America Likes Zombies More Than Drew Barrymore

Drew Barrymore's first go at directing was apparently no match for ass kickin' and zombies. If box office numbers are any indication, newbie director Ruben Fleicher's flick Zombieland was the reason anyone went to the movies this weekend. Topping the number one spot at the box office, Zombieland raked in 25 million dollars since opening this past Friday.

Unfortunately for her, Drew's directorial debut (she acts in the movie, too) Whip it!, ambled in at sixth place making a mere 4.9 million dollars this weekend. While I'm sure Drew's feel-good comedy about roller derby chicks has its' fair share of good moments, it's hard to compete with Woody Harrelson and Jesse Eisenberg kicking ass in a world with few uninfected humans left.

It's no surprise that Zombie films do better when our economy is down. Dawn of the Dead rocked during the recession of the 80s, and maybe somewhere between fear for the future and the possibility of impending doom, we can relate to what's going on. Not to mention if we're loving vampires right now, zombies can't be too far off.

Another reason this movie probably did so well was the epic cameo. For the purpose of experiencing the surprise, I shall say no more. But let's just say it kills. The zombies, and the cameo.

    To be honest, when I went to the theatre to see "Whip It", I wasn't expecting much. But the movie takes on light-hearted humour and shows realistic human struggles with believeable characters. People saw "Zombieworld" because it sounds more appealing but "Whip It" is a better film and congrats to Drew Barrymore!

    I have a feeling this is movie that might play better on DVD. I probaly wont go see it at the theatres, only because I only have so much money to spend on movies and there are bigger scale films out there. But I might check it out on video or cable though. Dont worry, I havent seen Zombieland either and may or may not, because even that would be 4th or 5th on my list of movies I might see at a theatre.

    I do not understand H.W sometimes. They take a very young girl and make money with her. Not that she is hurting. But to see this young woman in the spot lite of her wild youth for so many years and then when she tries to act responsible and go out on her own to stretch her talents. Only to be down sized and compared with an unrealistic and stuped film like the Zombies. Drew is a talented and spirited young woman and it does not seem she is being taken seriously.
    We need more heart felt and REAL films about life. It brins us back to who we all are. And who we might like to grow to be. Lets give positive credit where its Due.
    I say High 5 to you Drew. Keep up the Good Work!
    Please excuse my spelling I am an older Gal with not much education. And I had fear posting my thoughts.
    But to defend this young and talented woman I felt the need to speak out !
    Thank you for reading.
