Zombieland!

I've finally watched something released in the past year.  Zombieland is, plain and simply, a fun movie.  A guilty pleasure.  After all, what red-blooded American male hasn't dreamed he could just go out and blast zombies?  Well that's exactly what Woody Harrelson gets to do in this rollicking send-up of zombie flicks.  Zombies get killed, by the scores, in every way imaginable: with guns, knives, hedge clippers, toilet tank lids, dropped pianos.....you get the gist.  Woody (as Tallahassee) teams up with three young people also on the run from the undead and they cross the country looking for a place that's zombie-free.  Along the way they run into Bill Murray (as himself) for a memorable scene in Bill's house.  The film climaxes at an amusement park in California with an unbelievable pileup of zombie bodies before our heroes ride off into the sunset together.

A big thumbs up for unrepentant violent humor and sight gags where (almost) always the bad guys die.
