29. Monster Shark* (aka Devil Fish aka Shark aka Monster from the Red Ocean aka Devouring Waves aka Shark: Red in the Ocean aka It’s probably easiest to just Google “Lamberto Bava Shark movie 1984”) *dvd* I do love me Lamberto Bavas movies and this definitely had all the pieces. Some great 1980’s Italian gore, the same voice dubbing I’m all to familiar with, that poppy music and some great scenery. It’s too bad that it was a little on the slow side. If it was a blood-bath it would have been incredible. Instead it’s just really good. Also, a wonderful precursor to Sharktopus!

86/ Above Suspicion (2019) – Emilia Clarke delivers a pretty darn good performance despite her attempt at a Southern accent being shaky to put it mildly. I was invested enough in the story even though it wasn't great, biggest complaint is the whole twist is a massively overdone trope.
87/ National Lampoon's Don's Analyst (1997) – I was thinking at this point after watching this I may have seen all the National Lampoon's film by now, so I looked it up and it turns out they put there names to a lot more what looks like crap then I thought they did. This is not that funny but honestly it's not without it's little moments. I've never seen Analyze This but I assume this had a similar plot
88/ Malcolm & Marie (2021) – I can't remember what film I was referring to last year but I mentioned about seeing why an actor would want to do a particular script because they know they will get to act and they will get to monologue, this movie is essentially that. This is a two hander starring Zendaya and John David Washington and it certainly as it's some little moments but it's overall just way too pretentious which I lay on the directors rather then the actors.

89/ The Final Countdown (1980) – it's a good enjoyable movie but it's one of those movies which you think could be a bit better given it's a premise where the USS Nimitz is caught in a vortex and goes back in time to just before Pearl Harbor happens. I would say it's worth a watch but I could see people not really interested by this.
90/ Velvet Goldmine (1998) – obviously based on David Bowie, VG is about the life of a glam rock star with great music and men so pretty that if I wasn't bi, would likely be questioning my sexuality even if it's just a little bit. Really liked a lot of the performances in this movie and it was a story I was interested in.

#39 - All About Nina
*Netflix
Mary Elizabeth Winstead isn't someone I would've pegged to nail a role as a stand-up comedian. However, she does a tremendous job and takes an otherwise okay film up a notch with her work. She has good chemistry with Common and her on-stage monologue is fantastic, though it does feel like a big change for the film's tone. [***]

30. Terminator: Dark Fate* *Amazon Prime* This movie was baaaaaaad. Not just the complete erasing of everything post T2 and making the end of T2 pointless. Not just the underlying woken narrative. It’s just a badly written piece of trash. The worst Terminator movie? Genisys was terrible and went in a completely weird direction in the end. But it had some decent parts. This was just a two hour recording of that farting noise a balloon makes while the air is being let out of it. What they really needed to do was completely eliminate Mackenzie whothef***cares from the movie. Her character really only added a little to the beginning of the movie but once Sarah Conner showed up she became a supporting character. And once Arnold showed up she became a background character. She only continued to serve as a link to the new timeline that doesn’t matter now because the sequels have been cancelled. f***ing trash. The plane sequence was at least good for a laugh. And that the entire movie you’re going to be laughing that's the guy they cast as the Terminator??. Dear god they have to stop with this shit. But I know as well as you know that at least one or two kicks at the can are going to happen before Arnold passes away.

I have returned. I mostly have been playing video games, but I have promised that I would binge on these films. I just needed them to come in at the library. I watched these three on Blu Ray, by the way.
25. Resident Evil (2002) - I know many people are divisive when it comes to this film, or the RE films in general. Personally, being that I am rather new to the franchise (not just the games or movies, but in general), all I can say is that I went in with an open mind and tried not to compare it to the games. With that being said, I can say that I enjoyed the film. Regarding this one, I noticed that there weren't any characters from the games, aside from the Umbrella Corporation, and also the inclusions of the zombies, zombie dogs, and of course, those crawling zombies. What was also distracting is how early-2000s this movie was, ranging from the nu-metal soundtrack to the dodgy-by-today's-standards visual effects. Those crawling zombies looked like they were models used for any Resident Evil game that could have been in development (I know that this was still in between Code Veronica and RE4, not counting the light-gun games). But other than that, I found it to be entertaining. Like I said, I went in with an open mind and I had to treat it as its own thing.
26. Resident Evil: Apocalypse - Okay, now I noticed that characters from the games appeared, like Jill Valentine and Carlos Oliveira. Even Jill had her Resident Evil 3 outfit with the tube-top and skirt (I guess they didn't want to use her other iconic look with the S.T.A.R.S uniform?). But of course, I know with these movies focusing mostly on the Alice character, Milla Jovovich returned and her backstory was explained more. I can really tell that the story picked up right where the first one left off as it took place not long after the first film ended. Many of the action scenes were fun, and being that this was a 2000s action film, there were so many quick cuts to the bits involving a spinning weapon, as well as fight scenes with a metal soundtrack in the background. I also can tell that this was inspired by RE3 because apart from Jill and Carlos in it, there was also Nemesis. Speaking of Nemesis, I will give the film credit for using a practical suit for that character. Mike Epps provided comic relief and he didn't feel like a shoehorned-in annoying-type of comedy character, either. Like I said before, if the Resident Evil films are treated as their own thing, then fun can be had. I mean, sure, with a reboot film of Resident Evil on the way, I am sure they'll get it right and make it into a horror film. But with this being an action film, I can't help but enjoy it.
27. Resident Evil: Extinction - I will give this film a lot of credit for a number of things. One, the whole theme worked with its post-apocalyptic setting as it was supposed to be years after the first two films. Another is that they brought in Claire Redfield, another character from the games, as well as brought back Carlos (I had read that one draft of the script had Jill Valentine in it, but Sienna Guillory had to decline because of her commitment to Eragon during that time). I will also give credit to some of the effects like the makeup for the zombies and other characters. And finally, the action scenes were indeed fun to watch, particularly the bit with the crows and the scene in Vegas. The only thing that was a bit odd was that they did more weird things for the backstory of Alice, but seeing as she was the protagonist of the RE films, I can only imagine what they did for her in subsequent films. But out of the three films I watched, I enjoyed this one the most. Not to say that I didn't like the first film or Apocalypse, but I enjoyed Extinction better.
Okay, now I got the first three out of the way. I may do Afterlife, Retribution, and The Final Chapter tomorrow. I also will include the animated films like Degeneration, Damnation, and Vendetta.

