Yesterday in English class we were assigned to read The Story of an Hour by Kate Chopin.  After we read it, we discussed it, and as we were leaving she gave us our homework assignment.  We have to write what happens after the story ends to give the story an ‘extended ending.’

I wonder if I’m the only one that wants to turn it into a zombie story.

ZOMBIELAND!

In my opinion: one of the best zombie movies in recent years.  It is a movie consisting of blood, guts, and awesome.  And Emma Stone.

There are several contributing factors to the awesome level.  The first two being blood and guts.  There is a lot of it, almost unnecessarily, which adds to the comedic value of the movie as a whole.  Next would be the rules of survival, and how they play into each scene.  Without spoiling too much, I can say that these rules make for the best scenes in the movie.

The cameo.  That’s all I’m going to say about that one.

What makes this movie particularly awesome is the acting and writing.  Woody Harrelson is brilliant and a part that was seemingly destined for Michael Cera went to this guy instead. Though, he pulled it off quite well.

Zombieland is a fantastic movie that you should see if you’re into zombies. Or comedy. Or Emma Stone.
