We have heard it all before. A global plague. Everyone is turned into a flesh eating zombie. A small band of humans crisscross the countryside looking for the proverbial Valhalla, where humans can live free and in relative safety from the fallen world.
Zombieland is not as boring as Stephen King's book, the Stand, but it is not as suspenseful as 28 Days Later. I will say that its a pretty entertaining movie if you have 2 hours to kill and have nothing to do. In walks Woody Harrelson and three unknowns (at least to me) and throw in a cameo appearance by Bill Murray and, of course, hundreds and hundreds of zombies out to eat them all - and you've got the makings of a decent movie.
There is romance, the sadness of loss as Woody cries over his lost son, an amusement park somewhere in California and, best of all, Twinkes. No zombie movie would be without a good, old fashioned, Twinkie obsession.
So there you have it. If you are bored, just been kicked out of the house by your girlfriend, or want to waste time at work and abuse your company's network access, this is the movie to watch. I won't say its one of the great, epic, movies of the 21st century, but it will have you screaming, "Get out of there before they eat you! Run! Run!" Well, it had me yelling that. But I happen to like zombie movies. Some of them anyway.
