An Average Cinephile's Zombieland 2 Movie Review
Giphy

I'd be lying if I said I didn't have my hopes up for this movie.

Going in there was this nagging voice in the back of my head that said, "it's been ten years." What if they had waited too long? Other than that little factor, I was expecting nothing but greatness from this movie. Fortunately, I am here to report that my expectations were not only fulfilled, but exceeded.

Zombieland 2 was everything I wanted it to be and more.

The original cast is back and better than ever. They play characters that were created ten years ago as if they had filmed the movies back to back. In fact, that hits at the heart of what's so great about this movie. Zombieland 2 is the perfect sequel because it taps into the magic of the original. The stylistic similarity makes the two movies work extremely well together.

In addition, everything new that Zombieland 2 brought to the table was tastefully done and very well executed. The new cast adds flavor and is not overbearing. A new standout is Zoey Deutch, who plays a character that...well you'll just have to see for yourself. From the multitude of new characters, to the new set pieces and story focuses, all of the new makes for fun interaction with the old.

Oh and remember the awesome action from the first movie? Yea, they dial it up to eleven in Zombieland 2. Without spoiling anything, the opening title sequences rivals that of the original in sheer zombie action.

To be honest, why are you even still reading this? If you liked the first movie you'll love this one. It's time to nut up or shut up, because Zombieland 2 is in theaters now.

This weeks song is Buff Baby by Tobi Lou (yes the TikTok song it's very catchy ok)... Have a great week!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
