cyranoActually, I don't. I want Michelle Rodriguez. She plays a psychopathic special forces hottie named Rain Ocampo in the new Resident Evil film. I was kind of half hoping it would suck so my review could consist of a single sentence: This movie is now useless--Discard?(y/n)
However, RE breaks the 'movies about video games suck' rule, being better than Mario Brothers. It also breaks the 'prequels are lame and sad' rule that Phantom Menace so valiantly fought to preserve. Very tense. Creepy. Lots of cool character stuff--they're not interchangable monster bait. Plus fan service with cameos by stuff from the games, specific examples include 'that god damn train' and the monster butler.
And there were no awful cattle gates or horrid lines or any of the other things I've come to associate with opening night. There was only one phone call during the film, and the audience generally avoided my wrath.
Thank you for taking me, Princess!
