Me and Bad Movies

Sure, I could have gone to see Shoot Em' Up. Instead, I saw the third cinematic masterpiece based on a videogame. Resident Evil, while ultimately void of anything worthwhile, has never ceased to entertain me. I am still ashamed to say that I have paid full price to see the first and third installment. Honestly, it could be blamed on Milla. Deep in my heart of hearts, I know the movie's gonna suck. Having a good-looking lead character definitely sells tickets.

Actually, the worst part of the whole experience is the fact that a nice young family was there enjoying the movie with us. Dad, Mom, little 4-yr old Mary and still-fresh-from-the-womb Billy. What better way to spend your 9:45pm - 11:30pm than watch infected flesh-craving zombies get their heads cut off by young sweet-looking Milla?

PS. Ali Larter was also in the flick...

I'd just rewatched the first one because I forgot so much about it. I'm now in the process of watching the second one for the first time ever so that I can go see the third one in the theater. I like Milla as an actress. Larter being in the movie is actually a negative IMO. But ever since the first video game I loved the series and I thought the movie was good for what it was. So far the second one isn't any better, but not that much worse for me. We'll see how that shakes out as I watch the rest of it in small late night increments.

Shoot Em Up was bad. Very bad. But it wasn't trying to be good, so there you have it. I don't recommend seeing it though.
