I liked Zombieland and the Crazies. Zombieland was closer to being 'a classic' whereas Crazies was just an enjoyable waste of a couple of hours, but sometimes that's all you need.

Thanks, I'll look into it. I expected Zombieland to be much worse than it actually was.

I watched KICK ASS just because of what I read here. That movie is funny as hell.

So I watched Hot Tub Time Machine last weekend, and She's Out of My League a few days before. I thought both were pretty good, but laughed a lot harder at the 'funny parts' in She's Out of My League. I found Hot Tub Time Machine to be more endearing than anything, even though I don't really remember most of the 80's.

Zombieland was freakin' hilarious! Even my wife was laughing at Woody's lines. He had some great quotes.

I want to see The Crazies still, since I'm a huge Romero fan, which makes me a little hesitant though...

Agreed. Bill Murray's part in the movie was hillarious too!

I watched The Square last night. It is a Kiwi film. It was a good movie, but the effect of what I like to call Catastrophic Drama was greatly reduced after having already seen movies like House of Sand and Fog, Requiem For a Dream, Amores Perros, etc. If you need constant action to keep you focused, this is not the movie for you.


Discussion if you've seen it:

It is basically a movie where adults continuously make one terrible decision after another, further digging themselves into a hole that eventually becomes an inescapable abyss. It has guns, betrayal, car chases, etc, but little to no action.
I think I was irritated at how there is almost never any hope for anyone in the film to rectify, or even get away from the consequences.

End.
