LOL! Okay, I guess I really need to see more zombie movies to get a better perspective.

Saw it last night and LOVED it. Absolutely hilarious and ridiculous at the same time. Nothing like gratuitous violence and zombie-head splatter.

Definitely a Blu-ray purchase when it comes out. Nothing like high def blood splatter.

The last movie I was excited to see based on the great reviews was District 9 - sadly it disappointed on many levels. So, I didn't set my hopes too high for Zland and it's positive reviews.

I'm happy to say that it totally lived up to the hype. I love comedy-horror and this was just what the doctor ordered for me in my currently overworked/underpaid state. Everyone laughed, and then clapped when it was over, and I left smiling. Total opposite of crappy D9.

Wife and I saw it today. Absolutely loved it. Blew Shaun of the Dead out the water imo. Reminded of the xbox game 'Dead Rising'.

I saw it tonight, I walked out after 15 minutes, thought it was utterly horrible and not funny at all.

Just Saw it last Night..Totally worth the trip Bill Murray was Awesome and I thought it was one of woody's best movies for the last few years by far. Anyone else think the starring kid could play Michael Cera's brother? I'll buy this one for sure.

"dawn of the dead" [2004] much under-rated, killer first five minutes, then goes into lull, but gets back on track afterwhile. Such good zombiemovie!

-Two main kinds of feminists; those that see males purely from an economic perspective, and those that think all men are stupid and redundant-usually as result of direct hereditary experience ie., raised from distinctly alphamale/capitalist 'greed is good' backgrounds or its direct apposite, that of a nature inclined toward being both pathetic and neutered. Both types suffer from the unfortunate fate of having little if any real capacity for creative thought or even common logic.

I thought it started off really well, and had funny bits throughout, but the stupidity of the characters (especially the older sister) had me screaming at the screen. My son had just seen Ghostbusters for the first time a few days prior, so he loved the Bill Murray scenes.
