Paul WS Anderson's RESIDENT EVIL series (2002-2017)
Well, thanks to Zach Cregger and his sensational adaptation of the video games, I realized now would be the time (and what else am I doing with myself except getting by day to day as best I can) to watch the previous Resident Evil movies (not counting "Welcome to Raccoon City" from 2021. I got to draw the line somewhere...) and frankly, sometimes, many times, cinephiles need their bags of Cheesy Puffs and Doritos and Monster energy drinks; pure carbo-junk extravagance! How did it go? Well.... Resident Evil (2002) "When I get out of here... I think I'm gonna get laid." Ok! Not as awful as I remembered, though "good" is such a strong word in cases like this. Guilty pleasure but bornerline; Paul "WS" Anderson made an... adequate to plodding and then sometimes intriguingly schlocky thriller with some performances that wholly suck the life out of a room and others that have a little pathos (Jovovich and Rodriguez). Any time there is expositio...
