Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

Resident Evil: Extinction

A hell of a lot better then I was expecting. I had all but given up on any hope of this film series surprising me but it proved me wrong, there was some really good stuff in here. Awesome action scenes and some REAL violence for a change.

Alice no longer shoved her "super woman" macho attitude down our throats like she did the last film, and aside from the fact they totally left out explaining what happened to the little girl and Jill Valentine from movie 2, this was a great film.

The birds was probably the best sequence they've ever created in all 3 films, along with the laser hallway sequence from the first movie (which they revisited here and LOVED it).

I have no interest in the RE movies but I must say that it's refreshing to see the hero's weapon(s) of choice is the Gurkha knife. :D

its called a Kukri, traditional Nepalese weapon. Longer versions are used to behead Water Buffalo in a single stroke.

The little 16 inchers can lop an arm off without even thinking about it. Nasty knife/axe thingies.

Well, forgot to say HOW you win her heart. In order to win the game you have to make her dream about you as she dies from the fumes of the lighters she is selling and the cold of the winter freezing her

So then this movie was yet another modern day remake of a classic story.

My wife hates the Matchstick girl story. (It gives her the creeps.)

you are correct, in fact, they are standard issue for the "Gurkhas" which are a British Special forces group made up entirely of ethnic Gurkhas. Very cool, very tough.

Inspector Gadget

The Matthew Broderick one, and it's just not as good as the cartoon, besides some good parts. The opening titles was the only thing I liked in the movie.

I prefer the second movie (with French Stewart), since it was more true to the cartoon.

"Final Fantasy: The Spirit Within" - Boy was I let down by this when I went to see it in theaters when it first came out. I recently watched it again on SPACE and remembered how much of a dropped ball it was. Advent Children, as unnecessary as it was, is leagues ahead of FF:SW and much closer to the Final Fantasy style.

I watched the unrated & extended "Knocked Up". That movie can only get better as time goes on. I almost peed myself laughing watching it again.
