326: Resident Evil 2 - Apocalypse




The apocalypse is here! Now we get to the real down and dirty, the virus has spread to society and Alice finds out she has it within her. Another Umbrella corporation experiment. I did cosplay as Alice at Salt Lake Comic Con a few years back, but it wasn't from this movie. It was from the 3rd, which I don't have. I love these movies so much, even though I do agree that the final one could have been better...not as great as it was hyped up to be, still like it. I just haven't gotten around to gathering them all yet in my movie collection.

My favorite part has to be this scene pictured above. Her entrance on the motorcycle, taking down those mutated creatures and showing up all the town folk with her awesomeness. Sorry Jill Valentine, but Alice has you beat just ever so slightly. I mean she does have the T Virus now that enhances her capabilities as a fighter. I do love that Olivera is played by Oded Fehr. I LOVE HIM!!!! In case you don't remember, he was from The Mummy and The Mummy Returns. I fawned over him in that movie too, probably more so with the longer hair.

The one part that I do have a hard time watching in this, is the scene in the classroom with the reporter. Those zombie kids just gave me the willies. Another thing before I end this, I do have to say that I am kind of peeved about how they say how the T Virus was created in this movie and how the daughter was used as a reference for the Red Queen, but then in the future movies they sort of refute that. It bugs me. You can't just change information that has determined the apocalypse and how things have played out, because you didn't like it. You are creating a series here and things have to be consistent. Work with what you have been laying down or given. Mini rant over. Time to move on.

397-461 The End

Last and final mass movie post! I finally did it guys/gals, I completed my movie goal today!!!! I can't believe that I watched 461 movies in one year! I also can't believe I own that many movies! Now I did give some away and weeded some out, but I mean, seriously. This is insane and I am so proud of myself. Finally completing something that I said I would do, that is so huge. The feeling of doing something like this and going through it, I know that someone can do anything as long as you are determined. There were days that I just didn't want to watch the next movie in line, I wasn't in the mood for it and I had to just do it. I will procrastinate like no other, but I somehow forced myself. Here are the remaining movies of the goal: THAT IS IT! Can you believe it? Now the moment of truth, the picture of my movies to show you that ye

168: Hobbit - The Battle of the Five Armies

First off...HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!! Now I can get into the movie. This is my 2nd time seeing this one and I forgot that two people died at the end and not just Kili. I mean I cried, I cried really hard when the Elf King told her the reason why it hurt so much was because her love for him was real. My big emotional scale through this movie was, anxiety from all the battle going on, to "come on Thorin, get your head out of your ass", to "YAY THORIN IS BACK", to back heartbreak at the death of Fili, Kili and Thorin, to glad the war was over and Bilbo could go home...of course only to find out his personal effects were being auctioned off. I mean I know there is a lot of CGI in this movie and this one is my least favorite, but not because of that reasoning that is so many others'. I think it is because now they have to defend what they quested for and a lot of death. I mean you can't have a happy ending without fighting for it, but I definitely prefe

327: Riddick

Back to basics. To the animal side. The Furian side. Let's be honest here, the dog stole the show. We all want Riddick's dog, that one, not his brother or his sister, that dog. Now that that is cleared up, I do like that they went back to the rated R that this movie is and deserves. Yeah I do love the Chronicles of Riddick movie, a lot and it is my favorite, but there is something lacking. With this you also get the whole survival of the fittest, lone wolf, in the middle of nowhere man trying to find his home and who he is again. It also wouldn't be Riddick without throwing it back to the Pitch Black days. Aliens that come out in the cover of darkness or in this case, rain. Then you also get the father of the man who was being a douchebag in Pitch Black. You know, the one that wanted to kill the girl to save his own skin? Yeah that one. Glad to know that his father is a better man than he was, but kind of sad to watch him find out the horrible thing about his son.
