    Decent film <ok>

    Bit slow & full of geeky types but there are some dry, witty moments in there.

    Was expecting an American Pie kinda film but it was well written & was set well in a fairground which I thought was a good touch <ok>

    Was certainly better than Zombieland which also has the same lead Jesse Eisenberg....apart from a great cameo by Bill Murray <laugh>

    **** all decent film about to rent nowadays!!!

    Bill Murray is one of the few guys who can make you laugh without doing **** all <ok>

    I thought Zombieland was good.........but for some reason I thought it was going to be brilliant based on overhearing a conversation a couple were having about the film in Blockbusters <laugh>

    The sense of humour is quite similar to Adventureland & has the same geeky Jew kid but Adventureland was that little bit better for me. After watching Zombieland I struggled to remember what the funny bits were.

    I must admit I thought Zombieland was going to be the mother of all Zomcoms. Everyone's gotta agree Bill Murray is a comedy god <ok>

    I did Bill Murray moves when bowling the other week & the missus thought I was taking the game too serious <doh>

    As a side note did you know the British actor Billy Murray (DS Don Beech in The Bill) was given money by the Krays to attend acting school as a kid? They gave him £400 to do so.

    Family friend Bollo <ok>

    DS Don Beech was the bollocks. He even had his own spin offs where he took part on a jewell heist near the Millenium Dome site where he gets away on a waiting speed boat <laugh>

    There were two spin offs or possibly even more if you include all the times he popped in & out the show after he he was ****ed out the force.

    Beech On The Run & Beech is Back <ok>

    Possibly, dare I say it better than Burnsides return!!

    **** know.

    Burnside was a legend for years in the show. From when it began & was pretty **** to making it a succesful show him & Carver worked brilliantly together along with DC Tosh Lines (poor fat ****ing alky) doing all the ****ty work in the background.

    Beech's return comes a close second to Burnside with possible Smithies return from CO19 a distant third.
