An Average Cinephile's Zombieland 2 Movie Review
Giphy

I'd be lying if I said I didn't have my hopes up for this movie.

Going in there was this nagging voice in the back of my head that said, "it's been ten years." What if they had waited too long? Other than that little factor, I was expecting nothing but greatness from this movie. Fortunately, I am here to report that my expectations were not only fulfilled, but exceeded.

Zombieland 2 was everything I wanted it to be and more.

The original cast is back and better than ever. They play characters that were created ten years ago as if they had filmed the movies back to back. In fact, that hits at the heart of what's so great about this movie. Zombieland 2 is the perfect sequel because it taps into the magic of the original. The stylistic similarity makes the two movies work extremely well together.

In addition, everything new that Zombieland 2 brought to the table was tastefully done and very well executed. The new cast adds flavor and is not overbearing. A new standout is Zoey Deutch, who plays a character that...well you'll just have to see for yourself. From the multitude of new characters, to the new set pieces and story focuses, all of the new makes for fun interaction with the old.

Oh and remember the awesome action from the first movie? Yea, they dial it up to eleven in Zombieland 2. Without spoiling anything, the opening title sequences rivals that of the original in sheer zombie action.

To be honest, why are you even still reading this? If you liked the first movie you'll love this one. It's time to nut up or shut up, because Zombieland 2 is in theaters now.

This weeks song is Buff Baby by Tobi Lou (yes the TikTok song it's very catchy ok)... Have a great week!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
