Watched Resident Evil last night on DVD. Funny movie. It sucked pretty hard, although with a little intelligence and wit, it might have been a pretty good movie.



Milla Javovich is absolutely stunning. And in a stunning turnaround from zombie movie tradition, the tough black hero is mulched early on. But the movie is also strangely squeamish. It was rated R, right? Then why are they cutting away from a character's eminent decapitation, to the other characters looking away in disgust? Especially in a movie where we find out near the end that Ms. Javovich shaves her public hair?

Here's one improvement they could have made: The scene where Milla is confronted by the pack of mutant zombie dogs, it would have been a lot better had she turned around and they were all sitting, wagging their tails before attaking.

That's why I should be writing screenplays.
