Zombieland

Impressions before seeing it
First off, let me state that I'm not really a zombie fan. Probably because I'm not really a horror fan either. That being said, a trailer with zombies being slaughtered in an amusement park had me convinced that this could be nothing but fun.

How was it?
Another awesome opening credits sequence: people running from zombies in slow motion as they bump and nudge the actual letters in the credits into jumbles. We also get "active" titles throughout the film as our main character lists his rules for killing/surviving zombies. But, okay, the biggest attraction here is all of the funny and wild ways our characters kill the zombies (so much so that they have a "zombie kill of the week" mention a couple of times). So of course it is highly entertaining and there are some good jokes and an awesome cameo by Bill Murray. My only problem was Jesse Eisenberg. I'm probably just nitpicking, but even though this guy has starred in some great movies he has always bothered me because the way he talks makes him sound pretentious. All the time. If you made a movie where all of his characters met each other I probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference between them. I'm not saying he's a bad actor, but I do think his range is limited and I probably would have liked this movie just a little more if they'd had someone else starring and narrating.

Recommendation
Watch it if you love zombies, or violence, or violent zombies, or violence against zombies.
