From The Box:

Nerdy college student Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg) has survived the plague that has turned mankind into flesh-devouring zombies because he's scared of just about everything. Gun-toting, Twinkie-loving Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson) has no fears. Together, they are about tostare down their most horrifying challenge yet: each other's company. Emma Stone and Abigail Breslin co-star in this double-hitting, head smashing comedy.

At last, it's here. Zombieland has arrived on Blu-ray. I didn't get a chance to catch it in the theaters which I regret immensely but I was extremely excited to finally get to see it in HD.

I gotta say it. I loved it. A totally original and fun take on the Zombie genre with a perfect cast including a brilliantly funny, and at times touching, performance from Woody Harrelson.

The movie is extremely funny and pretty gory for all you guts fans out there. I laughed out loud more than The Hangover to be honest. I also jumped a few times so there are some good scares to be had.

It really is a great film with a stellar script. Originally conceived as a pilot, the script was expanded to include the amusement park aspect. I'd love to see this turned into a series personally. If they kept the cast, I'd watch these characters for as long as they wanted.

The film looks beautiful on Blu-ray. The colors are bright and clear and the sound is deep and immersing. The special features are kinda light. Mainly featurettes and deleted scenes. I'd love to see some bloopers, maybe a game or something.

It's worth the price for just the movie alone anyway. Zombieland is certainly one of the best movies of the year and the best zombie comedy period.

Do yourself a favor and buy this movie immediately and learn the rules to surviving a zombie apocalypse.

Nut up or shut up.

Zombieland is now available on Blu-Ray and DVD.
