Movie Review : Zombieland

It's been a while since I did any movie or music review, but I just want to share this interesting movie that I've just watched. The title is ZOMBIELAND, released in October 2009.

The story is set in America, where it has now become Zombieland. Almost all people have become a zombie, and there are only a few survivors left. The main character is a nerdy, Michael Cera-ish boy called Columbus (couldn't quite catch his real name). He's one of the few survivors of the zombie apocalypse, and he is on his way to Columbus, Ohio, to see if his parents are still alive. Along the way, he met Tallahase, Wichita, and Little Rock. Each of them have a different objective, but somehow they stick together because they are the only survivors left. For full story, click here.

I LOVE THIS MOVIE!! It is sooo wrong in so many levels, but yet it is entertaining. It has enough blood and gory scenes to make you wanna vomit (warning : do not eat while watching this movie :P), and yet it is a comedy. It's like the Hollywood version of Shaun of the Dead, which I also love.


I must admit it's not everybody's cup of tea, but if you like zombie movies AND comedy, why not combine them together? It's like an episode of Friends where Rachel made a traditional English trifle, but somehow she mixed up the recipes, and ended up putting beef in it. The Joey said "Beef? GOOD! Custard? GOOD!". 

Overall, I give this movie 4 out of 5 stars (I never give perfect scores :P)
