resident evil: afterlife
Sometimes you feel like a popcorn movie, and sometimes you don't. Of course sometimes you do, and you just don't even get that.
Resident Evil: Afterlife is, if such a thing exists a waste of popcorn, as well as a waste of admission. The movie, if I can call such a thing even that, is the horror rendition of the sequel to Charlie's Angels. By this I mean it makes little sense, and is chalk full of Ali Larter and Mila what's-her-name making super model faces and killing things. Not that this franchise will ever win any gold statues, but it seems to be getting dumber. Here's a thought: if your core audience is too stupid and shallow to watch a movie for anything other than the questionable hotness of the cast, then this movie should not be made.

“...There are so many ways of being despicable it quite makes one's head spin. But the way to be really despicable is to be contemptuous of other people's pain. You ought to have some apprehension that the man you see before you was once even younger than you are now and arrived at his present wretchedness by imperceptible degrees.”
-James Baldwin
they do a great job on the makeup and gore, and i would say based on other movies of the genre, even a good job (usually) in casting and acting. this one, though, like i said just seemed like the sequel to charlie's angels with zombies.

I have a strange love for Zombies and all in all it wasn't a bad Zombie movie and the Resident Evil franchise has generally done a swell job when it comes to the Undead. I appreciated the 3d affects and makeup work.
Plus getting in for free helped, i sure as shit wouldn't have shelled out 12 bucks.
There weren't really that many zombies in it though. Aside from a shot every now and then to let you know the building was surrounded by them. They might as well have just said "The building is now surrounded by SHARKS and they can't go outside."
That's all the zombies were, was the excuse to keep them in the building.
Then they had to go and try to do a Pyramid Head rip off. ughhh
every time they had something coming at the screen I just yelled "Look! It's 3D!"
The first Resident Evil film was a fucking clown-shoe. I've never been interested in the sequels although i did catch a glimpse of the second film on tv. The clip involved Milla Jovavich engaged in a fist-fight with Nemesis... Now we come to the fourth and i'm still not interested. I loved the games, 1 to 4 at least. They are an important part of my life. I'm a big movie fan but these movies just don't reflect the importance, originality and brilliance of the games. Zombie movies, barring 2 or 3, suck anyways but when i look at the Resident Evil games i think what a waste. Just like any computer game adaption i suppose.
I have never heard anyone else use the term Clown-shoe. I'm glad i'm not alone with that phrase. people always question it.
And the second Movie was embarrassing.

Clown-shoe is a good term, i use it quite often
Its a movie Based on a video game. I didn't have high hopes for this flick and i got what i expected. Zombie filled action and cheesy acting, good old mindless entertainment.
