*But that is something that I am not all that comfortable with, as I don't feel as though Jason X is bad enough to need erasing from the timeline. It has more than it's share of cheese, but it also features some of the most inventive kills of the series, plus it had a tip of the mask to the most iconic kill of the series.

2.) 'The Thing' (1982)
3.) 'Alien' (1979)

I hear The Omen with Gregory Peck mentioned a lot, which I plan to watch this year, as I missed my window last year. There's just certain movies it feels wrong to watch at any other time than October.

1. Dracula (1931)
2. American Mary (2012)
3. Outpost (2008)

Here's the trailer:
And the latest poster:
Perhaps most importantly, the duo revealed that they now have a plan in place and will be moving forward in the near future so that we can get another Friday the 13th entry. They explain, “It will be eight years since we made the last one. I’m here to say that we found the location. We have found the lake, we have found the camp. We found an amazing script by Aaron Guzikowski. Breck Eisner is directing the movie. That movie is shooting in early Spring.”
With a bit of luck, by this time next year, the film will have been released.
Royale’s Zombie-thon!
I love zombies. Loved them before The Walking Dead came out. So instead of watching Live and Let Die this All Hallows Eve, yesterday I decided to have me a zombiethon.
Starting with -
Resident Evil, 2002
This is a proper little gem of a movie. I admire it, even if some of the special effects have dated. Plus, there is always the matter of Milla Jovovich. There’s a good cast to RE – Colin Salmon, James Purefoy and Michelle Rodriguez.
Recently I’ve been watching Resident Evil the game and certain shots – angles of the camera I should say - of the movie are clearly taken from the source game. One of my fav zombies movies, it had to be said.
One of the best scenes occurs when a zombie, with his broken ankle, drags around a pick axe. Always manages to creep me out.
Resident Evil: Apocalypse, 2004
I’ve seen this movie once before all the way through before getting the Blu Ray. (£6.99 for the first four RE movies!). I wasn’t very impressed with my last viewing.
Well, until the final act RE.A impressed me. I like how epic they made this one. Whilst the first RE movie was confined to an underground research lab, the 2nd one took in the whole city as the zombie virus was breaking lose. Reminds me of the George A. Romero classics – Night of the Living Dead took place in a farmhouse, while Dawn of the Dead takes places in a mall/city.
Granted the film is more of a mindless 80’s action movie than horror picture, but I had fun all the same. Didn’t like Nemesis though. He was cheesy.
Oh, and Alexander Witt, he from CR, SF and SP, directed RE.A. Who knew!
I may continue this Zombiethon next week. If I don’t get overcome with the lazies.

This has always been my favourite RE movie and this showing only reinforced that fact. As opposed to the 2nd instalment, where that film was a mix of action/horror tropes, this one was mainly rooted in the horror genre. This movie takes pains to remind us of the first instalment, recalling the sets and scenarios from that picture.
I love the desert. Which is handy as most of Extinction takes place in a desert. The isolation makes perfect sense for a group of survivors. Plus it’s pretty.
There isn’t a lot of depth to this movie. Nor should there be. Sure I could nitpick, but take the premise – a genetically altered person is fighting zombies.
Watching Extinction predecessor, Apocalypse, there is a nice bit of continuity – both L.J and Carlos show up. No mention of Jill and the daughter from Apocalypse, however, yet Claire Redfield and Albert Wesker make appearances from the video game.
I first saw this in the theatre with a mate. A chav in front of us said - “She’s fit”. Referring to Milla Jovovich. I hate to agree, but Milla is quite lovely.
A decent way to spend 90-ish minutes.
You liked Black Swan?
I found it kind of boring to be honest and I could see the twist a mile away
One of my fav shots throughout the entire RE saga is the rotational shot Alice and the burning crows. That was pretty epic.
I can barely remember anything from Afterlife, apart from the bathroom fight scene. Which doesn't fill me with a lot confidence. But we shall see when I get to it tonight.
Liked, not loved. The cast were all great—Portman, Kunis, Hershey, Cassel—and I especially liked Winona in her creepy, mentally-cracked has-been role. Mansell's music did a lot of legwork for the film, too. As you say, the film's big drawback is that the ending does nothing the audience hasn't been expecting all along, which is rarely a good thing with this sort of film. To be honest, with three years left to go in the decade, Black Swan will surely drop off my list there (and in fact probably already has, as I saw The Conjuring 2 last weekend and was quite impressed—though it fell a bit shy of the first one).
