Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse

Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse - Movie Review

If Zombieland taught us that rules keep you alive and Shaun of the Dead proved that slacker humor pairs beautifully with the undead, then Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse lands somewhere in between—a silly, over-the-top ride where the Boy Scouts unexpectedly step up as humanity’s last hope.

Ridiculousness Wins Again

This isn’t the kind of zombie movie that wants to scare you; it wants to make you laugh, often with ridiculous gags that feel like a mashup of teen comedy and creature feature.

The kids are goofy, the story doesn’t take itself seriously for a second, and that’s exactly the point. Even if you’re in a foul mood, this one has enough absurdity and charm to get at least a chuckle out of you.

Think of it as a late-night popcorn flick—the kind you put on when you don’t want to think too much, just laugh at some outrageous situations and maybe catch a nostalgic reminder that even scouts can be heroes. It’s no Walking Dead, but it never tries to be.

Just for Fun

I had a blast watching it, and if you’re on the fence, just dive in. You might not come away with life lessons, but you’ll definitely have a fun time—and sometimes, that’s all a movie needs to be.

The Handmaid’s Tale – From Brilliant to Frustrating

When The Handmaid’s Tale first aired, it felt sharp, terrifying, and painfully necessary. I wrote about the first season as a dark and brilliant adaptation, one that used restraint, symbolism, and dread to tell its story. Now that I've finished the third season, my opinion has shifted — not wholly, but noticeably. The show is still good . Sometimes very good. But it also became frustrating, uneven, and less powerful than it could have been. June Osborne: From Survivor to Exhaustion Let’s talk about June (Elisabeth Moss, Mad Men ). I understand the idea behind her arc. She was meant to evolve — to become more confident, more assertive, more dangerous. A woman shaped by trauma who stops surviving and starts fighting back. On paper, it makes sense. On screen, however, it often doesn’t work. June becomes reckless to the point of irresponsibility. She repeatedly puts others in danger without seeming to fully care about who might be caught in the crossfire. Her actions feel impuls...

Gangsta Granny – Hilarious and Surprisingly Moving

I have a ten-year-old daughter, and one thing we like to do is read the same books so we can talk about them afterward. Gangsta Granny was a birthday gift for her, and she read it so quickly that it immediately made me curious. When a child finishes a book that fast, you know something is working. When I finally read it myself, I was pleasantly surprised — and completely charmed. A Story That Is Funny and Moving At first glance, Gangsta Granny is a crazy, over-the-top, and very funny story. David Walliams clearly knows how to make children laugh, using absurd situations, exaggerated characters, and a fast-moving plot that keeps young readers hooked. But beneath the humour, the book is also sweet, touching, and emotionally rich. What starts as a wild adventure slowly reveals a story about family, loneliness, empathy, and learning to truly see the people around us. This balance reminded me of Roald Dahl’s books , where outrageous humour and emotional depth coexist effortles...

Grief in the Shadows: Why 'The Silencing' Stands Out

A moody thriller about grief, violence, and how far we go for the ones we love. Nikolaj Coster-Waldau ( Game of Thrones ) is Rayburn Swanson , a former hunter who now lives in isolation, running a wildlife sanctuary named after his missing daughter. Years after she vanished, Rayburn is just barely functioning—haunted, grieving, and clinging to the hope that she might still return. When a murdered girl turns up in the woods with eerie similarities to his daughter's disappearance, the local sheriff, Alice Gustafson ( Annabelle Wallis ), launches an investigation. Rayburn, meanwhile, accidentally crosses paths with a mysterious masked figure hunting a girl on his land. This encounter pulls him into the heart of the case in ways he never expected. The investigation twists, misleads, and slowly unravels, building toward a reveal that isn’t obvious—and intentionally so. Nothing is as straightforward as it seems. Themes of Grief and Family What makes The Silencing compelling is...
