The Trailer Park: Zombieland


The original trailer for Zombieland had everything a girl could ask for, comedy, action and the right amount of violence and gore. Woody Harrelson was hilarious as the renegade zombie hunter who bears a close resemblance to Steve Martin of Little Shop of Horrors (My momma always said I’d be good at something…) and the mention of Zombie Kill of the Week inspired the series of zombie kills now found on my blog. I was in trailer heaven.

But that was before the release of the red band trailer. Not to say it’s too gory. I can take my fair share of squished zombie limbs and messy head-on collisions with the best of them, but (you knew there was going to be a but) it feels like the creators of the trailer might have just rounded up all the rudest, crudest moments they could find in the film and crammed them into this three minute raunchfest.


Despite this feat, the trailer does manage a few good points. Among them are the zombie stripper, complete with tassels and dollar bills in her g-string, chasing an Asian strip club patron, and Jesse Eisenberg’s tirade about Woody Harrelson being a cock blocking machine built in a secret government lab.

Regardless, the new trailer has not dampened my excitement for the film’s release. It’s kind of like falling in love with the perfect person, then finding out they’re an immature jerk, but then loving them more because of it. Zombieland, I’m yours.

Also, another reason to look forward to this movie: Zombie clown.

And Now This: Pruitt Taylor Vince Creeps Me Out

“His irises tremble violently as the camera fixes on his glassy gaze, and before you know it, you've once again been entranced by the character with whom you're unsure if you should fear or sympathize.”— Actor Bio on Blockbuster Onlin e I just got finished watching Captivity , one of the After Dark Horrorfest films starring Elisha Cuthbert as a kidnapped supermodel with Daniel Gillies and Pruitt Taylor Vince as her captors. Vince gives an unsettling performance as the psychotic Ben Dexter, who owns his own catering business to finance his and his brother's hobby of capturing young women and keeping them in the basement. Vince’s roles always leave me with a feeling of lingering creepiness, so I thought I’d do a brief review of the weirdos he’s played in the past. Monster (2003) Vince plays Gene the stuttering "John" in Monster, one of the many victims of Aileen Wuornos, a prostitute from Daytona Beach who became a serial killer. Identity (2003) Malcolm Rivers is

Zombieland Trailer Censors Undead Boobs

I was on MySpace when a Zombieland promo popped up with Woody Harrelson and that kid from Juno giving tips on how to survive a zombie apocalypse. This bit of fun seguewayed into the trailer and I was about to click off when I noticed the zombie stripper that chases the Asian businessman out of the nudie club (an image that has stuck with me since my first viewing of the redband trailer) was now wearing a digital bikini top! Check out the regular and restricted trailers at the Zombieland website to witness the hilarity.

Life Lessons I Learned from Watching Clash of the Titans

Image
Okay so I’m kinda riffing off Pax Romano’s gig over at Billy Love’s Stu , but imitation is the highest form of flattery right? Anyway here are the things about life I learned from Clash of the Titans, in theaters now. Have multiple fabulous costume changes—one outfit is never enough for one movie. I could not help but notice how many different looks Io, Perseus’s love interest, has in Clash—all of them fabulous of course. She starts off in a drapey number and pristine up-do, revealing only her face. This gives way an off-the-shoulder tunic and loose locks when she has to get down and dirty fighting giant scorpions. Io then ditches the cape and sets her look to stun with a fancy drape adorned with a knitted, faux fur accent. Just goes to show you girls, make your pieces multi-task and you can look better than Aphrodite herself.   Accept gifts, they might come in handy Perseus persists (wow, that was a lot of s’s) in refusing the gifts of his father Zeus, like Pegasus and a magical
