“Warm Bodies”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Follow this link<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n

This is the story of R.\u00a0 He’s one of the shambling dead.\u00a0 One day while out searching for food with his friends, he sees Julie and after eating her boyfriend’s brains and absorbing the memories, something in him starts to change.\u00a0 R takes Julie home with him, protects her, and she realizes he’s different than the other shambling dead, he’s getting better.\u00a0 Together they must convince the surviving people that the dead are changing.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

This movie claims to be inspired loosely by the Romeo and Juliet story.\u00a0 I guess I can see the “star-crossed lovers” theme, and a few homage scenes, but that’s really where it ends.\u00a0 Where Romeo and Juliet was never intended to be an example of idyllic romance, rather a satire of the foolishness and immaturity of young love, Warm Bodies is a supernatural version of love conquers all sorts of adversity.<\/p>\n

The characters are fun, engaging, and evolve throughout the film. \u00a0The cast is talented and obviously have fun. \u00a0Nicolas Hoult, gave quite a nice performance as our shambling dead hero, R. \u00a0The narrative of his thoughts throughout the movie is very entertaining. \u00a0Teresa Palmer, as Julie, our optimistic heroine, trying to convince her father that zombies can change. \u00a0John Malkovich, as Julie’s father, though a small role, has his usual large presence. \u00a0However, \u00a0it was Rob Corddry, as M, R’s best friend, who really stole the show with his unique intensity and excellent comedic timing.<\/p>\n

The “reality” in which this film is set, zombies talk. It’s part of the plot. \u00a0And here’s where I interject that I have opinions on zombies (the walking dead vs infected; shamblers vs runners). \u00a0I prefer my zombies to shamble, rot, react only on the most basic level to stimuli. \u00a0I am able to appreciate if there are reasons for other zombie-like creatures in film and print. \u00a0Therefore, I accept the premise in this movie because the canon for the zombies and bonies seem well planned and addressed as the story progresses.<\/p>\n

I think whether you can suspend your disbelief and accept the world the film makers created or not, there will be no argument that this film has a great soundtrack, featuring John Waite, Bruce Springsteen and more, .<\/p>\n

I thought it was a light, cute, decent flick \u00a0for the teen\/tween audience that appear to be its intended target. \u00a0If that’s not what your looking for, you probably won’t enjoy it as much. \u00a0I thought it delivered exactly what it was supposed to . \u00a0 I gave this 4 cans of soda.
