I disagree with you Tom. I think zombie movies rule. Though I wasn’t too impressed with Milla’s latest photo spread in Maxim (eat a cookie already,) I think she rules too.
RE was a bit dumb, but if you view it with your B movie goggles on, it fairs better than most thriller/horror movies. It’s campy, but it’s fun and I enjoyed it.
I used to hate horror movies, but I think that changed somewhere over the span of six summers when I worked at Wal-Mart. I guess fantasizing that something like Dawn of the Dead or even Red Dawn would happen, sending me to sporting goods to tear things up made the time pass by more quickly. For that I have movies like this to thank.
I will be seeing Resident Evil: Apocalypse this weekend if I can.

Well, I didn’y make it to the theater this weekend to see Resident Evil: Apocalypse, but I guess it will wait for me. I did see a few others at home though. Here is a quick recap:
Intolerable Cruelty – I enjoyed this Coen Brothers movie, though I don’t see it having the replay value of some of their previous films.
Naqoyqatsi – I rounded off Godfrey Reggio and Phillip Glass’s trilogy by watching this third installment of music and images. This is the second best in the trilogy, with Koyaanisqatsi: Life Out of Balance being the most innovative.
Blow Up – “This is a bad movie, you know that, right?” Patti said before bailing out on this one. I agreed, until I completed watching this and thought about it for a few minutes. I watched the trailer after I finished viewing this film which confirmed that I did understand the point they were trying to make. A little long, with spans that include little dialogue or even conceivable plot, this film is stylized enough to grow on you. You spend the first twenty minutes thinking “Why am I watching this?” but stick with it. Think art film rather than Hollywood Blockbuster. I guarantee Mike Myers has seen this film, as a few of the scenes reflect Austin Powers.
