Resident Evil: Retribution

Posted on by skulkaew

As the T-virus continues to ravage the Earth, transforming the global population into flesh eating zombies, Alice (Milla Jovovich) fights alongside the resistance while unveiling more of her mysterious past. The chase for those responsible for the outbreak takes her from Tokyo to the States to Moscow culminating in a revelation that will force her to rethink everything that she once thought to be true.

Resident Evil, Bravo DesignLinda Barnard of The Toronto Star writes, “It’s all about the thrill of the kill, and Resident Evil: Retribution doesn’t disappoint in that department. Writer-director Paul W.S. Anderson knows that this is a franchise that works, so why tinker? He stuffs 100 pounds of gore into a five-pound sack and keeps jamming it in. Not content to stick with simple impalements and jetting arcs of blood, Anderson ups the ante with x-rays that show bones breaking and hearts being ripped from arteries as the blows land.”

HSX and FilmGo both forecast that Resident Evil: Retribution will earn around $26M-$27M this weekend though I’d like to point out that through out the course of the franchise, each sequel has done better than the movie preceding it. Afterlife, the fourth and most recent in the series, opened at $26.6M, but Retribution is being shown in fewer theaters. I predict that the movie will open in excess of estimates but shy of the $30M mark.

Rating: R // Genre: Action, Horror, Sci-Fi // Runtime: 1 hr. 35 min. // Starring: Milla Jovovich, Sienna Guillory and Michelle Rodriguez // Directed and Written by: Paul W.S. Anderson// Produced by: Davis Films/Impact Pictures (RE5) and Constantin Film International // Distributed by: Screen Gems

Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter

Posted on by Daniel Arriola

Abraham Lincoln, Bravo DesignAbraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter, an adaptation of the best-selling graphic novel by Seth Grahame-Smith, opens with Abraham Lincoln, as a boy, witnessing the shocking death of his mother at the hands of a vampire. As a young man, he swears vengeance and, incidentally, Abe (Benjamin Walker) later meets veteran vampire hunter, Henry Sturgess (Dominic Cooper), who apprentices him in the craft of killing the undead. Abe’s weapon of choice? An axe with a silver blade. Eventually, he finally puts his on the backburner in favor of politics becoming the 16th President of the United States. He’s only brought back to this conflict when the Civil War erupts, and he learns that vampires are backing the South.

Roger Ebert writes, “Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter is without a doubt the best film we are ever likely to see on the subject — unless there is a sequel, which is unlikely.” The film opens on June 22, 2012 and is predicted to open at around $20M domestically by the LA Times. 20th Century Fox is anticipating an opening of around $16M.

MIB 3 and Chernobyl Diaries

Posted on by Daniel Arriola

Men In Black Bravo DesignAgents J (Will Smith) and K (Tommy Lee Jones) are back in MIB 3. When K’s archnemesis, Boris The Terrible (Jemaine Clement), breaks out of prison, Borris immediately travels back in time to take his revenge on the MIB agent who captured him. Back in the present, J is the only person who remembers K’s existence, and in an effort to save his partner as well as the whole planet, he also travels back to 1969, where he partners with a younger K (Josh Brolin), to stop Boris’ plan.

A.O. Scott of the New York Times writes, “Even as the movie carefully fulfills its blockbuster imperatives — with chases and explosions and elaborately contrived plot twists — it swerves into some marvelously silly, unexpectedly witty and genuinely fresh territory.”

Genre: Action, Comedy, Sci-Fi
Runtime: 1 hr. 46 min.
Starring: Will Smith, Tommy Lee Jones and Josh Brolin
Directed by: Barry Sonnenfeld
Written by: Etan Cohen, Lowell Cunningham, David Koepp, Jeff Nathanson and Michael Soccio
