Ah, Zombieland. For the two of you don’t know, I love me some zombies.

That being said, when a friend of mine handed me free tickets to TWO preview showings, I nearly peed myself.

So last week, my lady friend and I journeyed to the nearby metropolis to enjoy the cinematic marvel of a brand new undead story.

Spoilers in green, my little goblinites.

Zombieland isn’t actually a traditional zombie movie. No, more than that, it’s a coming-of-age teen romance that happens to include zombies as a central theme.

The movie has many central themes, my favorite of which is ‘The Rules.’ The main man of the film, referred to as Columbus (nicknamed after the city, his hometown, as are all the other characters), has a simple set of rules that help him to survive. These range from ‘beware of bathrooms,’ to ‘cardio,’ to his newest rule, #32 (if memory serves) which is ‘enjoy the little things.’

Now, as a point of criticism, the newest advertisement run also sports rule #48, ‘hygiene.’ But Columbus only writes down one new rule, and it’s no were close to #48.

As another small point of amazing, Bill Murray is actually in the movie, and is simply amazing. They even get high and pretend they’re the Ghostbusters.

So, as you can see, I loved this movie. It’s straightforward and to the point, even if a tad anti-climactic. See it. Love it. Obey the rules and survive.

Glitchy Goblin gives Zombieland a 9 out of 10
