horrors

By anders pearson 04 Feb 2003

last night i watched Resident Evil and American Psycho 2.

RE was fun and cheesy. basically a direct ripoff of Aliens but with zombies instead of aliens. it had the strong female lead character surrounded by well trained and equipped soldiers trapped in an enclosed space with some relatively difficult to kill nasties. almost every character from Aliens had an equivalent. there was even a final showdown with one particularly nasty and powerful enemy. strikes against it: 1) complete and total lack of originality 2) uninspired dialog 3) no bishop. what it had going for it: 1) good soundtrack 2) milla jovovich 3) i actually got a kick out of how much it looked like a video game.

American Psycho 2 was just bad. i didn’t expect it to be any good but i was still disappointed. it had no redeeming qualities whatsoever. who’s stupid idea was it to follow up a fantastically good movie with complete crap?
