Synopsis: The human race's last hope against apocalyptic obliteration is super soldier Alice (Milla Jovovich), but she's been stripped of her psychic powers. She must form alliances and rally survivors in Raccoon City for the climactic battle against the Umbrella Corporation and its ravenous hordes of the undead. This sixth installment of the video game-inspired franchise is directed by Paul W.S. Anderson
My thoughts: A fitting end to the series(?) it brings back all the favourites but in the end, this is a Resident Evil movie, it doesn't do anything special to separate it from the others but in the end if you are a fan of the franchise this movie will be more than good enough as a swan song(?). The action sequences were tight but the budget obviously took a hit.
Final verdict: 4 out of place BMW Motorcycles out of 5.
Synopsis: t's 2029. Mutants are gone--or very nearly so. An isolated, despondent Logan is drinking his days away in a hideout on a remote stretch of the Mexican border, picking up petty cash as a driver for hire. His companions in exile are the outcast Caliban and an ailing Professor X, whose singular mind is plagued by worsening seizures. But Logan's attempts to hide from the world and his legacy abruptly end when a mysterious woman appears with an urgent request--that Logan shepherd an extraordinary young girl to safety. Soon, the claws come out as Logan must face off against dark forces and a villain from his own past on a live-or-die mission, one that will set the time-worn warrior on a path toward fulfilling his destiny.
My thoughts: Speaking of swan songs, they couldn't have given Hugh Jackman's Wolverine much more than this. It was damn near perfect even if they obviously were stealing some of Deadpool's thunder.
Final verdict: 5 albino mutants out of 5.
Synopsis: Dax Shepard (Hit & Run, TV's Parenthood) and Michael Peña (Ant-Man) star in the action comedy CHIPS, directed by Shepard from his own script. Jon Baker (Shepard) and Frank Ponch Poncherello (Peña) have just joined the California Highway Patrol (CHP) in Los Angeles, but for very different reasons. Baker is a beaten-up former pro motorbiker trying to put his life and marriage back together. Poncherello is a cocky undercover Federal agent investigating a multi-million dollar heist that may be an inside job--inside the CHP. The inexperienced rookie and the hardened pro are teamed together, but clash more than click, so kick-starting a real partnership is easier said than done. But with Baker's unique bike skills and Ponch's street savvy it might just work...if they don't drive each other crazy first.
My thoughts: Better than I expected... But that's not saying much. Typical dumb comedy fare but I at least laughed a handful of times to offset the cringe-worthy moments.
Final verdict: 3 accidents out of 5.
