As long as she has hair, I don't care about the color. I just can't stand girls with either butch hair cuts or bald-shaven. I think I found an incentive to go see this movie before it comes out on dvd. I actually liked Resident Evil the movie. Never have played the games, though.

After seeing those pictures of beautiful Sienna Guillory, I could resist no longer. So today I went and saw Resident Evil: Apocalypse. I just got home from watching it.

**** WARNING: SPOILERS! ***
Well, there really couldn't be much spoilers, as this is a completely mindless movie [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Cold.gif[/img]. The story goes like this: The guys in Umbrella Corporation [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/icon49.gif[/img] decide to open the doors to the Hive to see if it's safe to go in there now. When they open the doors the T-virus gets out and infects the entire city of Raccoon [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Racoon.gif[/img]

. Everybody starts turning into zombies. The corporation quarantines the city and lets nobody out. Alice, Jill Valentine (Sierra Guillory

), along with a couple of other guys fight their way out. Then Umbrella nukes the whole city. [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Poison.gif[/img] [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/icon49.gif[/img] ...that's it.

The only reason to see this movie is to see Sienna. She is so beautiful... [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Rose.gif[/img] I thought she is exceptionally attractive in the black uniform at the end of the movie

. She can fight, too!

They also blow up my City Hall (Toronto City Hall) in the movie Resident Evil: Apocalypse, which represents the bad corporate guys headquarters just like in real life! [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Cold.gif[/img]

Try "Big Fish" if you haven't seen it. Quirky father-son pic from Tim Burton. It's like a different movie... every ten minutes! Good for the short attention span in all of us.

I have to agree though I suspect it's not everyone's "cup of tea". I thought it had a good ending (that I'll not give away).

Just picked up THX-1138. Hope to see it in the next couple of days. I saw it once years ago, but this is the Version that George Lucas originally came out with before the studios cut it. Can't wait until next week until the original Star Wars trilogy comes out.

Just saw the Shogun TV miniseries on DVD. A little grainy for a few seconds here and there, but overall a decent transfer if nothing spectacular. One of the few cases that a story is one of my favorite books and one of my favorite miniseries.

Went and saw Sky Captain And The World of Tomorrow and Resident Evil: Apocalypse this weekend. You HAVE to see Sky Captain. It is a great movie, and most reviews I read compared it to Raiders of the Lost Ark. It does have that kind of feel to it. And what's really amazing is that all of the backgrounds and most of the environments you see on teh screen are all computer generated. The only distracting thing for me is that the actors's faces looked kind of faded sometimes, like something you'd see in a black & white film that's been colorized. Just something I noticed and kind of bugged me, but didn't really distract from enjoying this film. The only really annoying thing in the film is Gwyneth Paltrow's acting. Most of it was wooden and forced, as if she's saying I'm just doing this for a paycheck. It wouldn't be so sad, but you know she's an Oscar winner, and expect better from her.

Resident Evil was ok, and kind of expounded on the events in the first movie. Won't give out any spoilers, but you find out why she was awoken from her "coma" at the end of the film, and why the city looked like a war zone. It's an ok film, but not up to the quality of Sky Captain.

That kinda black&white look is intentional, according to something I read in the newspaper.
