New Avengers - 7/10

A fun animated adventure that sees the children of the Avengers take on their parent's killer and bringer of world subjugation, Ultron. In many ways the Marvel version of Teen Titans without the quasi-anime style. It would certainly merit a TV series should they continue this story. I also kept finding myself trying to tie this with the Ultimate Avengers movie that came before; though no clear evidence is present, its not impossible to think of it that way. The plot is Cartoon Network ho-hum 'kid-power', but fairly straight forward. I enjoyed it overall.

Resident Evil: Extinction - 4/10

Spoilers Ahead: Fucking stupid. You just know they're in trouble when they force down bits from the first (and best) RE film just for a pathetic attempt at continuity. Sorry, doesn't work. RE:E's setting is too far gone from what the first two established. I didn't like RE:A because it followed the game too closely, and in this third installment the movie series abandons game continuity. I'd think that would be a good thing, but now I feel they should have used some game plots. This movie does not know what to do with itself. There are scenes totally disconnected with the rest of the film. It was more like a series of short films; I expect titles saying "Episode One: Alice vs Hillbillies", and "Episode Two: Alice Dreams of Crap". Seriously, the first 5 minutes was utterly useless. Then when an actual plot gets going, you don't care (see how important the five minute rule is?). Characters are killed off seemingly for no reason other than to force an eventual reboot of the series, and Alice's character enters some pseudo Jean Grey-Phoenix level of presentation that I cannot follow as a sympathizer. Oh yeah, her blood was the cure for the T-Virus all along. Paul Anderson, thank you for Mortal Kombat, now stop writing.
