Fedora wearing Biggins review's Zombieland

Rule 32: enjoy the little things. Zombie land was fun, violent and freaking hilarious. Starring woody Harrelson as the kick-ass zombie slaying joker, who is funny all the way through the film but towards the end he does gain some emotional depth and his twinke addiction will have you in hysterics. Jesse Isenberg plays the average shy teenager with no social life to speak of until the zombie apocalypse that is. With his rather predictable love interest being played by the talented not to mention gorgeous Emma Stone and Abigail Breslin comes along for the ride too.

I love zombie movies theres something very compelling about the idea of zombies taking over the world and man kind having to fight to win the earth back. This film was a perfect zombie comedy. It centers around the four main cast trying to get to a theme park in LA and while that seems like a crazy idea (which it is) the journey to get there is to put it lightly epic! It was a somewhat predictable film it was a interesting film with an amazing opening title sequence. The music suited the theme of the film just fine but it was nothing that noticeable.

The film also has a surprise non zombie guest pop up half way through ( i won't ruin it for you though don't worry) providing hilarious results. The film is also filled with funny flash-backs my favorite being Columbus's (Jesse Isenberg) one. While this film isn't quite up to the standards of Shaun of the dead it is a great thrill ride comedy with many cool zombie killing methods that just make you laugh purely because they are so unexpected. A must see film 4/5.

Nut up or shut up.

The Rocker reviewed

I'm not bitter but I've seen better films. You've seen School of Rock, of course you have, who hasn't? If you enjoyed that film you will enjoy The Rocker. This film is a fun heart warming story (not unlike school of rock) however while i enjoyed this film it is not one I would watch more than a few times. The Rocker really is your average underdog film it may as well have followed a template, its simply a guy who gets kicked out of a band joins a new band and makes it big. It stars Rainn Wilson, Teddy Geiger, Josh Gad(who i like cause he's wearing a fedora in the picture to the right) and the oh-so-good-looking Emma stone.

I will not buy this film on DVD however I have recently purchased the soundtrack. This film is not better than school of rock, yes it is a bit of a rip-off and Rainn Wilson is no where near as funny as Jack Black but The Rocker has better sounding music. I like Jack Black as a musician ( Tenacious D being one of my Favorite bands) but he was out matched by Teddy Geiger. Teddy Geiger is an outstanding musician and "I'm not bitter" is a masterpiece. Normally I'm not too bothered withe the music of a film but this film would not have been even half as good without the music. The acting unfortunately was not so good Rainn Wilson failed to truly pull off the loser rocker stuck in the 80's and Teddy Geiger is a much better musician than actor. The strongest actor (or actress if you want to be technical) in this movie was the gorgeous Emma Stone, who was the only actor who pulled off a believable performance.

This film was very predictable and simple but it is worth watching at least once. The rocker is a fun movie, it doesn't have much effect on your life and it won't make you cry from laughing. It is however worth watching, the rocker is just a popcorn movie. I guarantee it will be years before you see a film as mediocre as The Rocker.


NB

I know this film came out ages ago but I get films from Lovefilm (the British version of Netflix) and when I get a film I will review it . Tomorrow's film Role models come back tomorrow for that review.
