“Zombieland,” directed by Ruben Fleischer, has all the great makings of a zombie film: zombies, survivors killing the zombies with shotguns and cars, and more zombies to take their fallen comrades’ places. The flick succeeds in character development, top-notch visual effects and zombie-based dark humor, so it’s forgivable that the movie lacks a strong story and tries too hard to be quirky. Fleischer immediately immerses the viewer in the zombie-filled world, starting the film with rapid shots of zombies chasing down and devouring humans in a fountain of blood and entrails.

Hundreds of people flocked to the fiesta on Sept.
