Zombieland: Double Tap
dir. Ruben Fleischer (2019)
Whereas the original Zombieland was a tightly plotted character story, Double Tap is an indulgent collection of comedy moments—as if it were filmed not from a screenplay but from a laundry list of funny bits that didn’t make the first cut.
Zombieland
dir. Ruben Fleischer (2009)
Zombieland strikes that hugely unusual balance between the serious and the comedic to produce—go figure—an enjoyable zombie apocalypse. The violence is graphic and over-the-top but Harrelson and Eisenberg play well off each other; plus there’s a cameo for the ages.
This is not a Test
by Courtney Summers (St. Martin’s Press, 2012); audiobook read by Stephanie Cannon (AudioGO, 2013)
Summers offers a small but serious (teen issues) twist on zombie apocalypse survival. The story is well executed and Stephanie Cannon’s reading makes a virtue of the prose. Even the ending is hard to argue with. Nevertheless, it leaves one mildly dissatisfied.
