The Bennet Sisters Are Ready For Battle

We're fast approaching Valentine's Day and what better film to see on this romantic day than Jane Austin's classic Pride and Prejudice 'oh Mr. Darcy'. However, this story is a bit old plus there's nothing to get the guys interested, step forward Seth Grahame - Smith (the author behind Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter) with his unique retelling, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.

From the trailers PPZ looks a lot of fun and sometimes for Valentine's Day it's all you need as your date can watch strong female characters kicking all sorts of arse as well as watching this classic love story.
