Columbus wasn’t kidding when he said Zombieland is moist, but we enjoyed the hell out of Ruben Fleischer’s debut ride! Between Jesse Eisenberg’s coy hero and Woody Harrelson’s crass maverick, we got our fill of every kind of Zombie kill you can imagine. And that’s not even considering the monster awesome cameo in the middle. But what did YOU think of your adventure through Zombieland?
Woody Harrelson and Jesse Eisenberg look like they make an incredible comedic duo in Ruben Fleischer’s directorial debut, Zombieland, but there’s a delicate balance to ride between that comedy and the horror elements that makes Zombie movies really knock it out of the park. We’re both easily as excited about this one as we were about any summer movies that came our way, whether that’s because Matt loves him some Sam Raimi-style horror/comedy or because Nat has an abnormally active imagination when it comes to surviving a Zombie pandemic, you can bet we’ll be inline for the midnight screening!
We managed to check out Drag Me To Hell back at SXSW in March, and we LOVED it. Watching Sam Raimi return to the genre that he started in was magnificent, with all the jumps and laughs and wit that you’d expect from a classic Raimi horror film. Since we’ve already seen this one, for a change this episode will bring you a review along with exclusive scenes from the movie and interviews behind-the-scenes of Drag Me To Hell!
By popular demand, we went ahead and reviewed JJ’s new Star Trek Trailer… we’re not planning to make a habit of reviewing trailers, but it just so happens that the most revered graphic novel in history AND the most revered sci-fi franchise in history are BOTH coming to the silver screen in ways we never thought possible, and we simply must bow to powers far greater than our own. Having said that, I’m sure what Matt says as a two-decade-strong-yet-highly-critical-Trekkie will sit just as well with some as it won’t with others… while Nat just tries to look forward to a Karl Urban/Zachary Quinto film!
