ZOMBIELAND

ZOMBIELAND Starring Woody Harrelson Jesse Eisenberg Abigail Breslin

Emma Stone  Directed By Ruben Fleischer Rated R running time 85 minutes

An unknown "something" has taken over earth, making the dead come back to life, turning the planet into zombies.  A nerdy, young survivor named Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg) with shotgun in hand, is on his way to visit his parents in Columbus, Ohio, in the middle of the highway he meets another survivor - Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson), a sadistic, funny, crazy cool looney, who loves to sadistically kill zombies in brutal ways.  Tallahasse's mission is to find his holy grail - a "TWINKIE".  On their way across the state, they stop at a supermarket, Tallahasse wants his Twinkie.  After battling three obese zombies, Tallahassee and Columbus meet crafty sisters Wichita (Emma Stone) and Little Rock (Abigail Breslin).

The sisters mission is to make it to a Los Angeles amusement park (rumor has it that is zombie free).  The four journey to Los Angeles in a Hummer, weapons aboard to find the zombie free amusement park (film title ZOMBIELAND).  Columbus starts having feelings for Wichita and she feels the same way for him.  On the way to the amusement park, they want to rest, where they head to Beverly Hills with a star map in hand, to find a pretty home to lay low.  Unknowingly, they enter the home of Bill Murray (a cameo performance), where he is dressed like a zombie, Tallahassee is a big fan of Bill Murray, and he is in shock, that he is standing next to his idol.  Something shady happens in Bill Murray's home (I DONT WANT TO SPOIL IT) and is hilarious and kooky.

Though funny, the climatic ending is an edge of your seat ride, hairpuller, with an ultimate battle between the survivors and the zombies at ZOMBIELAND...  A great cast - Woody Harrelson and Jesse Eisenberg are funny as hell.  An amazing hilarious script by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick. First time director Ruben Fleischer takes us to a fun, action packed, uproarious, apocalyptical zombie on earth hell ride. Watching Zombieland is like playing a zombie video game (Left for the Dead, Fallout 3, Resident Evil series) on the big screen...  What Dawn of the Dead did for malls, Zombieland does for Amusement Parks.   The film had a budget of $23 million, and it looked like a 100 million dollar budget.  The film was Number One in America making $25 million dollars. 

  ZOMBIELAND is a classic  -  FOUR STARS
