Last night (October 7) Sarah and I watched Warm Bodies. (And the tiki episode of Scooby-Doo, which was great. 47 luaus?!) Neither of us had seen Warm Bodies before, which was kind of surprising, at least on my end—I tend to watch a lot of movies, I love theaters, I really like zombie movies, and this one came highly recommended by friends and family, especially Miranda: so I'm not sure why I missed it, but I did.
And it was great. Really funny, lots of good zombie action, and a solid storyline. I liked the twist on zombie tropes; it never felt like the movie was making fun of zombie movies, just exploring the genre itself. The mythology of the world and the interactions between zombies were both very well done. And the acting; oh man. Everyone had solid performances, but Nicholas Hoult's R was so well done. He pulled off so many emotions while still just looking like a zombie—I could hardly believe it. Really impressed with his work here.
Anyway, I won't harp on too long, but I really liked Warm Bodies, I'm surprised I'd never seen it before, and I'd recommend it to anyone who hasn't seen it yet.
