Movie Mondays!


While I had a lukewarm reaction to the other parts of this trilogy, I found the final installment of the Resident Evil series just plain old matinee fun. A hybrid of the Romero Living Dead movies with elements of Mad Max thrown in for good measure, there’s enough here to warrant a watch. It’s not high-art and the story is stretched as thin as could be but, it reminds me very much of the kind of old-time, Saturday gore-fest I grew up watching. I found I liked the fact that certain scenes were played (shot and edited) almost exactly like the video game quite entertaining. The performances are good for this type of feature, mostly they’re two dimensional cutouts but, then again that’s the kind of movie this is. It won’t challenge you intellectually but, it will give you a bit of escapist fun.

I’m repurposing content by taking my NetFlix reviews and posting them here on the blog. If I could figure out a way to do it, I’d post some kind of link for people to connect and make me their friend on the service. Unfortunately, it isn’t altogether clear how one would do that - so if you know a way, pass it along. In the meantime, I’ve got steady content for at least a year.
