Been watching the Resedent Evil films.
Watched the 2nd one last night, and to be quite honest there were a couple of things I was miffed at. I'm quite partial to a little brain dead (no pun intended) escapism, but this movie didn't know what it wanted to be. It's a sort of combination of the Living Dead movies, Predator, and Escape From New York. Starts off as a bog standard zombie flick, but then forgets all about the zombies to bring on the Nemisis. Seems they remembered it's a zombie flick near the end of the movie, so they shoved on as many as they could. Nemisis Vs zombie stuff would have been fun. Or at least the two threats at the same time. It was a little like watching half a movie, flicking the channel, watching half of the movie on the other station, then flicking back for the last scene of the first movie. Didn't gel for me. Then there was the part AFTER they escaped from the zombies (should I have given a spolier warning there? lol) it just went weird. OK, so we're dealing with a film where a virus reanimates the dead and sends them on a stroll looking for munchies, and where a bloke can be mutated into a 15 foot high killing machine that is a crack shot with a gatlin gun and a rocket launcher, so weird is not all that far away, but there's got to a limit. You can't turn the heroine into a telepathic killer who can kill some dude just by looking into a security camera, and then you don't say how, what she is, how they did it, and why they did it. It's good to set the next movie up, but the way this was done was like "see how cool this is.Now we've run out of ideas, so we'll end this movie here and we'll be back with the next film as soon as we've figured something out". Was the wrong thing to end the movie on IMHO. My worst grumble was the graveyard scene. The small band of survivors find themselves taking refuge in a graveyard, when a shit load of zombies come back from the grave and attack them. Fine, in theory, but remember that it's the T virus that reanimates the dead, so unless someone died of the T virus they are going to stay put. If you're going to make a film like that, you've got to stick to your own rules. Despite the above, it was still a pretty good movie, so i'm not offput giving the 3rd film a look. |

Lake Placid
I expected something crappy, but not that crappy. The only two parts worth mentioning are the crocodile and Betty White who fed her husband to the croc. |

It was not bad, better than I expected, pretty scary. They managed to make the setting look like the 1970s and the actors did a good job, too. There were a few scenes that appeared a little stupid to me but all in all it was an enjoyable horror flick.

Catch Me If You Can as it was on last night and it was very good actually though would of been better if I had been more awake and could of appreciated it more, based on a true story. Fantastic performances from Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks.
