Hellboy - 地獄怪客:血后的崛起

Hellboy (地獄怪客:血后的崛起) is an 2019 film. The movie stars David Harbour as Hellboy. The supporting cast include Milla Jovovich, Ian McShane, Sasha Lane, Daniel Dae Kim, and Thomas Haden Church. The movie is a reboot and is not a sequel to the previous Hellboy movie series. The character is based on the comic version.



Hellboy is part of a US government squad that fights paranormals. When lent out to the UK, he's framed and nearly killed. Now, he must stop a King Arthur era witch from reforming. Along the way, a medium and werewolf help him out. Will Hellboy be tempted to birthright calms or grander or will his human father have succeeded.?



Not sure what to say about this movie. Just trying to write a summary for it was hard. The movie was going for an Hellboy origin story that does a poor job or making us care for him. In the end, all the fighting was a bit meaningless.



Stylistically, this movie didn't have the same feel as the previous film series. But went more gore style and it was a little bit off. I can't really recommend this movie.

Resident Evil: Retribution - 惡靈古堡V:天譴日

Resident Evil: Retribution (惡靈古堡V:天譴日) is an 2012 film. The movie stars Milla Jovovich. The supporting cast include Li Bingbing, Sienna Guillory, Michelle Rodriguez, and Johann Urb. This is the fifth installment of the current Resident Evil film franchise. It is rumored that the current franchise will conclude with the next installment.

The movie starts off where the last one ends, Resident Evil: Afterlife. They were on a boat and many survivors were released. The start of this one is that those survivors were eliminated and Alice captured and sent to a Umbrella demo site in mother Russia. Alice wakes up and is under the surveillance of Red Queen. Ada Wong and Wesker hack into their systems and release Alice to get out of there. When the Red Queen reclaims control, she unleashes an army on them. How will Alice get out of this one?

The movie was pretty well made. Lots of lots of stylish CG effects. Lots of ways to take out zombies and clones. The movie isn't a retread of the previous four movies, but moves the story further along and adds new CG elements you didn't see in the last one. Worth a watch of you've already seen the previous four.
