though it is probably a common mistake, i thought zombieland's lead actor jesse eisenberg was michael cera each time i saw commercials for it. not only because he bares a resemblance to michael cera, but he also does the same michael cera routine, only he doesn't seem to do it as well as cera. i'm sure both actors are aware of each other and the situation, though i don't know if either of them would like to acknowledge it. i can only imagine how awkward it would be if they were trapped in an elevator together. jesse eisenberg should know that there's only one person like michael cera, and that's woody allen.at any rate, zombieland looks like a film that relies heavily on humor and gore, much like shaun of the dead. whether or not that formula translates well into a version without british accents remains to be seen. with most of today's horror films lacking originality and legitimate scares, zombieland's decision to incorporate humor may be the best option to infuse life into a somewhat dead genre.
prognosis : 7/10
