So 'Warm Bodies' was at the top of my Netflix queue.
And then it sat my house for awhile...because I wasn't all excited to watch it.
And then I finally watched it.
And this thing happened, called: I LOVE THIS MOVIE!
I think part of my hesitation was the lead actor...Nicholas Hoult...
See, when he was younger, he starred in one of my all-time favorite movies, "About a Boy".
(if you haven't watched that movie...go watch it.)
And since I absolutely love that movie...maybe a part of me didn't want him to suck and ruin part of the simple joy I get from 'About a Boy'.
But...he is a great actor. I will trust him from now on. If he happens to suck in something, I'll be blaming the director.
Back to 'Warm Bodies'.
R is a zombie...he thinks his name started with an 'R'...he doesn't quite remember...and he ends up liking a girl. And that gives his heart a jump start. And you need to watch it because it's just good.
It's PG-13...dues to partial nudity...???...at one point, he takes a shower and you see the back of his shoulders...I don't know that that's partial nudity. It wasn't a sensual thing. It's fine.
It's also due to violence. It is a zombie movie...there is a scene where humans get killed. Oh, and a zombie starting to turn into a skeleton dude. But it's okay. It didn't frighten me...I didn't really notice the human/zombie violence much because that's when R sees Julie...that's what I was watching. Their relationship was starting and she didn't even know.
Watch the movie. My girls think it's terrific also!
Two thumbs up.
I love zombies even more now!
