An American Shaun of the Dead
PostedOctober 22, 2009

Don't let the title of the review discourage you. In all the ways that Shaun of the Dead was a uniquely post modern British take on the zombie invasion flick, Zombieland is uniquely American in its tone, plot, and characterizations.
Sound performances all around, although nothing that we haven't seen from these actors before. Comedy in the right spots, tension in the right spots, and just the right dose of zombie gore make this one a winner. The cameo midway through the film is pitch-perfect--just be sure to stay after the credits roll!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Everything You Would Expect
PostedJune 24, 2009

The Proposal is a typical romantic comedy, which in the summer movie season can actually be a welcome change from the typical CGI overload. Bullock and Reynolds have a nice chemistry, decent acting chops, and there are enough humorous points in the film to make it pleasantly bearable. Oddly, the only thing I didn't buy was Betty White as some sort of neo-pagan. Seemed more strange than funny.
The Proposal is perfect as a date movie if you're more interested in your date than what's up on the screen (I definitely was). The plot is amazingly predictable, and if the movie makes money expect to see a sequel set in Alaska.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
