Whip It & Zombieland Movie Review
DESCRIPTION
"WHIP IT" FOR TEENAGE GIRLS AND "ZOMBIELAND" FOR HORROR FANS...TWO FILMS TO CHOOSE FROM THIS WEEKEND...WHICH ONE SHOULD YOU SEE FIRST?
JUNO'S ELLEN PAGE STARS AS BLISS...A SMALL TOWN GIRL WITH BIG DREAMS! SHE'S A BODEEN, TEXAS INDIE-ROCK LOVING MISFIT WHO FINDS HER HOPE AND SALVATION IN A ROLLER DERBY LEAGUE IN NEARBY AUSTIN...
BLISS TRADES IN HER GOWNS AND CROWNS FOR SKIRTS...SKATES...AND SCRAPES...SHE'S NOW KNOWN AS BABE RUTHLESS...THE FASTEST THING ON EIGHT WHEELS...
PAGE IS PERFECT IN THE ROLE OF BLISS...SHE HAS AN INNER WILD-CHILD SPIRIT MUCH LIKE HER CO-STAR DREW BARRYMORE...MAKING HER DIRECTING DEBUT...
THIS IS A FITTING FILM FOR BARRYMORE TO DIRECT...ROLLER DERBY IS ABOUT THE CELEBRATION OF WILD INDIVIDUALITY AND BARRYMORE EXHIBITS THAT...I ALSO LIKE THE GREAT SUPPORTING CAST SPECIALLY KRISTEN WIIG AND JULIETTE LEWIS...
SURE...THE SCRIPT BY SHAUNA CROSS, ADAPTED FROM HER OWN NOVEL...IS FORMULAIC AND CLICHED...BUT WHIP IT IS A GIRL POWER FILM THAT'S TRULY ENTERTAINING! IT'S WHIP IT GOOD!
AND FOR THAT...WHIP IT GETS 3 FIND YOUR INNER STRENGTH KISSES...
ANOTHER GOOD FILM OUT TODAY IS THE SO-SCARY IT'S FUNNY...ZOMBIELAND...
ZOMBIES HAVE TAKEN OVER THE WORLD AND A GROUP OF SURVIVORS MUST BAND TOGETHER TO SURVIVE...
ONE OF THOSE SURVIVORS IS THE NEUROTIC COLUMBUS PLAYED BY THE CHARMING JESSE EISENBERG...HE FOLLOWS HIS OWN RULES ON SURVIVING ZOMBIES...
THEN THERE'S THE FANTASTIC WOODY HARRELSON AS TALLAHASEE...A GUN-TOTING, ZOMBIE SLAYING LONE WOLF WITH ONE PASSION IN LIFE...HOSTESS TWINKIES...
SOON, THE UNLIKELY PAIR MEET CON ARTIST SISTERS...WICHITA PLAYED BY EMMA STONE...AND ABIGAIL BRESLIN'S LITTLE ROCK...THEY DECIDE TO GO TO L.A. WHY? BECAUSE SUPPOSEDLY...PACIFIC PLAYLAND IS ZOMBIE FREE!
SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERT!
YOU MAY HAVE HEARD THAT BILL MURRAY IS IN THIS FILM...HE MAKES A CAMEO...AND THAT'S ALL I'M GOING TO TELL YOU...OH...THAT PLUS...IT'S ONE OF THE BEST CAMEOS THIS YEAR...AND IT'S ONE OF THE BEST SCENES IN THE MOVIE...
THE CAST IS GAME FOR THIS LAUGH OUT LOUD FRIGHTFEST...AND THE STARS OF THE SHOW ARE HARRELSON AND EISENBERG...ZOMBIE MOVIES ARE SUPPOSED TO COME WITH SOCIO-POLITICAL COMMENTARIES...BUT FOR NOW, WHO CARES ABOUT MESSAGES WHEN YOU CAN HAVE FUN SURVIVING ZOMBIES...IF YOU PLAY BY THE RULES...TAKE A JOURNEY TO ZOMBIELAND...
AND FOR THAT...ZOMBIELAND GETS 3 ZOMBIES! RUN! KISSES...
SO THERE YOU HAVE IT MOVIE BUFFS...YOU CAN'T GO WRONG WITH EITHER WHIP IT, OR ZOMBIELAND! I'M MANNY THE MOVIE GUY....ZOMBIES...
