Zombieland was excellent. Right up there with Shaun of the Dead.

What were you expecting? A feel-good war movie? The Hurt Locker was genius.

Zombieland was very good – a nicely played combo of comedy and gross-out horror. Have to see it a few more times before I can properly compare it with Shaun of the Dead, though I’ll say that Zombieland seems to have more laugh-out-loud moments while SoD maintains it’s comedic momentum better.

How many of these comments are posted by the movie studios, some sounds a little too gleeful. Don’t believe everything you read, people.

The Hurt Locker was too depressing.

Not as great as SHAUN OF THE DEAD but still very funny. And the surprise cameo was a treat.

Don’t forget that Surrogates was released last week and made around 20 mil, so that statement’s kind of misleading. On the other hand, if Toy Story beat Surrogates’s total box office in one week (like Jennifer’s Body, which made roughly 12.5 mil in two weeks), that looks even worse for a new movie.

yeah i knew about marketing budget, but didn’t know that a movie keeps only 55% of it’s final gross. Thanks for the info
