That looks good. I think the current series with Mila should watch it's back.

Rumor Killed so fast we hardly knew it: Resident Evil Extinction has no demos on the Blu Ray

"Some errant reporting this morning led a few sites—including Sony's own semi-official blog ThreeSpeech—to believe that the Blu-ray disc movie release of Resident Evil: Extinction would ship with playable demos of Devil May Cry 4 and Resident Evil 5 for the PlayStation 3. Sorry, but that's just not true, as Capcom has confirmed.

Users will have to make do with high definition trailers for both games and crystal clear 1080p stills of Milla Jovovich in thigh-revealing outfit."Kotaku...

Actually, the rumor was carried on all most every site. I think even Kotaku.. Hehe! Anyway, I we will just have to be happy with the movie. Unfortunately, the whole thing was kind of destined for falsehood from the beginning. Devil May Cry 4 might be done enough for a demo eventually but Resident Evil 5? That is circa holiday 2008. Silly rumormongers!

Alternet the uninformed and crazy seems to extend beyond Jack Thompson

The article on Alternet can be found here.
The article talks about how Resident Evil Extinction is a racist movie based on a racist video game series.
Well, this is an interesting statement because up until Resident Evil 4 there were only white people in Resident Evil. So I guess the Japanese developers are racist against white people. As a white person, I don't mind...
Resident Evil 4 took place in a Spanish village and area which pretty much makes it impossible not to have Spanish speaking zombies. Just like if it took place in a German village; the villagers would be speaking German. Not really racist right?
Finally, in Resident Evil Extinction there are African Americans among the zombies but very few are really seen on screen at once, if much at all. Perhaps I'm too racial ignorant because I didn't notice it at all. I do remember seeing a large number of white people as zombies, as I expected.
At the very least Roberto Lovato was being ignorant and inflammatory in this article. Personally, it just seems like a reaction to the allegations that Resident Evil 5's trailer was racist. Which hasn't gotten much traction. Therefore, we need to move on to the next thing that seems like the same thing. Which many alarmists and people like the infamous Jack Thompson like to do. These people usually have a loud voice and a good place to use that voice.
I hope Mr. Lovato will do more research on his stories before he writes them. As journalists it is our responsibility to get all the FACTS before we write a story. It strikes me that Mr. Lovato hasn't ever played Resident Evil, any of them. And probably didn't even bother to watch any of the Resident Evil movies, where African Americans and Hispanic Americans have been supporting cast members. These are token roles, but then video games movies usually equal a token role for minorities. That might be an issue to address, but I doubt it would have the same inflammatory impact that the current article has on his readers.
In the end, I just want to say that these are Japanese made games and they have no concept of racism. The movies ARE made by Americans but I do think that much care is taken in Hollywood to try and make everything politically correct. But all of the criticism would be fine with me; if they were valid. Or if the comments were coming along with proof from the games and films. But that seems to be too much work. I just hope Mr. Lovato never tries to write that kind of fluff for a major news outlet because his editor would be all over him. When a journalist writes a story on the internet it should be taken just as seriously as if it was in a newspaper or magazine. These kinds of stories give a black eye to all the people struggling to be taken seriously in the world of mass media. Thanks Roberto Lovato for making my job harder...

My Undead Heart is about to burst: Resident Evil Extinction leads weekend box office!

"Resident Evil: Extinction Leads Box Office

Sony estimates a $24 million gross for the weekend.
By Andrew Hayward, 09/24/2007

Resident Evil: Extinction, the third film in the game-based film trilogy, opened atop the North American box office this weekend with $24 million across 2,828 theaters, according to studio estimates released yesterday. As reported on Friday, analysts projected a $20-21 million opening weekend for the film, which was budgeted at about $45 million.

Should the estimates hold true, Extinction will have earned just slightly more in its opening weekend than its immediate predecessor, Resident Evil: Apocalypse, which also opened at #1 with $23 million in 2004. According to Box Office Mojo, Extinction sold fewer tickets than Apocalypse, though the rising costs of film tickets made up the difference (and then some). Apocalypse lost steam after its opening weekend, drawing $51 million in total over its domestic theatrical run. We'll be keeping tabs on Extinction to see if it has more staying power than its predecessors.

Dane Cook vehicle Good Luck Chuck met projections with an estimated $14 million over the weekend, landing squarely in the second slot (ahead of last week's top flick, The Brave One, which brought in an additional $7.4 million). Actual numbers are expected to be available later this afternoon -- we'll update if the final numbers diverge significantly from the estimates."1UP....

I also dropped my money on this movie and I have to say that it is the weakest of the trilogy but certainly not a bad movie. I love these movies but I have some problems with this one.

First and foremost in Resident Evil Apocalypse Alice had these incredible mind blowing mental powers. But in this movie she hardly uses them even when Umbrella all ready knows where she is.

Second, the ending was horrible and could easily lead to another movie and this was supposed to be the last one. I'm not even sure I want to see a fourth movie; they completely accelerated a story line that could have been told over at least 6 movies but they decided to make this a trilogy and do a horrible job of telling what happened between 2 and 3. Besides that, never fleshing out Alice's character even though she is basically the main character of the trilogy.

Third, this movie was FAR TOO SHORT! An hour and a half is just not enough for a movie anymore. Most movies with descent stories are at least 2 hours now a days and they could have used this time to prevent the movie from looking like a sequel could be forthcoming.

I would just like to say that as much as I really love Mila and the whole cast of these movies, especially Valentine(Sienna Guillory). But what would have been wrong with doing the actual Resident Evil video game story? I mean it would have taken some editing and probably some modernizing but it could have been a landmark series for movies based on video games.

As much as I'd love to see another Resident Evil movie, I think it probably would be best not to have one. Because after Extinction there really isn't anything left...
