Movie Weekend
I had a movie weekend this weekend.
First I watched Cabin in the Woods. I really liked this movie. If you haven’t seen the movie you might now want to read what I have to say about it. I thought it was really cool about the fact that it was a twist on the whole woods horror thing in how there were people behind controlling some aspects and the fact that they choose the big bad that is coming after them by what they chose in the basement. The need for sacrifice and all the other areas that failed and what happens if they all fail. I really liked it. I thought it was a really good movie and a twist on other movies like it.
Resident Evil: Damnation- It is a CGI movie. It is the second Resident Evil CGI movie. The first one took place in an airport. This one takes place in a small Eastern European country. I didn’t like this one as much as I like the live action movies but I think that is because no Alice (Milla Jovovich). If you really like Resident Evil though then I really think you should check this out.
I am Legend – This movie has been out for a few years. I am not sure why I have put off watching it for so long. This movie was actually pretty good. I like the alternate ending better then the original ending after watching both of them. This movie centers around Robert Neville who is trying to cure a virus that he is immune to. He is now the last human survivor in what is left of New York City and he thinks he might be the last man on earth. The lack of human contact has made him a bit weird where he is talking to manikins.
The Tourist – This was my third time watching this movie. I love this movie. Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie together in the same movie….great movie. Elise (Angelina Jolie) sits next to an American tourist, Frank (Johnny Depp), on a train going to Venice. She has chosen him as a decoy, making believe that he is her lover (Alexander Pearce) who is wanted by police. Not only will they need to evade the police, but also the mobster whose money her lover stole. Even after knowing all the twists and turns I still love watching this movie.
Prometheus- I can totally see how this is a prequel in the same “world” as aliens. I really don’t have a lot to say about this movie. I enjoyed it but really not to much to say about it. If you like the alien movies then you should watch this.
Marvels Avengers – Iron Man, Captain America, the Hulk, Thor, Black Widow, Hawkeye, and Loki all in one movie. Loki thinks he has a plan to rule the earth and all the others come together to stop him. Stan Lee even has a cameo appearance in the movie. Joss Whedon is awesome so when he is in charge of a TV Show or Movie it is awesome.

I Am Legend is a GREAT book if you like to read. Per usual, much better than the movie.
Have you seen “The Last Man on Earth”, with Vincent Price, which was based on the book “I am Legend”. It’s old, because I remember he drove about a ’57 Ford.@AncoraImparo -
@dingus6 - I had no idea ‘Last Man on Earth’ was based on that book! I’ll have to see it. Thanks!!!
@AncoraImparo - Maltin’s movie guide says “Omega Man” (with Charleton Heston) is also based on I Am Legend. As I remember, OM was corny, even for the ‘ 70s. There was an Angela Davis type character and a subtle reference to Woodstock. It used to play a lot at drive-in theaters as the 3rd or 4th feature. Kristen may have missed it, since there weren’t many Amish drive-ins.
I’m gonna get hold of all 3 versions and have a post apocalyptic dystopian zombie film festival. Thanks to both of you for bringing this up!
@dingus6 - a zombie film festival sounds DELIGHTFUL!! I highly suggest Romero’s films. (Night, Dawn, and Day of the Dead)
@AncoraImparo –
