On hiatus

I don't mind telling you guys, I'm totally brain-fried. I'm not good for much of anything for the time being, so I figured maybe I'd try and catch up on some overdue writeups. Not a lot has been going on here lately, aside from the usual weekend work, which for some reason totally sucked this week. I dunno...just bad days. So that ate up Friday and Saturday. Sunday I got together with Momz for a little poker and a little dinner out at the Trop. Today I have yet to do anything of substance. Basically I'm just stepping back from the world for a while. Whatever.

Okay, so...behind the scenes, the Video Game Movie Project has been going on, but I've been continuously failing to blog about it. :) So in part one of the catchup process here, let me mention that, after taking a little break for Silent Hill, I got to catch up with the rest of the Resident Evil series.

( The original )

( Degeneration )

In summary, then, Resident Evil (the first movie) remains pretty so-so in my mind, but it belies the coolness of the sequels to follow. The fourth movie, Degeneration, I don't even really think of as a fourth movie; I think of it as a standalone animated feature based on the video games, and a really well-done one, at that. I recommend Degeneration, even if you haven't seen (or didn't dig) the live-action movies, since it's so much its own thing.

So...there ya go. I think that puts a cap on Resident Evil. Next up: the Tomb Raider series.
