Title: ZombieLand
Genre: Horror, Action, Adventure, Comedy
MPAA Rating: Rated R for horror violence/gore and language.
Synopsis: The entire world is hit with an apocalyptic infection that turns people into zombies once they have been bitten by an infected zombie. Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg) is a young geek who has a lot of phobias about almost everything from clowns, to bathrooms, to checking the back seat of cars. Being alone and scared of the outside world has kept him alive. His new fear is being eaten by zombies. To survive, Columbus has begun making a long list of rules to survive. Each time he gives you one of his rules, you see an example of his rule in action. Columbus explains to the audience in a background voice such as wearing your seat-belt, or the double-tap rule after you shoot a zombie make sure he is dead by shooting him in the head again. Trust me; this is not a wasted shot. The number 1 rule is to be sure that you can outrun the zombies, because the overweight and slow people were caught first by the zombies. He decides to go home to Columbus to see if his parents are still alive. Along the highway, he meets Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson) a redneck zombie killer who loves Twinkies and misses his puppy Buck. They team up and head for Tallahassee. On the way they meet and join forces with two girls, Wichita (Emma Stone) and Little Rock (Abagail Breslin). They may be the last surviving people on earth, and they must rely on each other to survive. Douglas Young (the-movie-guy)

Wow can't believe there's not a review for this movie yet up here.

I went and saw this on Thursday, it is a fun adventure comedy for adults.  I really did enjoy it, and laughed a lot.  They had a lot of fun making this movie.  I do recommend it.

Yeah, I've fallen behind on my reviews. :p

Anyway, all I can really say is... I love this movie!!! Its perhaps my favorite of the year. When I saw the trailer for it the first time, I knew this was something I HAD to go see. Horror comedies when done right work really, really well. This one definitely works amazingly. It's about a 50/50 split with horror and comedy. That's very hard to come by, and this one pleasantly shows that it's capable of being done.

This is definitely something I can't wait to get on DVD. And if you love it half as much as I do, check out Shaun of the Dead, the other great horror comedy!

Phoenix was meant to represent the fire and passion that creates life. I choose to bear the name -- and do so proudly -- in order to set things right.
