Well, it's no secret that I really like zombie movies - so I rent a lot of them. Zombie spoofs are fun - like Shaun of the Dead. But the real thing is better. I prefer Zombies that really move. In 28 Days Later they cast track stars and soccer players as the zombies, so they were athletic and could really sprint after their victims. It's pretty cool and ups the scare factor.
Zombieland is a good rental if you like zombie movies. Woody Harrelson is a lot of fun as a hick zombie hunter who revels in finding a Hummer with a load of guns in it. He actually lifts his arms to the heavens and shouts, "Thank God for rednecks!". If that were the extent of the fun in the movie, it would be pretty thin, but the protagonist is a nerd with a list of rules for surviving in a zombie world. I think #1 might be: be careful of bathrooms. The list is one of the better parts of the movie - with the exception of Bill Murray, who has a great role.
Don't expect an award winner, but it is fun. Also, if you feel adventurous, try Night of the Living Dead. I think it made me gag once.