14. We Can Be Heroes
A return to the world of Sharkboy and Lavagirl. Except they couldn’t get Taylor Lautner so they just made some guy wear a mask for every scene with him. If you like Robert Rodriguez’s kid movies, this fits in perfectly. It had a couple of weird twists at the end but was still a decent movie.

I loved this series and just bought the entire thing on DVD or Bluray, can’t remember which but I know I did. The threat of rebooting it without Alice sucks

I mean, sure, you had characters from the games in the movies, but I mean making them more like horror movies with some action, as opposed to action-horror like the live-action movies were.

31. Unmasked part 25* *Tubi* I had really high hopes for this but it was sadly just not that good. A horror comedy of a Jason-esc killer meeting a blind woman who loves him for what’s inside could have been hilarious. This was not. It wasn’t honestly more drama than comedy. Some good gore though.

91/ Yes God Yes (2019) – set in 2000, so this as plenty of dial up modem, “You've Got Mail” and A/S/L, starring Stranger Things Natalia Dyer, it reminded me of a few different films including the same religious theme here, all of them had more humour and satire. Weird concidence I was randomly thinking about Mandy Moore's singing career and her song Candy, a song I haven't thought about in years and what plays over the end credits? Film is short and it kills time.
92/ Sylvie's Love (2020) – Tessa Thompson and Namdi Asomugha have good chemistry, but I kind of cared more about Thompson's career in the workplace so I think I would have preferred that to be the film, as it's set in the 50s and beyond there was a more interestign story to tell, but I did like the film it reminded me of the melodramas of years past.
93/ Fierce People (2005) – Some memorable performances from the likes of Donald Sutherland, Kristen Stewart and Chris Evans had me interested as there is clearly something sinister going on in a rich community under the surface but honestly just gets too dark that it loses me.

9. Wonder Woman: Bloodlines (2019) 10. Anastasia (1997)11. Tangled: Before Ever After (2017) 12. X2: X-Men United (2003)I put this in my Disney+ watchlist when I found out it was on the service, then just kinda forgot about it. Watching the latest WandaVision jogged my memory and I figured it was finally time to get to it. Like the first movie, this one is not quite on par with a modern MCU movie, but it is buoyed by some great performances. Definitely worth watching.

#40 - Baby Driver
*Blu-Ray
It’s not just the best film of 2017, it’s the best movie I’ve ever seen. An incredible soundtrack, fantastic direction, strong acting, thrilling heists, and heart pounding action. Not to mention, it’s one of the coolest movies ever made. I love everything about Baby Driver. [*****]

32. Starship Troopers *Netflix (f***ing blows)* The special effects in this have aged surprisingly well compared to other movies of the time. I’d say it’s on par with stuff released in the five years following its release. It’s nice and gory. And a good example of a movie made in the olden times that didn’t have to bash its social justice narrative over your head. Of course it still wouldn’t fly today because...oh, f*** today. And f*** Netflix. The only problem I had watching today was Netflix’s f***ing shit ass service constantly lowering the video quality to “so blurry I may as well watched a third generation bootleg from Taiwan”. f*** Netflix. I’m glad they’re going south.

