW!
