Movie Review: Resident Evil - Extinction:
Yesterday evening, I was watching the movie with one of the fanclub supporter, Xiangrui and even though it was my first time watching a Resident Evil movie, it was quite a spectacular movie of sleek zombie-slaying moves and spine-tingling scenes of zombies gouging on hapless human beings.
The movie revolved around the female protagonist, Alice, who seems to have a special type of blood that can be a possible cure for the T-virus, a world-decaying and zombie-creating disease that was rapidly wiping out the rest of the world. Alice is one kind of a heroine, with very dexterous limbs, wielding mean-looking guns and knives, slicing zombie limbs here and blowing zombie brains there. She even possesses a remarkable and very powerful special talent, which makes her the perfect heroine to save the world.
Although I am not exactly a big fan of horror sci-fi movie (the movie is an adaptation of a series of successful computer role-playing games), I really liked the part where Alice helped a convoy of survivors struggling near-death against a throng of flesh-eating and kamikaze crows in the middle of a desert. Her moves were, in a short phrase, jaw-droppingly impressive.
Make sure you have a stomach to watch people and zombies die though because there will be plenty of such scenes, with enough blood splattered to fill a good-sized desert. Well, I was still holding onto my dinner of Japanese ebi and beef after the movie whilst Xiangrui was busy squirming at the scenes of zombies jumping out from the walls. Maybe I have survived movies like The Exorcist and Doom so this movie did not scare the skin out of me but I still enjoyed the action tremendously.
My review:
Story: ***

Overall: ***1/2
《欠我十块》- 《千里之外》的搞笑版
My thanks to Munich for sending this very funny rendition of the song. I decided to share the video with all of you readers because it's really creative. Warning to the younger readers though - it still contains phrases of violence and bloodshed in some of the amended lyrics so take heart.
Japanese Game Show: Silent Library with Ernesto Hoost
The video was posted more than a year ago and has garned over a million hits. I don't know if some of you have already seen this but I suppose really hilarious game shows won't go stale, no matter how much times one has seen them. Warning: Do not try watching this video with a full stomach or you will risk indigestion from laughing too hard. Do not also try doing some of the forfeits or you may risk injuring your friends or yourself. XD
