Zombieland (2009) - ★★★★☆


I think this is the kind of movie a film critic might call a "romp." I don't really know what that means, but for me it means it was fun and I enjoyed it. The only part of this movie that disappointed me was that it didn't include this ABSOLUTE BANGER from Disney Channel's 2018 hit ZOMBIES, which literally has the word "zombieland" in it like one thousand times.

The real reason we're here, though, is to talk about Woody. I am of the opinion that this role is exactly the kind of role Woody was born to play. There's something about his accent, or maybe his face, that just screams to me "crusty, edgy, and rude father figure with a secret heart of gold." I've seen Woody play this part before (though not yet on this blog), but it never gets old!

The fun twist in the movie was obviously the zombies, but an additional twist was that I found Tallahassee, Woody's character, to be weirdly relatable in a couple specific ways:

Way Number One:
I also feel this way about coconut
Way Number Two:
Yesterday I accidentally played my banjo during my zoom class without muting myself :/

Those are really the only ways he's relatable to me, but I thought it would be fun to share with you, my loyal readers. Be sure to check out the updated edition of "Woody's Hats," and leave a comment below if you are looking forward to my review of this movie's sequel, Zombieland: Double Tap!

No Country For Old Men (2007) - ★★★★☆

I think it's interesting that this, the second movie I've viewed on this grand adventure with a motif of tube-related crime, is called 'No Country For Old Men,' because something I noticed while watching it was that there were actually a couple old men in it, and they don't even die. I think that some would have me believe it is called this because it is a line from a famous poem, and is a reference to the disillusionment Sheriff Ed Tom Bell (an old man) feels with these modern times.... kids have green hair and nose piercings, and guys do violence with tubes. He probably feels like he doesn't belong in Texas anymore because of all these crazy kids and their newfangled violence, thus making the country not one which is for an old man. Nonetheless, he's there, and time sort of goes on no matter what, and things have always been bad in one way or another. He should probably get over it. That being said, I have a few ideas of other names this movie (yeah, I kno...

The Hi-Lo Country (1998) - ★★★★★

A shockingly underrated and under-talked about Woody Harrelson masterpiece. Reminsicent of the classic Marty Robbins banger, "Tall Handsome Stranger," this is a must watch for cowboy fans and Woody Harrelson fans alike. Unequivocally Woody's best cowboy role!!!!!

The Big White (2005) - ★★★☆☆

It is, perhaps, a little-known fact that a movie only needs exactly one (1) ingredient to be a good movie. That ingredient is not a good director (what even is a director? The guy who clacks the black and white thing and shouts "action!"?). That ingredient is not beautiful cinematography (though The Big White  has no shortage of that. I really liked the vast snowy landscapes and also the matching snowy whiteness of the insurance office, especially since it was snowing outside my window while I watched this movie and I guess that just felt serendipitous). That ingredient is not an incredible and talented cast—something I think everyone agree this movie has (Robin Williams, yes, but also  this guy , who looks like Pete "Mad Men" Campbell, but isn't. I like him a lot and would like to see more of him!). That ingredient is not even—dare I say it?—Woody Harrelson. Many a movie, in fact, as this blog evidences, is very bad in spite of Woody's wonderful presence. ...
