Resident Evil: Extinction

Resident Evil: Extinction.. Alles, oder Nichts!Directed by Russell Mulcahy, written by Paul WS Anderson (RE 1 and 2). Starring Milla Jovovich, Ali Larter, Oded Fehr, Mike Epps and an unecessary cameo by Ashanti.

Claire was the leader of a troop of survivers of Racoon City and on the way they met Alice, who had developed more and became more powerful. Alice then joined the group to Alaska and continued her fight with Umbrella Corp.

Cheap. Why have I been watching a lot of cheap movies lately? Well.. didn't really enjoy the movie.. kinda bored after the first fifteen minutes. Ashanti was WTF?! Milla Jovovich was hot but that's about it. Danny Boyle made all other zombie movies look lame.

Hors de Prix

Directed by Pierre Salvadori, starring Audrey Tatou and Gad Elmaleh.

Irene was a gold digger, wearing mini skirts and seducing old millionaires, ripping them off. She was then already settled with the very rich (and drunk) Jacques, but that was when she met Jean, a bartender who she mistaken as another millionaire, and had a one night stand with him. But one year later they met again and things started to get more twisted.

I loved this film. Well, hated the first one-third of it, but absolutely loved the rest. It was so funny, interesting, upbeat and fun! Didn't expect it to be so funny but it really was. To see Jean develop was really really fun. Audrey Tatou's dresses were absolutely gorgeous and she looked sexy and classy, and the guy was kinda cute too. This movie really is a must-see.. sort of. Well, I am a sucker for romantic comedies. Would absoultely love to see it again.

8.5 / 10.

No Reservations

Directed by Scott Hicks, starring Catherine Zeta-Jones, Aaron Eckhart and Abigail Breslin.

Kate is the executive chef of the very posh 22 Bleecker restaurant in Manhattan who only cares about her career and not really having a social and/or love life. That all changed when her niece came along and lived with her and a rival chef Nick threatened her position at the restaurant.

Saw it because 1) I think Catherine Zeta-Jones is one of the most beautiful females ever to grace the screen, and 2) I'm a sucker for romantic comedies. So, I liked this movie. Not exactly a romantic comedy because it had a lot of sad (and touching) scenes. But anyway, it is still romantic, Aaron was so charming, Catherine was OH so beautiful (eventho she did look older, but still, beautiful), Abigail did good and since I'm interested in all things culinary-related, this movie entertained me.
