Zombieland

Not a bad movie, and the Bill Murrey cameo is excellent ( yes i did just ruin the surprise), but the truth is, that Jesse Eisenburg is a poor mans Michael Cera. The problem is that the review I had heard was from my movie Guru Mark Kermode. He does get it badly wrong sometimes e.g. high school musical 3,( Never saw it, but it is just not possible that it is anything above turgid shite), but all in all, his word is nigh on gospel. Mark gave it a glowing review as did the reviewers the week before as i recall, citing that it was a movie about relationships that just happened to have zombies in it. With my expectations so high, sadly the film just did not really live ( yes its a slight pun for a zombie movie) up to them. Had i not heard any review then the film might have fared better, but then again, i doubt i would have gone to see it. The vicissitudes of life.

The trailers to the movie - usually my favorite part- were terrible. As Maya often points out, the trailers are usually so good, that you kind of feel disappointed that your not going to watch that particular movie and instead your going to watch some other crappy film. This time however we got the Megan Fox movie and something titled The Vampires Assistant. Need i say more?
