Oh Hai, Amber Heard. Um, yeah… Just wanted to say, after watching Zombieland for the second time within less than a week, that I think we should have zombie sex together. For reals. It’s not necrophilia if they can still move. Like, that whole scene with the snarlin’ and the pukin’ and the rottin’ flesh chasing skinny Nancy-boys around their apartment: it kinda worked for me. Just saying, I’d let you bite me.

I’m a little late to the game on this one, but I just got back from Zombieland and I can honestly say that it is already in my top 3 films of the year. This movie was the most fun that I’ve had at the cinema since that one time where I stole the giant head of Al Pacino and took a bunch of pictures with it. Although, that probably shouldn’t count because the movie was Mirrors which just put me in the mood for some petty vandalism.
ANYWAY! I really really liked this film. Not to just spray constant praise on this film but I really have nothing bad to say about it. Sure there is a lot that it could have gone into with the story and characterization but it honestly didn’t have to. The characters were lovable enough and the story did what it had to in order to progress further into more scenes of bad-assery and gore-filled slap-stick. The film was everything that it was supposed to be and it did a great job at it.
Plus it was an excuse to see Emma Stone, so yeah, there is that too.

![Modern Murder Movie Marathon:
Got swine flu, beat it, watched a lot of movies while going John McClane on its ass. The third film I watched was:
[REC] (2007)
Two words: Fuck! Yes! This movie has everything I wanted in a horror and more. This film is probably the only other player in the POV/Zombie genre, (as the only other I can think of is Diary of the Dead) but so far it’s the best, and will probably stay the best as all other horror/action films from a first-person POV will have this to live up to.
It utilized the POV of the News camera in a manner that was both effective for the confusion of the film’s story without coming across as annoying. The narrow line of sight helped to create an atmosphere and a pace that’s tight enough to hinder breathing.
As a zombie film I find it gives the best use of ‘fast-zombies’ as the victims seem to have suffered some horrific chemical imbalance and it seems plausible that people exhibiting such extreme aggression would also have adrenaline rushes the equivalent to 10 crack heads. The only thing that I find takes away from the whole product is that REC , as a film, feels it has to explain itself at the end. I don’t care for zombie movie logic. It’s cool if Day of The Dead wants to socialize them, but by and large zombies are better left unexplained for fear that it’ll get really stupid. REC has already achieved its goal of being a film that is both shocking and frightening, and there is a difference. It doesn’t need to explain anything, I think it’s fine the way it was (and is).
If you saw the American version of this, Quarantine, I wouldn’t recommend you see this because the initial impact will be lost. I have not seen Quarantine but I assume it’s worse. It has Jennifer Carpenter. Have you seen Dexter? She is like the worst one on that show. For someone who spews out ‘fuck’ every second word she always sounds forced when trying to display any emotion. Why would you see a film with that woman in it? You had a choice and you picked the wrong one. Shame on you. May missing out on a fucking fantastic film be your punishment for such a stupid move.](http://16.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_krl8uzSS9A1qz9a1do1_500.jpg)
