Zombieland

This weekend, J and I saw a movie. But not just any movie, we saw what may possibly be the best movie that has come out this year: Zombieland. Zombieland is the perfect blend of horror, gore, and comedy. The acting was incredible, the gore was disgusting, and the comedy was hilarious!
The movie starts with a montage of zombies chasing after people and eating them. It is incredibly disgusting but also incredibly hilarious. I was laughing so hard and it was only three or four minutes in. Then we are introduced to the main character whose name we don't know. We see him running from zombies and he lists his rules for surviving zombieland. Then, he runs in to Tallahassee, played by Woody Harrelson. Tallahassee is a zombie-fighting machine. Every zombie he meets he kills in brutal, yet hilarious ways.
Speaking of Woody Harrelson, the acting in this movie was incredible. Woody Harrelson was the perfect choice to play the zombie-killing maniac. His crazy smile and wacky attitude fit the role of Tallahassee perfectly. And Abigail Breslin was the perfect pick for the sweet con-artist Little Rock who helps her big sister con the men out of their car and guns.
The acting was complimented by the gory images of zombies eating people and the somewhat scary images of zombies chasing people. But this movie was in no way scary, the comedy really outweighed the scariness and gore. However, there was one scene with a zombie clown that left me cringing.
I would definitely recommend this movie for anybody who wants a good laugh. This movie is, I think, the best movie that has come out this year and I can't wait to go see it again.
