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!

Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999) - ★☆☆☆☆

People are always asking me, "Fiona, why, on your quest to watch every Woody Harrelson movie, are you including movies that you absolutely know you will hate, and that Woody is only in for two seconds, appearing as himself, in the last minute of the movie? Wouldn't it be easier to simply find clips of Woody's performances in these movies rather than subjecting yourself to the grueling two hours it would take to watch the whole thing?" I'd like to answer their questions with a few of my own: How will I truly understand Woody's performance in such movies if I don't watch the whole thing? Would a true fan of Woody Harrelson not subject themselves to the greatest pain to support him? How could I claim to be the world's foremost Woody Harrelson expert if I did not watch the entirety of every movie that he appears in? The answers to these questions are, respectively, "I couldn't!" "They would!" and "I couldn't!" So here ...

Transsiberian (2008) - ★★★★☆

If you're not familiar with Andrew Lloyd Webber's seminal classic, Starlight Express,  it's likely we've never met, for hardly a conversation goes by in which I do not find the opportunity to bring it up. Under the unlikely circumstances that you are not familiar with the piece, I'll offer a brief description, and then, assuming that your interest has been suitable peaked, leave you to do further research on your own.  Starlight Express is a 1984 masterpiece from the mind of the one and only Andrew Lloyd Webber, creator of such hits as Cats , Jesus Christ Superstar , The Phantom of the Opera , and  The Phantom of the Opera' s sequel, Love Never Dies , which, naturally, takes place at Coney Island. Starlight Express  is the first musical which was ever performed fully on rollerblades. Why does every single actor in the show wear rollerblades, you ask? The answer, really, is quite simple—they're all trains! While Starlight Express wasn't a major hit in the...
