'Warm Bodies' promises to be a different kind of zombie movie

Are you ready for a new type of zombie movie? If you love the offbeat and humorous zombie movies like "Shaun of the Dead," or "Zombieland," then you will probably get a kick out of the newest offering: "Warm Bodies."

With a release date of February 1, "Warm Bodies" offers us a look at zombies from an unusual perspective -- the zombies themselves. Rather, one zombie in particular. R (so named because he can't remember his name) spends his days wandering around an airport, grunting at other zombies and wondering who he used to be.

"Warm Bodies" is not the love story you are used to. R meets a living girl who captures his fancy for more than just a lunch date. The first four minutes of the movie can be viewed in the video to the left. Watch it and see what you think for yourself.

What do you think about a sort of zombie romance? Too icky? Too funny? Just the ticket for a quirky storyline or perhaps a little over the line? Let me know what you think about "Warm Bodies" and if you plan to see it when it is released.
