I saw "Zombieland" at the Red Vic MovieHouse in the Haight the other night, and really enjoyed it. Not a work of high art, necessarily, but a very entertaining flick with an endearing "alternative family" message. Woody Harrelson and Jesse Eisenberg (sort of "the other Michael Cera") make a most amusing contrast. (Interesting to see two men - well, one man and one boy - play a dynamic that would traditionally be portrayed by two people of different genders. Wellllll, OK...maybe they're not exactly Bogie and Bacall.) But the best part of the movie is Bill Murray. His cameo is so brilliant, it would make the movie worth seeing even if the rest of it was pure dreck - which it isn't! Go, Bill! This scene should be used in college courses on filmmaking under the title, "How to write a stupendously brilliant celebrity cameo."
