Resident Evils
Resident Evils
Milla Jovovich

Pub. Date: 2002, 2004, 2007

I am so sorry. Unlike more sophisticated people that watched Oscar nominees, I watch all 3 Resident Evils this weekend: Biohazard, Apocalypse, and Extinction. I feel so mindless, just like when I finished RoboCop 3, Omen 3, and Rocky 6. Sigh... No wonder they keep on producing sequels.

Watch only for, "What next?" Since the movie makers knew, they avoid answering. Instead, they fill the time with mindless killings, cheap emotions, and, once in a while, good fights.

The general story line, after watching all 3 episodes, is the sterotypical virus genetic mutation one. This time, a scientist created a virus to cure his daughter's inability to walk. The evil management tried turning it into a bio-weapon. A greedy insider stole it. Everything went wrong and the earth is destroyed. Why is this not a ruin? Because you don't watch these movies for the stories. Besides, I did not reveal those details designed to hook you.

Milla Jovovich is another female fighter on the silver screen. For some reasons, they have this draw on male viewers. We have Trinity, Sarah Connors, Violet, the Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon girl (what's her character name?), and many more. I guess their fight scenes are more pleasing to watch like dances than those masculine power displays.

Fine, Lynn. I will watch Atonement next. Geez. Enough the rolling eyes.

Hey! I love the Trinity series and of course the Sarah Connor chronicles with Summer Glau. To be honest I also kinda like Kill Bill :^) Another _strong_ female lead. Sophisticated... hah! I'm just trying to figure out how we can make more money off these megahits that end up as Oscar nominees... Please watch Juno first though. That's one of the most clever movies I've seen in a long time.

Sin Yaw,

Perhaps you are like me .... I work so (too) much, any movie that allows me to become brain dead for 2 hours generally receives a "thumbs up" from me.
