(Comics) Movie review for Zombieland

By Mr D Stevens

  This is a very amusing horror comedy, in the vein of Shaun of the Dead, that focuses on a similar world where everyone or most of the world is a zombie.

We meet Columbus (everyone in the movie calls themselves by places instead of real names) played by Jesse Eisenberg (he has one of those faces you are sure you have seen somewhere but can’t quite identify where) who is one of the last surviving humans in the U.S. and has developed a variety of rules to staying alive such as limbering up before going into any vicinity where zombies may be around, keeping his heart fit, and always taking care when at his most vulnerable i.e. when in the toilet.

We also get flashbacks to unfortunate victims who fell to the zombie plague, all through the opening credits,. It turns out Columbus only survived because he kept to himself, and only found out about the plague, when a lovely girl came knocking at his door, complaining that a tramp had sprinted at her, at first she thought he was chasing someone, but when he reached her he bit her. Columbus was more interested that such a lovely girl would be at his door, and was stroking her hair as she fell asleep when inevitably she turned into a zombie and started lunging at him.

Columbus happens to bump into Tallahassee played by Woody Harrelson (No country for old men), there is a amicable stand-off where the pair think each other is a zombie and wait for any hints at humanity before introducing one another. Together they plan on going to Columbia where Columbus has a faint hope his parents may still be alive, as he puts it, he is a loner who didn’t appreciate those who cared about him or anyone in particular when the world was OK, but now just seeing a familiar face would make things a lot more easier.

On their way to helping Tallahassee find a Twinky, with Tallahassee’s usual antics of antagonising the zombies with loud noises so they come out and get the customary treatment with whatever he happens to have in hand, they bump into two sisters, Wichita played by the gorgeous Emma Stone (The House Bunny) and Little Rock played by the lovely Abigal Breslin (Little Miss Sunshine) who luckily are still alive, but trick them into taking their ammunition and their vehicle.

Of course they inevitably meet again, after the car they have stolen from Columbus and Tallahassee breaks down, and are forced on a road trip together, but not before Tallahassee and Columbus find a vehicle containing plenty of ammunition to which Tallahassee says “Thank God for rednecks”.

As they pass by Hollywood, Tallahassee decides to take them to the home of a superstar (as he puts it even bigger than Tom Cruise). There is a lovely cameo by Bill Murray (Ghostbusters) playing himself, he happens to dress up as a zombie to fit around, and he even joins them re-enacting scenes from Ghostbusters.

Columbus meanwhile is beginning to fall for Wichita, who equally has trust issues, and Tallahassee is still after that Twinky.

It is a hilarious horror-comedy, many will like instantly.

Sharing your videos on vidbang.com and frickenfunnyvideos.com is easy

By Shane Fallas

  When it comes to making videos available to everyone that wants to take a look at them is something that you can do easily with the many websites that are coming up online that allow video sharing freely. You might not think that there is much of a need or desire for this, yet this is something that you need to re-think because there really is a good market open for those that want to post a funny video or something that is designed to make people laugh like crazy at what they are watching.

You will need to check out the rules and guidelines and read the Terms of Service referred to as TOS on sites like so that you totally understand what you can and cannot post in terms of videos. There are many people that, for whatever reason, simply ignore the rules and are going against the TOS when they post something. You do not need to do something like that unless you really want to make a few people very angry with you and be bounced off of that particular website for disobeying the rules. You might not like it that there are rules as far as what types of video materials you can and cannot post, yet you need to respect those rules if you want to be allowed to post videos on that site.

You will need to remember that a Prank video that you want to post needs to be something that will not cause panic to those that are watching it. You might not be able to make any sense out of this, but it is being said for certain reasons. Granted, there are many people that really do like watching people get the living daylights scared out of them when a prank is pulled on them. We know that people that really like being able to watch videos like that and also being able to post videos so that others can also enjoy the videos that you make or have seen.

Those that are looking for a really sexy video will need to remember that there are some sexy videos that are simply too hot or steamy to be posted on regular websites like Vidbang and other such sites. You know there are some people who will say that simply watching a good looking man working outside shirtless. There are others that think that a woman who is walking very confidently with her head held high is sexy. What is considered sexy is subjective and depends upon what each person thinks is sexy.

Adding new videos to the website is pretty simple when you know what is allowed and what you cannot post because the content is not acceptable.

If you are trying to most something that is too sexually explicit (in terms of sexy videos) or a bit too far over the top as far as prank videos is concerned. Making sure that you know what you can and cannot post is good thinking.Please visit http://www.vidbang.com and http://www.frickenfunnyvideos.com


Prank Video Anyone?

By Shane Fallas

  How many times have you seriously thought about pulling a seriously funny prank on someone you know and having a hidden camera nearby to tape the action? If this is the case, you definitely are not alone at all; this is where many a really good Prank video has come from. There are so many people that really are practical jokers that seriously love pulling pranks on their friends and family and making the prank videos that many people seem to really love watching. You know, there really is nothing wrong with pulling pranks on people as long as you know where to draw the line between what is a prank and what is being downright mean-spirited.

Video sharing websites like are going to be watching to make sure that its users are not submitting any videos that it considers to be too steamy, too violent, or simply something that goes against what they will accept in terms of video submissions. If you think that a website that is designed to allow users to share videos with the rest of the world would have no problems with things that could potentially be considered too violent or simply unsuitable for everyone to watch without trouble you seriously need to think again about that matter. The same also holds true for those that are submitting a sexy video as has already been talked about before.

There is such a fine line that everyone in this big old world of ours needs to be able to walk so that we do not offend someone else without intending to. This also holds true for those that have the many video sharing websites that allow their user to add their videos to the website. You need to realize that there are so many videos floating around out there that are not exactly what others really like and that could really be considered offensive to everyone that watches them.

You know something, there is such a thing as a funny video that really takes pranking someone or poking fun at/of them to levels that would be considered to be in very poor taste or just downright offensive altogether to everyone. This is something that you will need to be aware of so that you do not fall into this same trap yourself.

It is fine if you want to do things that poke fun at someone you know or at yourself, but you need to remember that even these things can be taken too far or the wrong way by someone who does not know what you or the other person are thinking. This is something else that you will have to take into account when you are thinking of making a video like this and posting it online for the whole world to see.

You next question after reading all this might be how do I make a video that will not offend anyone who sees it or is it even possible to avoid offending anyone and everyone?Please visit http://www.vidbang.com and http://www.frickenfunnyvideos.com
