 DVD PICK OF THE WEEK  | ||||||
ZOMBIELAND   Read this statement and tell me this does not get you excited and make you want to do back flips. Metallica's "For Whom The Bell Tolls" set to slow-motion blood filled zombie deaths. Let it sit for just one more second. Ok, now leave your computer and go watch this movie immediately.As of today's date, Zombieland is the most fun I have had in theaters in 2009. Let me just go ahead and get all of the adjectives out of the way. This is one of the most bad-ass, scream at the top your lungs, over-the-top, tongue-in-cheek, ultra-violent and exhilarating movies I have seen in a long time. The fact that this movie is coming out via writers and directors who are basically no-names in the business, is just beyond me. This is Ruben Fleischer's major directorial debut and the writers, Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, have worked on other films but this is their first major release. If I didn't look that up, I would have guessed this was written by a very big name writer and directed by Edgar Wright. Speaking of Wright, we all know him for his classic zombie-spoof flick Shaun of the Dead. Wright was able to combine a spoof movie with an original and catchy screenplay. It was obvious that he was spoofing old classic zombie flicks but he was able to still tell a great story around it. Now, if I were to compare Zombieland to Shaun of the Dead, I would honestly go with Zombieland. Being a huge fan of Shaun, that pains me to say, considering how similar the films are and the fact that Shaun came first. Well, Reese and Wernick must have learned a lot from that movie because they just came out with a completely new flick which took zombie films to the extreme. | ||||||
 MOVIE PEOPLE SLEEP ON | ||||||
TRUE ROMANCE (1993) Hands down my favorite film of all time! This film was written by Quentin Tarantino and directed by Tony Scott (Man on Fire, Enemy of the State). The scene that takes place between Christopher Walken and Dennis Hopper is a masterpiece. The film also stars Gary Oldman, Christian Slater, Patricia Arquette, Brad Pitt, James Gandolfini, Samuel L. Jackson, Chris Penn, Tom Sizemore and Michael Rappaport. |
