Resident Evil: Retribution (Blu-ray Review)

I have to admit, while covering Sony’s Resident Evil Comic-Con panel in 2010 (here), I truly believed Resident Evil: Afterlife was going to be the last film in the franchise, at least for Milla Jovovich’s character and arc.  Was I ever wrong!  Not only did they prove my way of thinking incorrect, but Milla has [...]

Resident Evil: Retribution Brings The Plague Home To Blu-ray

‘The Three Musketeers’ Is Junk Food, Like The Candy Bar

It seems like there was one type of phrase that came to mind during the making of this movie:  “This is not your father’s Three Musketeers”.  In the era of blockbuster filmmaking that audiences now live in and in the wake of somewhat self-aware period action films like Pirates of the Caribbean and Sherlock Holmes, [...]

Resident Evil: Afterlife (Blu-ray Review)

The Resident Evil franchise is a series I nearly gave up on had it not been for my friend Susan’s advice to me in 2008.  You see, quite honestly, I take my films very seriously and well, Resident Evil movies just didn’t cut it for me.  I was just not able to take the lunacy, [...]

‘Stone’ Isn’t Quite Rock Solid, But Has Strong Performances

Stone is a meandering drama that makes sure to preach its themes pretty loud and clear, but also features very good performances from its stars.  It deals with characters suffering from their own flaws and also looks to add some twists on atonement and what makes someone a sinner.  Then you have the element of [...]

‘Resident Evil: Afterlife’ is a Biohazard to Avoid

The fourth installment in the strangely popular Resident Evil movie series, based upon the original Resident Evil video game series continues to baffle me in its ways of being fairly unimaginative and derivative, yet still managing to get a pass from audiences.  But this time it’s in 3-D!  After a brief recap, utilizing the first [...]

Comic-Con 2010: Resident Evil: Afterlife 3-D

Right before the infamous stabbing incident happened in Hall H on Saturday, July 24th, I was treated to another favorite of mine, Milla Jovovich and Screen Gems’ Resident Evil: Afterlife.  Milla’s battle with the Umbrella Corporation reaches new heights when Alice dukes it out in “real” 3-D, not the fake kind.  Writer/director Paul W. S. [...]

Thoughts on the ‘Resident Evil AfterLife’ Trailer?

I never was a big Resident Evil fan.  I never even played the original video games.  It took a woman at work to convince me to give them another try.  So like usual, I fell in love with them upon my second viewing.  My wife was nice enough to pick up the trilogy Blu-ray set [...]

A Not So Perfect Getaway

As my title implies, this movie should be called A Not So Prefect Getaway.  Bam!  Wow!  What a way to start off a movie review.  I guess the pressure is off from me having to craft and write three acts to this story, as you all know where this review is going and how it [...]
