UPDATE: Here are the winners of “Warm Bodies” signed posters: Hailey, Dan, Rachel.
Thanks for all the comments and keep watching for more contests.
ORIGINAL POST: I’m still pushing “Warm Bodies” as a great movie to go see tonight as part of your Valentine’s Day plans. To sweeten the pot, I’ve got some posters signed by the cast to give away.
Send me your short review of the movie — whether you saw it last week, will see it tonight or plan to see it next week — and I will put you into a random drawing to win one (1) of three (3) miniature movie posters for the film that’s been signed by the cast. The autographs includes Nicolas Hoult, Teresa Palmer, Dave Franco and Analeigh Tipton. I think the other two signatures are writer Isaac Marion and the director Jonathan Levine but I’m not sure.
The movie may not be here for much longer but I still will give you some time. All review comments must be posted by Feb. 22. The winners will be notified and they will be able to pick up their poster at the Fresno Bee during normal working hours.
Here are the official rules:

Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day and three new movies are opening if you are looking for a date option: “Safe Haven,” “Beautiful Creatures” and “A Good Day to Die Hard.” The first two have a romantic element that make them obvious picks. “Dies Hard” doesn’t seem like the kind of film that fits a romantic date but the studio is promoting it as a film where “you can get some action.”
All three are good selections but don’t forget “Warm Bodies.” The romantic comedy about a girl and her zombie is a great date movie because it blends falling in love elements with killing zombies.
If you go see the movie, you might recognize Analeigh Tipton who plays Nora, the best friend to the zombie lover. Before getting into acting, she appeared on the 11th edition of the TV reality competition series “America’s Next Top Model” and finished third.
Here are five questions with the young actress/model:

Looking for something more than the standard dozen roses to celebrate V-Day? Here’s a fun option for you: Send a singing quartet to your beloved. Four singers from the local GNC A Capella men’s barbershop chorus dressed in formal garb will offer a couple of love songs, a red rose and a box of chocolate anywhere in the Fresno-Clovis area for just $35.
There are still openings available on the schedule. Call “Valentine Central” at (559) 456-9566 to make a reservation.
What? All I asked was, “Would you like to do a little cardio?”
“You are sizzling hot and I LOVE you!”
