The Resident Evil movies started out as a lot of fun, but with each sucessive film it started to cannibalize itself. Dead characters ressurected into new heroes and villains. Stolen dialogue and scenes from better movies (Aliens in this case, George Romero's Day of the Dead in a previous film). Not to mention that Umbrella brands more things than Looney Tunes' Acme, Inc. The fun action sequences can't make up for the bad acting and mediocre cgi. I love Milla Jovovich, but that can only take me so far.

Night Patrol 1984
Watching older movies has become harder, more problematic. I remember this film from my youth as a staple on HBO back in the day. It has not aged well. Parts of this absurd comedy still make me laugh, though, and a few lines from this film are still quoted by me and my friends, though it had been so long since I watched it that I had forgotten. If you're a fan of films like Airplane and Revenge of the Nerds, then you'd probably like this as well.

Major Payne 1995
I wanted to revisit this movie. This is one of those guilty pleasure type films that I watched when I was younger and still quote to this day. I will not day it's a particularly good movie, but to me it's worth it for the little engine that could story, if nothing else.

Throw Momma from the Train 1987
Growing up, this film was one that I watched over and over. I loved this film. As time goes by we sometimes revisit classic films from our youth and find them... lacking. I am happy to report that this film is not one of those. This film is a dark comedy, beautifully acted and wonderful to behold. Anne Ramsey is fantastic. Please go out and see this movie if you haven't already.
