Movie Monday: Resident Evil: Vendetta

A lot of Resident Evil fans hate the Resident Evil movies, you know the live action movies with Alice in them. But the animation movies are a bit more popular, probably because their favourite characters show up in them and to be honest they're pretty good! Is Resident Evil: Vendetta also good? Well let's find out!

Chris is our hero?

 So far it was Leon that stole the show in these animation movies, Chris showed up before but now he actually has the main role in this movie and as a Chris fan I like it! You follow Chris when he tries to stop a terrorist and things don't go so well, which then leads him back to an old friend, no no not Leon but Rebecca. Yeah big surprise there, I didn't watch any trailers or anything about this movie so that was a pleasant surprise. So many Resident Evil memories come back, most of them are good ones of course! Later Leon also joins the party and the real action begins!

Creepy and more disturbing Resident Evil movie?

 Already from the first part in the movie you realize that this Resident Evil isn't trying to just give you action, it also tries to freak you out and I must admit that the first part did a good job with that. When they're in the old house you get those mansion flashbacks, I mean as a player watching the movie, and you know that something bad will happen but you don't know exactly what. Then there's a child zombie and you know that things are messed up! Unfortunately the movie turns more into an action spectacle but the first part definitely showed promise for maybe one day a Resident Evil movie that is actually going to be a very creepy movie instead of an action packed movie.

Should you check this movie out?

 As a Resident Evil fan I can definitely recommend this movie, even if you haven't seen the previous movies because this is pretty much a stand alone type of movie. Eventhough the focus is mostly on action it all looks pretty cool. Just watching Chris take out dozens of zombies all by himself with his skills is absolutely amazing and cool to watch. Of course Leon also has his moments and shows off his skills. There are some shock effects but they don't hit that hard on an experienced survival horror fan, but I do welcome the attempts of the movie trying to make you uncomfortable at least. I had fun watching this movie and if you're not interested in buying then you can always rent it. I think that most Resident Evil fans would like this movie.

Button bashing

It seems that more and more games want you to smash on the buttons of the controller, which seems like fun but knowing that this weak piece of plastic can´t handle much it´s not the smartest way to handle your controller. In the good old arcade days I could smash on buttons, ok nothing too crazy but at least those machines had a lot more resilience than these weak controllers we have now. You have to pay a small fortune for one of them and they fall apart with the slightest bit of force you use. After smashing a couple of controllers out of frustration I learned to be careful with them, but when games force you to be an agressive button basher it doesn´t really help. Button bashing is nothing new but I do seem to see it in more and more games, even games that could easily do without this abusive way of treating your controller. Instead of button bashing people came up with the idea to press a certain series of buttons in a sequence, I first saw this in God of War which was fun. But s...

Movie Monday: Mr & Mrs Smith

There are movie that might not look good at first, when you hear about it, but once you see the movie then you know that it's a fantastic movie. What really made Mr & Mrs Smith so good was the acting of the two main stars in the movie, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. They had so much fun making this movie that it's an absolute joy to watch the movie. Which is good news for people that are looking for a fun movie to watch! Married to a spy? The story of Mr & Mrs Smith is pretty simple, a man is a spy and marries to a woman not knowing that she's a spy too. Apparently both of them are unaware of eachothers activities until their paths cross in their spy life, which leads to a lot of fighting and explosions. It's really not the action that makes this movie so much fun to watch but it's the humour. Mr & Mrs Smith is the type of movie that shows that a movie can be ten times better when the actors are actually enjoying themselves making this movie, instead ...

Sinful Sunday: Why are you so serious?

When I play a game I don't want to be serious, I just want to have fun and relax. Honestly real life is serious enough and I don't need that in games. Who cares who wins or who loses, just have fun and that already makes it great! Unfortunately there are gamers that take certain games way too serious, so serious that they literally forget to have fun which is quite frustrating to deal with. These kind of players are so serious that they probably left the fun behind when they started the game. Sigh... Serious gamers are lame gamers? There is nothing wrong about being serious, but I think there is a time and a place for everything. When I play a game with my friends then I'm not being serious nor am I serious when I start up some random multiplayer match. Sure it's nice to win but it's not everything! Things become more serious when there is something at stake, for example in ranked matches or during a tournament. I understand that things are more serious there an...
