marinessI'm not exactly big on zombie movies. That may, actually, be one of the biggest understatements I've ever made on this blog. I just don't get the point of zombies, you know? Ghosts, I get. Vampires, I get. Zombies are just, well, mindless lumbering cannibals. I guess it would be kinda horrifying to be turned into one, but given that you're already dead and not thinking much, would it matter that much? I'm thinking not. And in general, I gotta say, I find them kinda boring.
So what was I doing at Zombieland?
Kinda having fun, actually.
Zombieland is mostly about mayhem and shooting things up and mayhem and killing zombies and more mayhem. It's not a great movie, and a major plot flaw in the middle doesn't really help, but it's saved by Woody Harrelson's glee in shooting up zombies and by Abigail Breslin's deadpan teenager, a couple of musical jokes, and a hilarious scene in L.A. that I won't spoil. Also, lots of zombies. Quite fulfilling my need to see any more zombies for years.
Didn't manage to make zombies my thing, though.
