Resident Evil: Retribution

I went to see Resident Evil: Retribution a few weeks ago. I love the previous films since I received the first one on my birthday. I thought it was a good film, and could definitely see the movie scenarios as a video game, despite the fact the video game plots are quite different. I am desperate to play the games, and have been looking up the gameplay on youtube. I thought that the film was a bit of a fill in the gaps sort of thing, as it set up the final installment of the series. It's not a film you can go and see without seeing the rest of the series, as there is a lot mentioned and significant characters from the last films.

I watched Ed Wood (directed by Tim Burton, starring Johnny Depp) and Dead Man (also starring Johnny Depp) the other day. Ed Wood follows the story of the director Ed Wood. It is a great film, filmed in black and white. I first thought it was going to be pretentious at first, but it turned out to be great. Its acting style and cinematography are done like an old film and the credits are pretty much directly from Plan 9 from Outer Space. Dead Man is also in black and white, with a great soundtrack by Neil Young. The film is interesting in the sense that it is a series of vignettes put together to make a storyline. We follow William Blake in this film, who ends up having to escape from death, and meets an Native American called Nobody along the way.

I definitely recommend you see both these movies, found in the Arthouse or World cinema sections of the video store.
