Saw Zombieland tonight. It was just ok IMO, sort of a letdown after the first 30 minutes, which were really fun and very well done. I dunno, I've enjoyed Paranormal Activity and Trick 'r Treat way more so far this Halloween season than this one. The cameo by Bill Murray was by far the best part of the film, and then it just sort of devolves into a run-of-the-mill action comedy. Not enough focus on the zombies and not nearly enough scares (which are essential for a true horror comedy) for my taste. In fact it wasn't scary at all, and not even as funny as I thought it should be. Anyway, it was a fun movie, but nothing special. I'll give it somewhere between 2.5 - 3/5 stars.
