Despite the freezing cold Michigan tundra, my wife and I ventured out last night to catch a flick at the local Goodrich Cinema 6. We had seen a preview awhile back for a Zombie love story coming out called Warm Bodies. The preview must have been exceptional because we were sold by the end of it. Warm Bodies stars Nicholas Hoult, Teresa Palmer, Rob Corddry, and John Malkovich. To sum up the story: Zombie meets girl and he begins reversing his death by "feeling" something for her. The rest of the city she lives in kills zombies on a regular basis. Hence the conflict!
The film was REALLY well written and inventive. It was nice to see a different telling of the zombie story. Kind of reminded me of what John Hughes would do with a zombie movie. The music was really well placed and kept the pace/feel of the film entertaining. Rob Corddry has some funny moments but what I found interesting was that the film was less of a comedy and more of a drama. That isn't a bad thing, it just shocked me a bit because it was promoted as mainly a comedy.
If you get out to see a movie in the next month...definately check out this gem! The other really great thing about Warm Bodies is the film is under 2 hours but you would never realize it because the pace and length of it made it seem much longer (and more complete). Enjoy the snow and the show!
