The only thing you need to know about this movie is that is was written by Bono. Yes, that Bono. Wrote the script (and scored the music, natch). It's about a group of crazy people all living in the same run-down hotel with a murder mystery unfolding around them. They find a way to take that concept as make it as meandering and batshit as possible. Jeremy Davies stars and pretty much whispers almost all of his lines. Milla Jovovich is here too. Oh, and Mel Gibson has a supporting role as a ball-busting FBI agent investigating the murder. He produced the film (along with Bono), and was quoted as saying the movie "was as boring as a dog's ass". Trailer:

The second I start having to pay to watch new movies, I am DONE with this series, but tonight, I checked out the latest installment, "Resident Evil Flaming Hot Bullshit". It's quite LITERALLY a video game movie, complete with objectives that must be completed in pre-rendered environments, boss battles, people being able to carry a ridiculous amount of shit and pull it out of nowhere (There's nothing ON her back, what are those guns connected to?!?!?!), unlimited continues, a handy map that keeps popping up, and costumes that make NO sense for the setting that are there only because they were in the game. Highlights include: A super computer that speaks commands TO itself, for the benefit of no one else in the movie! It will say something like "Prepare Tokyo exercise", and then it will prepare the Tokyo exercise on it's own. I felt like this movie needed Sigourney Weaver there to just repeat what the computer says. A bad guy that so, SO wants to be Val Kilmer! I mean, who can blame him, right? But really, if this movie was made 15 years ago, this guy would have been played by Val Kilmer, and it would have been TREMENDOUS. An opening scene that plays out in reverse, in slow motion, followed by Milla Jovovich giving us a five minute long recap of the events of the first four films, accompanied by a "Rocky IV"-level montage, and followed by that opening scene again, only playing forward! After getting knocked out in the opening, we're treated to Milla waking up in Zack Snyder's "Dawn of the Dead", which goes horribly until she wakes up AGAIN in the bad guy headquarters! I expected her to wake up three or four more times. We're shown how at the end of the last film, Milla was de-powered, but she spends the entire film doing the exact same shit she'd been able to do before (which everyone else can do too), only for someone to shoot her up with some shit later on and say something like "As a token of my appreciation, I've given you your powers back". Huh?!?!? Please, there has to be someone else that's going to see this by the end of the weekend. It's hard to explain just HOW ridiculous many of the aspects of this film are with people that haven't seen it
