‘Resident Evil: The Final Chapter’ Review: One More for the Road

Philip Brown — Fri, 27 Jan 2017 19:00:44 +0000

It’s hard to believe that anyone involved in 2002’s ‘Resident Evil’ ever imagined they’d still be adding chapters 14 years later. Easily the most successful franchise in the much-maligned genre of videogame adaptations, ‘Resident Evil’ continues to thrive at the global box office. Now, Paul W.S. Anderson and his wife Milla Jovovich have a final...

Now Playing: Oh Where Do We Begin, the Rubble or Our Sins?

Philip Brown — Fri, 21 Feb 2014 14:00:37 +0000

For years, Paul W.S. Anderson has been dismissed as “that other Paul Anderson.” Fair enough. When you share a name with the best director of your generation and your highest profile works are adaptations of the ‘Mortal Kombat’ and ‘Resident Evil’ videogames, that’s just going to happen. However, recently folks have finally started to notice...

Weekend Movies: The Fish and the (Un)Dead

Luke Hickman — Fri, 14 Sep 2012 16:00:31 +0000

The only new films that I’d care to see this week aren’t playing anywhere near me… for now. I’m certain that the majority of you are limited to the same wide releases that I am. They’re not awful options, but nor do they inspire me to leave my home. Believe it or not, the widest...

Weekend Box Office: Abnormal Activity for a Horror Franchise

Luke Hickman — Mon, 24 Oct 2011 15:00:19 +0000

Horror sequels usually make money, but it’s rare to see a franchise’s third installment break the series opening record by $14 million, raking in a total of $54 million – $8 million of which came from Thursday night midnight showings. The ‘Paranormal Activity’ franchise is every studio’s dream. Each year, you make one movie for...

The Trailer Park: Musketeer Spies on the Moon

M. Enois Duarte — Thu, 14 Jul 2011 17:00:58 +0000

This fall, we’re going to get a really varied selection of movies. Only one of them looks highly promising, even though the least of them is more likely to draw a crowd. First we get a found-footage tale of a secret moon landing that exposes the reasons why NASA never returned, followed by another swashbuckling...

Now Playing: Why I Walked Out of ‘Resident Evil: Afterlife’

Drew Taylor — Mon, 13 Sep 2010 15:00:22 +0000

So this isn’t technically a review, because I didn’t watch the whole movie. I’ll say that I watched about forty minutes of the new, oh-no-zombies-all-over-the-place sci-fi/horror yarn ‘Resident Evil: Afterlife’ before bailing. It was a late showing on Friday night, I was not in the mood, and I knew there was a whole stack of...

Weekend Movies: ‘Resident’ In

Drew Taylor — Fri, 10 Sep 2010 15:00:23 +0000

So this is the lull between the blockbuster summer and the more prestigious fall. Whew. Times are tough. There is basically only one major new release this week, and it’s one that almost all of us could do without. (I didn’t get a chance to see it early because I had other things to do...
