A Good Suspense Film, Whether You Believe in Aliens or not
Advantages: somewhat realistic, good acting, good charcter developement, suspenseful
Disadvantages: Whether the events actually took place is questionable
The Fourth Kind, in theatres as of November, 2009, is an alien movie done in a documentary style, directed by Olatunde Osunsanmi. It tells the story of events that supposedly took place in Nome, Alaska and contains documentary footage of Psych patients who were believed to be abducted by aliens. Throughout the movie, it flashes between old footage and the modern re-enactment, in which Milla Jovovich plays the main character, a psychologist, whose ...
...the strange cases her patients are experiencing. It is definitely a suspenseful film and the documentary style brings it more credibility than a lot of other alien abduction films. Whether it is believable or not is really dependant on whether you have any belief in aliens, but it is a good thriller and mystery story none the less. The characters are believable and they avoid making it ridiculous by keeping the aliens off camera at all points. I ...

Night of the Living Dead: A true classic finally on blu-ray
Advantages: A fantastic way to watch a true classic
Disadvantages: Only one extra, would have been nice to see more
Night of the Living Dead is the daddy of all zombie movies. Yes there may have been films that featured zombies before this but none came close to creating the same world that George A. Romero managed to. A film that manages to truly define the genre and has been imitated ever since. Now for many years you've probably seen countless releases of NOTLD on every format. And apart from the Elite LD and DVD release, many of them have been sub-par ...
...footage (for example the DVD release by Contender). So thankfully Optimum has decided that this classic film is worthy of a proper blu-ray edition. For a low budget, black and white film from the Sixties, this transfer is fantastic. It's very similar to the old Elite DVD but with more detail and better contrast. There is a lot more grain evident but that's to be expected. In fact I'm grateful for the fact they didn't try to digitally remove any film ...

This is not a game!!!
Advantages: Good follow up
Disadvantages: Maybe a newer face would fit this role better!
The T-Virus has escaped containment even after the nuclear destruction of Raccoon City. Drying up the lakes and the rivers the T-Virus could not be contained by The Umbrella Corporation, aswell as infecting the human population and spread to other species. The only human authority is the remaining Umbrella corporations around the world living in hive like structures underground. In the desert remains of the United States Alice (Milla Jovovich) is ...
...Umbrella. Her ability to bond with the T-Virus makes her top priority to be captured by The Umbrella Corporation. Dr. Sam Isaacs (Iain Glen) believes that he can use her blood to develop a permanent cure, as well as tame the infected. Umbrella chairman Albert Wesker (Jason O'Mara) orders Isaacs to create a cure using clones created from Alice's blood. Dr. Isaacs' attempts to domesticate the infected have led to a new breed of zombie but is uncovered ...

Evil in Residence
Advantages: Twists at the start
Disadvantages: You've seen almost all of it before elsewhere
...twist at the end of Resident Evil: Apocalypse doesn't seem to have been used much which may annoy or confuse some viewers who were expecting it to be developed on. There are a few nods back to it now and then and Alice seems to have developed telekinetic abilities as well from no-where (no idea if that was ever used in any of the games having only played 1 of them). There is a lovely old school nod in homage back to the Hitchcock classic "The Birds" ...
...get going and would benefit from a cut of about 20 minutes (where the survivor caravan is established). The action in places is cut a bit too fast to be watchable but the film brings some new ideas to the Resident Evil franchise. (this review also appears on dooyoo) ...

A Sequel to the First Movie, Still The Best!
Advantages: Action, Thriller, Sci - fi
Disadvantages: Still contains lots of disturbing scenes!
Resident Evil 2 is a continuation of the first movie. Here, new characters are introduced and more zombies rule the earth!!!!!!! Weeks after the incident at the underground laboratory, scientists thought it was safe to reopen the 'Hive' but when the team of agents and scientists attempted to open it, high levels of the virus was detected and they were welcomed by zombies! After a while, the infection reached above ground and civilians became the ...
...city full of zombies and there is no way out. The bridges are closed and the city is in complete lockdown. In a matter of minutes, the whole place will be bombed along with the undead. Alice (from the first movie), was infected with the virus but her blood was able to bond with the virus making her stronger but Chris (also from the first movie), mutated and became project Nemesis. The two battle each other proving who's superior as the other characters ...
