#16: Fanboys

êêêê

I've had the movie Fanboys for a while in my collection, and never watched it, and now I wish I would have watched it sooner. The cameos in this movie are insane and extremely funny. From William Shatner, to Seth Rogen (as two different hilarious characters).

A group of nerdy, Star Wars obsessed best friends decide to set out on a journey to break in to Skywalker Ranch, they have no idea what is in store for them. Eric (Sam Huntington), Windows (Jay Baruchel), Hutch (Dan Fogler), and Linus (Chris Marquette) have been friends and loyal Star Wars fanatics since they were little. When they find out that Linus has cancer, they decide they need to see the uncut version of Star Wars Episode 1: The Phanton Menance 6 months early, which is located in a secret chamber on George Lucas' Skywalker Ranch. There all kinds of hilarious hijinks that take place along the way, and every obstacle threatens their chance at seeing the film. Kristen Bell plays the female counterpart of this geek troop and she does a pretty good job at it. I literally laughed out loud during this movie, and would watch it again any time. It's a nerd's favorite type of movie, especially a science fiction nerd. There's two different hilariously amazing cameos by Seth Rogen, where he plays a Trekkie and a Southern Pimp in Vegas. I highly recommend Fanboys to anyone who loves to laugh.

#4: Resident Evil

êêêê

Oh boy, where do I begin. An acquaintance of mine recommended the Resident Evil movies, because she heard that I like zombie films. Um, wow. Boy was she wrong on so many levels. First of all, this was not in fact a zombie movie. Yes the dead "came back to life," but I don't care what people say, this was so not what a zombie film should be. Let me just say, that I really do like Milla Jovovich, and she was amazing in The Fifth Element. She was honestly the only decent actor in the entire set of Resident Evil. Everything about this movie was just wrong, from the plot to the graphics and actors. The story line of the movie is that there's an underground government facility that contains highly trained scientists along with their experiments, until one day when someone breaks in to one of the labs and steals a very toxic virus along with the antivirus. During this process, the thief purposely drops one tube of the virus, releasing it throughout the facility through the air vents. The entire facility is ran by a central computer system that starts killing people to stop them from leaving with the virus in their system. Of course, Milla Jovovich's character, along with Michelle Rodriguez, shut down the system and reboot it. When this occurs, all of the scientists that were killed by the computer system come back as "zombies," and start attacking whoever is left alive.

Some films can have an extremely unrealistic plot and make it work through execution and details, but this was not one of those films. Nothing in this movie made believe that this could really happen, and it was all done so poorly that I still don't understand how there are so many sequels. The moral of this story is, Milla Jovovich should have just said, "No."
