You know how in the early 2000's after 9/11 people were terrified that the Middle East was going to send nukes our way? Well imagine that went on for 20 years and replace the Middle East with Russia. That's what the real Cold War was.
I could not care less about America getting Nuked to pieces.

If a man wants to feed me shit, I don't care if he delivers it on a silver platter carried on the back of a unicorn named Victor, I'm still not eating it. In other words, I think I'll give this a miss.

lol so far Zombieland sounds like the live action version of L4D, it's even got 4 people on a poster looking angry just like at the start of a campaign.
You saw the watchtower that they pushed zombies off that's almost the spit of the one in the trainyard on L4D? :)

Just got back from District 9 (Fab! Thank you Bob) and wanted to check out the reviews. Good to hear it's as good as it looks.

Interestingly enough, there's a Australian film that takes this same premise (Humans kicking Zombies in because they're slow and dumb) for the first half, but in the second it goes all serious and you just want to walk out there and then.

Zombies: If you want them comical, set up the comedy. If you want them dramatic, set up the drama. Don't chop and change all the time unless you're Simon Pegg. (Even Romero (WANW) didn't do comedy that well)

But is it better than Shaun of the Dead?
Not gonna happen.

Bob... I gotta say... this has to be the best video quality edition of all the movie reviews you have done this far. Finally, no lapse to fuzzy compression bullshit everytime it changes images. You finally got it down, way to go.

This might interest me to go watch Zombieland. After all, I like Dawn of the Dead (2004), 28 days later and even Shaun of the Dead (the best zombie comedy).

Wait...you mean...Zombieland...was good?

I cannot believe this. I guess the delivery must be amazing. I guess I'll check it out.

I disagree with your idea for why people like zombies. I think it's that there's a strange desire for simplicity that humans have that makes them want to do nothing but try to survive (basically the same reason people like desert islands). The big difference is that in a zombie apocalypse there are also hordes of weak enemies to kill at your leisure. Also, there's another weird emotion that people (I at least have it) have when they're in a safe position killing waves of enemies. The feeling of safety with a slight challenge is added to the general feeling of a zombie apocalypse.
OT: I'll ask my friends if it was good before I see it, but you've convinced me to look into it more.

good review, couldn't've said it better myself. I will add that it pays off to stick around to the end of the credits

Dude, this movie was beyond expectations. It's not the stupid zombie killer movie the commmercials make it out to be. I saw this movie on Tuesday as part of special sneak peek for us University students. I have to agree completely with MovieBob- The delivery is excellent. Absolutely worth seeing. It just does everything the right way.

It totally made me wanna play L4D when I got out.

Nice tip of the hat to Falling Down and Natural Born Killers, both good recommendations during slow times if you haven't seem them.

Let me guess, your one of those 15 year-old mall-goths right?

I also ask myself why do I love zombies so much after seeing them hundreds of times over in other movies/video games. But who cares, I have a movie to watch.
