Slapdash but good-natured horror-comedy works hard enough to justify its existence. The movie closes with Woody Harrelson treating the audience to a full-throated rendition of Hunka Hunka Burning Love, which summarises the movie quite well: it's enthusiastic, not awful, and fairly entertaining, but you do wonder what the point of it is.

An indeterminate number of years after the first film (the subject of one of many hand-waves), the characters embark on another roadtrip across zombie-infested America. The plot is episodic and somewhat disjointed, but strong performances from the quartet and a frequently inventive script keep things barrelling along. It's silly and knowing and not really very scary, but it passes the time amiably enough.

Monsterland
So spotted this on Netflix and wasn't too sure about it. Glad I gave it a go though. Set in the near future where bugs and reptiles have become huge Monsters and the few people alive have been living in bunkers for years. A guy decides to take a dangerous journey to meet his love in a different colony.
This is a lighthearted Monster film, with more comedy and action than Horror. Kinda of a similar theme to Zombieland. Quite heartfelt as he goes on his journey and learns have to survive this new world. The creatures look great and SFX are very well done. Very entertaining if also predictable, but you'll enjoy the adventure.

Spaced on the big screen
In principle, I really don't like comedies. Yes, there are examples of the genre out there that I like, don't get me wrong. But generally-speaking I just don't dig them. I won't go into my anti-comedy rant in great detail here, but I think that one of the main reasons for it is that I love the craft of filmmaking and most comedies are severely lacking in any kind of interesting creative decision that make me appreciate a filmmaker's craft. Now Edgar Wright, there's a director who knows his craft, and it is very much evident in Shaun of the Dead. It is very slickly shot and edited, brilliantly-paced, pitch-perfect in tone and yes - it's funny! There aren't many comedy-horror movies that work, but this one really does. Also, I am a huge fan of Spaced, which is up there in my top 5 tv shows of all time, and this film is very much a spiritual successor to the show.
