Zombieland: Review

Interesting...

is the first word that comes to mind when describing Ruben Fleischer's Zombieland.

This film had amazing effects and make-up. This seemed to be the most interesting characteristic of this film alongside it's, at time, funnies and the awesome cameo by Bill Murray, which was HA-larious. Definitely a LOL moment in the theatre.

Pros- Funny, decent cast, brilliant make-up artist, epic cameo, and BLOOD AND GUTS GALORE!!

Cons- Cliche plot, corny dialogue, and it seemed like Ruben was trying to hard to coin a new catch phrase "it's time to nut up or shut up."

i give this film 3 out of 5 stars because it was funny but...

Where The Wild Things Are: Review.

Wow!

is the first word that comes to mind when trying to describe Spike Jonze's newest film, Where The Wild Things Are.

This very short children's book written by Maurice Sendak some how was manifested into a 94 minute masterpiece by Jonze and still managed to capture the aesthetics and moral purpose of Sendak's short story.

Pros- It's artistry was tremendous and it captivated me from start to finish.

Cons- The voices of the "wild things" were a bit childish and weird (it is supposedly a children's movie). They didn't fit with the artistic feel of the film, i kind of wanted them to be a little more Johnny Depp like.

Rating- 4 out of 5 stars because it was a fantastic film but it wasn't the best of the best.
