Zombieland: Where Zombies and Woody Roam

Posted on Sunday, June 21, 2009 by Robert Hood

So, everyone in creation (or the blog version of it) is posting the new trailer for Zombieland (US-2009; dir. Ruben Fleischer) — and who am I to buck the trend? The film is a zombie comedy — or an end-of-the-world … Continue reading →

Blood, Devastation, Death, War and Horror

Posted on Saturday, June 20, 2009 by Robert Hood
