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!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.
