Warm Bodies (January 16, 2013)
Shaun of the Dead may have started the trend of the romantic zombie comedy sub-genre (which continues next week with Pride and Prejudice and Zombies), but 2013’s Warm Bodies helped keep it fresh. Adapted from Isaac Maron’s novel of the same name, the film follows R (Nicholas Hoult, A Single Man, X-Men: First Class), a zombie who meets Julie (Theresa Palmer), whom he believes to be the love of his life. It’s a sweet film that was better than pretty much everyone expected it to be, which makes it all the more surprising that it was a January release.
