Movie Review: Resident Evil: Retribution

There's no love lost between me and Paul W.S Anderson's Resident Evil movie franchise. As a longtime fan of Capcom's survival horror/ survival action video game franchise, I'll be the first one to tell you that the films have absolutely NOTHING to do with the continuity set in the games its loosely based on. However, what I can tell you right now is that I have developed a huge amount of respect for the Milla Jovovich flicks based on one aspect that continuous to be prevailant with each installment - continuity. The latest film, Resident Evil: Retribution, is the fifth entry to the series, and picks up where things left off. Is it worthy to see Alice back in the big screen? Find out here in this review, and special thanks goes to Columbia Pictures Philippines for the screening!

Movie Review: The Expendables 2

The boys are back and all hell breaks loose as PURE AWESOME TESTOSTERONE ACTION hits with The Expendables 2! Sylvester Stallone and his ragtag team of action star mercenaries are back for the kill in this sequel to the 2010 hit, and while Sly isn't back in the director's chair for this one, Con Air director Simon West takes his place and injects more adrenaline, intensity, and machismo into this one than any other action movie fan of the 80's and 90's can endure! You have all the names to lay claim to fame, which in addition to Stallone include Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Terry Crews, Randy Couture, Chuck Norris, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Bruce Willis, and the former Governator himself, Arnold Schwarzenegger! So if you have any doubts in place, here's a review for the books to cash in on why The Expendables 2 is bigger, better, and badder than ever! SPOILERS after the jump, so read at your own risk!

Movie Review: The Bourne Legacy

The Bourne franchise finally continues this month with a new installment in the saga now playing in theaters via "The Bourne Legacy". Directed by the series' mainstay screenwriter Tony Gilroy, this film based on Robert Ludlum's action-drama espionage series is the first spin-off title, with Matt Damon not reprising his role as main character and star Jason Bourne. Instead, the spotlight now focuses on a new character, Aaron Cross, who's played by the equally talented and tough-as-nails actor Jeremy Renner. Last seen as the sharpshooting superhero Hawkeye in Marvel's The Avengers, Renner aims to fly to solo and fight for his survival in this film, with Rachel Weisz and Edward Norton also co-starring as scientist Dr. Marta Shearing and Ret. USAF Colonel Eric Byer. With the decks stacked with proven hollywood stars, does this film compliment or offshoot the franchise?

SPOILERS of course, so read on at your own risk and find out in this short but sweet review.
