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!

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
