Moar Zombies!: Review of the movie "Warm Bodies"

I rented the movie Warm Bodies which was released on DVD and Bluray today.

I have to say, this is one of the best book to movie translations I've ever watched.  Part of it has to be because the fact that the author was working with the director and producers on the movie. Hollywood is finally getting it... That we want to see the movie brought to life, not the directors 'artistic interpretation' of the story.

Either way, next to the Princess Bride this is the best book to movie I've ever watched.  I highly recommend both the book and the movie for your reading or viewing pleasure.

Truly the most remarkable thing about both the movie and the book is the most unique perspective on the zombie epidemic.  Many stories have contemplated how the plague begins, how it spreads, and how it destroys the world...but few authors have had the courage to think about how it all ends.

Warm Bodies takes us down that less traveled road, and with great success.  You'll find yourself rooting for R in this zom-rom/com.
