Fantastic Fest 09: Todd's Thoughts On ZOMBIELAND

Though Fantastic Fest has not yet begun I actually had the chance to see to catch an advance screening of Zombieland in Toronto last night before hopping on a plane to Austin this morning.  And you can find my full review at Showcase here.  Verdict?  It promises more than it delivers but when a film promises as much as Zombieland does it's quite possible to come up short and still end up with something pretty damn entertaining, which this is.  And the opening sequence contains a ludicrous string of instantly iconic images.
