In between all the unpacking and cleaning, I did squeeze in watching I am legend on pay per view. To me, it seems like yet another zombie movie, maybe with just another twist. I still like the Resident Evil trilogy more but it beats Dawn of the dead.
Setting aside the fact that Milla Jovovich may be the only actress besides Kate Beckinsale who can make such awful movies even remotely watchable (and I actually enjoyed Van Helsing), how can you not hate yourself for watching more than one Resident Evil movie? I saw the second first, then for some reason decided to torture myself by watching the first. In comparison, it was a lot better.
Words fail me for describing the Romero remake though, except that some of the characterizations worked.

If you think that's bad, stay awaaaaay from Ultraviolet.
The trailer would have you believe it's fantastically awesome. Unfortunately fantastically awesome a hundred times in sequence makes for a really sheit movie.
I also hated the "original" ending. The alternate ending is much better.

+1 for the alternate ending. Why oh why did they not choose that for the theatrical release?

It's the decade of bad decisions, didn't you get the memo?
