How To Survive A Zombie Movie

While everybody's gone ape shit over vampires, we set our sights towards Hollywood's other favorite whipping boy, zombies!

It's Sunday night, and while I should be doing some serious writing for this super rush project, I found myself laughing my guts out in Zombieland. Yes, you read that right: laughing! A cross between 28 Days Later (the Energizer Bunny zombie part) and Scream (the self-conscious irony part), Zombieland finds the nerdy Columbus on a road trip with an inconsolable redneck (Woody Harrelson, who's in great shape by the way) and two con-girls (including the adorable Abigail Breslin).

In between the killings, Columbus gives us the rules on how to survive a zombie movie (Do the double tap, don't be a hero); in the same tradition as Randy Meeks' rules on how to survive a horror movie in Scream (Don't have sex, don't say, "I'll be right back"). And here's a bonus: Bill Murray makes a hilarious cameo appearance. It's so unexpected that you're not exactly sure whether the director is just playing with you, which of course he is. Mwahahaha

Now, somebody please get me a Twinkie!