Round two of my Resident Evil marathon (but not the last round).
28. Resident Evil: Afterlife - Watched this on Blu Ray. I have to say that after Extinction, it seemed that the series went into its own direction. Sure, with the namesake still having the undead and some other creatures, as well as characters like Claire Redfield, Chris Redfield, Albert Wesker, etc., I could say that even without them, these films would be "The Story of Alice," and I don't mean Alice in Wonderland, Alice Through the Looking Glass, etc. You get where I'm going here.
Now with that out of the way, as noted before, I will admit that I like how these films feel like a saga because this took place right where Extinction left off. As for anything else, well, I can say that these movies have their own identity and I can accept them as their own thing. This one had some fun action scenes and also an emphasis on survival and who may or may not make it. I am certain that the hate these movies get are because they're from A) the fans of the games and they didn't get the films they wanted, and/or B) some who just don't enjoy over-the-top action films. I enjoyed it.
29. Resident Evil: Retribution - Watched this on Starz on Demand (more on this in a bit). I will say that I liked that being that this movie came out a decade after the first film, they managed to bring back some actors from the first film, as well as one actor who appeared in Apocalypse and Extinction, and of course, Sienna Guillory returned as Jill Valentine. Of course, as noted, with these films having their own identity, they put more focus on the plotline involving cloning. Performances were actually decent, if good, especially from Michelle Rodriguez. Some of the visual effects were a bit dodgy, but even when looking at certain bits, it made me remember that it was initially released in 3D. It even gave me flashbacks to some bits from Underworld: Awakening, which was also released the same year as this film (Part of me is considering watching those films again). I also enjoyed the action scenes, especially the climactic fight scene. It's kind of fun seeing that certain action movie trends from the early-2000s seem to still be in fashion even in the early-2010s, not to say that those kinds of fight scenes ever went out of style, but you get my drift.
30. Resident Evil: The Final Chapter - Watched this on Blu Ray. I have reached the final film of the saga and really, it felt like a saga that went on for a decade and a half and it finally drew to a close. With that being said, I know that some people considered this to be one of the worst ones of the series. But really, I found it to be a nice conclusion to the Alice story. Many of the survival and action scenes were fine and all. I can say that it got really confusing a bit because more was added to the cloning subplot. While I can say that in regards to 4, 5, and 6, I might put this at the bottom, I really don't think that this was a bad way to go out in regards to this franchise, at least for these films.
A little side-note: Funny thing happened was that when I looked in the case for Retribution, I realized that the case had The Final Chapter instead. This was not my Blu Ray; I got them from the library. So when I watched Retribution, I streamed it on Starz on Demand instead, and then watched The Final Chapter on that disc. I will also note that I forgot to request The Final Chapter, but it turned out I had it since picking up the hold.

94/ Parenthood (1989) – They do a great job of juggling all the characters in this and gives enough dramatic moments (Joaquin Phoenix's on the phone to his Dad is still heartbreaking to me as it resonates) as well as funny moments. Really enjoyable to revisit after all these years (****)
95/ Strike Me Pink (1936) – comedy/musical, which is a better comedy then a musical thanks to some little setpieces and Eddie Cantor's performance, at over an 100 minutes it could have been cut down a little bit though (personally drop the songs because they didn't do anything for me). Really dynamic end on a rollercoaster though (*1/2)

I have the first three Starship Troopers in a Blu-ray set. Haven’t seen the second two and only saw the first one way back in theaters then maybe one other time along with clips here and there. I’ll really have to dig into that set sometime even though I’m sure 2 and 3 are direct to DVD awfulness.

They recast the actress who played Denise Richards’ captain (and died in the movie) as another character. The lead, I think. She was also in Desperate Housewives.

My third and final round of my Resident Evil movie marathon. I watched all of these on Blu Ray.
31. Resident Evil: Degeneration - The visuals look decent enough by today's standards. Considering this came out in 2008, it's not all that surprising that the visuals have evolved since then, as the visuals look like they could have been used for Resident Evil 4. This came out sometime before Resident Evil 5, I wouldn't be surprised if the team who did the visuals were the same ones who did RE5.
As for the story, being that I'm still new to Resident Evil, I'm glad that I played the RE2 remake before watching this, especially with callbacks to some elements with Claire and Leon. The story was, in my opinion, decent, if good. I enjoyed the action scenes, though.
32. Resident Evil: Damnation - This one had better visuals and it had some good action sequences, especially some of the fight scenes. Even the motion-capture work for a particular one was well done. But my main gripe was that it dragged in some areas, especially in the story. I also wonder if this bridged any story elements into Resident Evil 6, which came out at the same time as this movie did (It even came out the same year as Retribution, but that had no ties to this movie nor the games).
33. Resident Evil: Vendetta - Out of all the animated films, this one had the best visuals overall. Some fans were a bit hard on this film, but as noted before, I'm still new to the franchise. I am well aware of the Rebecca Chambers character, but I haven't played Resident Evil 0 yet, so I don't know how she was portrayed in that game. All I can say is that my only gripe with it is the story and the main villain's motivation, and what they did with Rebecca (especially since she was a playable character in RE0). Not that Rebecca didn't serve a purpose, but really, I didn't like the purpose she served. As for anything else, the action scenes this time around were about as over the top as the live-action films were, if not more. It was as if the scenes made Paul WS Anderson blush a bit.
Man, what a spike in films I watched these past couple of days.

#41 - Raiders of the Lost Ark
*Blu-Ray
An absolute classic. It doesn't do anything in terms of a groundbreaking plot but it's a ton of fun. Indiana Jones is an iconic character and this film is just such a joy ride. The action and the score really add to the experience. [****]
