Resident Evil (2026) review

Video game adaptations are a dime a dozen these days as I'm sure I've said countless times over the years on this blog. With that being said something about this version of Resident Evil felt different once it was announced that Director and writer Zach Cregger was involved. A self proclaimed fan of the game series at the helm? telling his own little story in the universe the games are set in? I'm sold and instantly I was sold again as right off the bat Resident Evil delivers a unique, quirky and at times hilarious romp befitting of it's visceral nature. 

Zach Cregger's previous two movies being Barbarian and Weapons I was never truly skeptical about him turning Resident Evil into something it's not and now after seeing it I have to say that he gets it he just really does. Easter eggs litter the screen almost frame after frame from first aid sprays to scavaging for bullets it's all here and done so expertly. Austin Abarams stars as a courier tasked with delivering a top class object to a hospital set directly in the middle of Raccoon City. What follows is a night he'd like to forget as we follow him from one disaster to the next it's all brilliantly shot, told and really feels like you're along for the whole thing with POV shots from the barrell of guns impactful jump scares and very unique monster designs.


Resident Evil is a blast it really is. It needs to be seen on the biggest screen possible and further cements Zach Cregger as one of the best Director's working today. It's a love letter to the video game series all culminating in a movie that feels less an adaptation and more so of a side story that is happen simulataneously as the video game series begins. Resident Evil is pretty much flawless way of changing a video game adaptation and is one of my favorite movies of the entire year thus far. Infectious to the core.

Fighting with my Family review

Image
The Knight Family are a unique bunch to say the least. Not only do all the children wrestle but so do the mother and father. And out of that we got Paige. Florence Pugh stars as Saraya Knight a young girl from Norwich England. Her brother Zak Knight played by Jack Lowden has one dream. Of making it to the WWE and he will do anything to make it all possible. At it's core Fighting With My Family is exactly what the title says. A family who fight as we're shown the entire Knight family wrestling in small venues in Norwich. Ricky Knight who is the father wants so much for his kids to succeed and after sending tapes to WWE for them to review and possibly accept both Saraya and Zak for a tryout the family gets it's wish as WWE visits the UK for it's European tour. This is when we meet Vince Vaughn's character who is the guy in charge of recruiting talent and pushing them to see how far they can go and how much they have in them to make it to the top.

With that being said let's get into it Gotham finally returns for it's fifth and sadly last season and with a run of only 12 episodes there is a lot to get through and eventually wrap up.

Superman & Lois 3x13 : What Kills You Only Makes You Stronger review

Image
                Be warned there will be SP OILERS* inv olved in this review. With that being said let's get into it. Season 3 of Superman and Lois has come to and end in the most devastatingly epic way. The finale opens up with Sam Lane telling Lois and Clark that Lex Luthor is nowhere to be found. Clark adds more to this by saying he can't hear him either but Lois is not convinced after all Lex did literally threaten her at the end of last weeks episode. A meteor shower is planned for the evening right at the center of Smallville town so you just know something is going to go down then and as expected something major does go down but more on that a bit later. As the boys leave the house Lois tells Clark that she is ready to be intimate again and the two fly off to a private secluded area where they can be together for the first time since Lois had her breasts removed due to her cancer. It's a tender moment and one that does feel very important fo...
