Zombieland (2009)
4/10
and the punchline is..?
15 October 2009
Hollywood's sad attempt at a B-pic with some heart.. but hey zombie flicks are a moneymaker right? People just love seeing re-animated corpses get sliced, diced, burned, blended.. well I couldn't name them all. For some odd reason these zombie films are fascinatingly entertaining to us, and there are some fantastic ones out there with great stories. Zombieland doesn't even step close to being in that category. Everything about it seemed very generic to me and reminiscent of an ongoing list of zombie films like it with nothing really interesting happening.The one thing this pointless shoot em up at least spared us from is that age old endless zombie film saying said many ways "shoot them in the head, and they'll die.". It's like they just have to remind you. "In case you forgot sledgehammering them in the head like a watermelon is a great way too kids!"

The Wonder Years On Acid
10 November 2004
Be Prepared, you may be confused..but to be honest The Nature Of Nicholas is one of the most creative and innovative films I have watched in a long time. It is an avante-garde surreal masterpiece of reality and hallucination that is like The Wonder Years on acid. It's ideas and themes may be familiar..but the way Erbach deals with them is fantastic. This film may not be for everyone, but for all of you who love to see something new in film making watch it if you can.

Jeff Erbach is a great new Canadian director who is reminiscent in the likes of David Cronenberg, Guy Maddin & David Lynch.
