The last film you´ve seen and your thoughts about it

Revolutionary Road. Hmm....instead of popcorn and soda I should have gotten a straight razor and a warm bath.

Was the movie that good or that bad?

I'd say both. It's very well played, but sometimes the emo is just over the roof. It's no spoiler, you can tell right from the start this Paris dreamland escapade is a disaster in the making, but they went the extra mile and then some with it. It's worth seeing it, but I don't know in what context, or why, really.

The Forbidden Kingdom. Good to see Jet Li and Jackie Chan together. The movie was a romp with a lot of martial arts and typical dry humor. Li Bing Bing is beautiful! Too bad she was the evil demon witch.

We also saw Journey to the Center of the Earth. Not bad, but obviously not anywhere near the original. Still, it was fun and B.F. was his usual comedic and adventurous self.

Next is Iron Man.

you won't regret that one. Robert Downey Jr. is amazing! He is really shaping up well these days and doing a lot of great flicks.

-Cub. =o)

Yeah, even though I'm not a Downy fan, Iron Man was a good movie...


I watched Resident Evil: Degeneration, over the weekend... It's an animated addition to the Trilogy, their is another animated one coming out in March I believe... It was okay, it was kind of like playing Resident Evil Code Name Veronica without playing... If you aren't a Resident Evil fan, you most likely won't like it, obviously... It starts off in an Airport and then branches out to a research center...

I wouldn't call Degeneration part of the Resident Evil Trilogy, or addition to, since the Trilogy diverted so much from the original storyline. It wasn't bad, though.

It's kind of like a Prequel to Extinction... In the 3rd movie they introduced Claire Redfield and in the Animation they go back a little bit explaining her story, before the world began dying... So it does fit in a little bit, but I see what you're saying...

RE: Extinction was a crap film, no two ways about it.

Matter of Opinion... I've liked them all so far... I'm also a Jovovich fan, I've liked just about everything she has done...

Barton Fink... the most confusing movie I've ever seen.

I've seen it, but can't remember it... I'll stick it on my Netflix list... John Turturro is Hilarious... Thinking of him makes me want to watch Brain Donors again...

It's less a prequel to Extinction, more not a prequel to Extinction. Or...it's unrelated to the live action films entirely. Which is one reason why it didn't suck. Claire Redfield already had a story; that was the second Resident Evil game, where Leon and Claire met for the first time.

James Bond tracks down missing naval technology and fights off Greek mercenaries. Has one of the most pointless openings, ever. Music is a bit too much disco for me.

Yeah, it did kind of feel like what could be either a tie-in between RE:4 and RE:5, or maybe between RE:4 and RE:6.

It seems they alternate between the survivors of Racoon City in every sequel. Maybe it's Claire's turn in RE:6? Who knows?

The movies and games only have a few things in common. Plotelements and characters, mostly. The stories of one series has nothing to do with the other.
