Zombieland Rules
Edited on Wed Oct-07-09 07:02 PM by steven johnson
Sometimes a movie comes along with a coherent philosophy of life that just resonates.

A running gag, and a central plot theme throughout the film is Columbus' list of rules for surviving in the zombie-infested world. But there are many more life lessons in the movie which fill in the rules he did not enumerate.

1. i've seen it twice now and could easily see it many more times
i think this'll be a movie that I stop to watch every time it's on TV. It's such a fun, gory, yet heartfet movie.

4. I was about to post another thread about how good it was.
The opening sequence where they are playing Metallica's "For Whom The Bell Tolls" was awesome.
