Resident Evil - Extinction

Another third part. This one supposed to be the horror movie, bu I do not take it as one. For me it is only sci-fi and the beautiful Milla Jovovich.
The movie is about a virus that escaped from agency called Umbrella. It's a deadly virus that is transforming the infected target into meat eating things.
The world has changed during the firs two parts of he movie and is now a great desert.
There are only few survivors and they are headed to Alaska.
There are still some secrets that you will find out in this part. There is also place for another part.

The Bourne Ultimatum

The third and probably the last from the series of Bourne movies. It's a good action movie about an agent that was trained for special tasks. And because of that he had to forget all about his past. He later wants it back. He wants to remember.
And he has been doing something about that for two whole movies, and now he finally gets to the bottom of his past. And he remembers it all, with some help off course.
A very good action movie that shows what is possible in the world around us that we do not know it's possible.

1408

A horror movie. And if you are reading my blog then you should know that I do not like horror movies very much. And it was the same with this one. Horror fans would probably like it, but it was nothing special for me.
It is about a room in some hotel that supposed to be so scary that no one came alive out of it if he went in.
Enough said.

MMA or Maribor City Adventure

MMA standing for Mariborska Mestna Avantura or as is stated in the title Maribor City Adventure. Tis was my first adventure race from the other side. I've many races of this kind on the side of organizer, but this was the firs one I was racing in.
My roommate and me went on the shorter track. There was one of 80 km and one of 40 km. There were many disciplines: running, roller blading, mountain biking and paddling.
I am part of the team that is organizing this kind of races, and you can find out more about them on our site: www.adventurerace.si.
Oh, yes ... we didn't do so well on the race, but we did finished it. Maybe we'll do better next time (if there'll be one).

Stardust

I must say this one is a goodie. It is a nice fantasy story about stars, who they really are and where do they come from.
It's about a small village that is surrounded with the wall that none should pass. There is a dangerous world on the other side of the wall, full of strange creatures and very bad witches.
It is a kingdom where kings sons are battling for the throne.
But they are not the only ones that can get there. There is a special one that no one knows that he exists. Not even himself.
It is adventure of a young man that is trying to impress his love. She is hard to impress. And she likes those that have money and power and is using the silly boy for all the things he can do for her.
One day he says that he will bring her the star that fell from the sky that night. And she agrees to marry him if he does that. And that is when a young man jumps the wall and wonders in the dangerous world beyond it.
He, however is not the only one that is looking for the star ...
And here starts the real adventure.
A very nice fantasy movie.

Photos from Expedition

A little time ago I was writing about our Scout Expedition to England, Scotland ...
I promised photos soon. Well they were up on the web pretty soon after that post, but I only foud time now to post the link here, and it will took me some more time to put them into my photo drawer on the right side.
So here they are.

Ratatouille

I've been waiting for this one for a very long time. It is quite a long time since it came out, but I just couldn't get it. It another cartoon from Pixar Animation Stuidios. The authors of Finding Nemo, Monsters Inc., Toy Stories and other great cartoons.
I very much like their short animated movies. The first one I've seen was the Geri's Game. And it was a good one I must say.
There is also one of my dream job's there. To work in the top animation studio. But that is just one of them.
If you liked any of their previous animated movies, you will like this one. I can guaranty that.

Dragonheart 2

Did you watched the first one?
If you didn't, go and watch it. I must say that that one is better then this. But it doesn't mean that this one is not good.
But of course it is. It's the fantasy. And fantasy is almost always good.
There was the last living dragon in the first part. But they never mentioned that there could be an egg of another one. And that is where from comes this new dragon.
And as we can find out he isn't the last one nether. There is one that was punished by being forced to live in the human body.
The story is quite good, but the act could be better.

Johnny English

I've watched this one a while ago, but I was not sure I did. I remembered it as soon as I started to watch it again. But I was glad I did it again.
It's a very nice, lite comedy that makes you laugh every time you watch it again and again. I must say I like this kind of British humor. And Rowan Atkinson is the right man for the main role in movie like this.

Knocked Up

A comedy/romance about a woman that accidentally got pregnant with a man for a one night stand. And it was surprise for both of them. They discussed what to do and in the end she decided that she will keep the baby.
He was living in a trash apartment with some guys. He had no job, no money and no purpose in life. She on the other had got a new job on TV and was not good for her to get pregnant.
In the end it was good thing for both of them. They realized that they do like each other enough to start their life together with a baby. She also had a very comforting sister that helped her through hard times. But the end was good.

Surfs Up

A very nice comedy/animation abut a penguins who like to surf. One of them, a really young one, likes it so much that he wants to go to the championship. But this is hard. He had never seen the waves so big and he never surfed with a board that was not form ice.
He had to learn it all from beginning. He found on the island his greates idol, a legend of surfing, that was officially dead. But in the reality he only went away because new generation of surfers were not there to enjoy the show but to win at all costs.
He took the young one in the training and trained him well. But not to win but to have fun and help the friends. And that he did. He helped the legend to came back and show what is surfing all about.

A serial killer is trying to attract the attention of the general public. He is killing people in a weird places and with no reason bu to prove how good he is in killing and not get cough.
He claims that his head is hurting him if he doesn't kill for a long time.
It is a real life story that happen in US. He was on the stage for several years. I f the police came close to him he vanished in thin air. He gave himself a name after a wrist watch firm.
He was arrested several years after his last crime with a help of caricature artist for some paper.
The killer was leaving the coded messages for press and police and the artist was the one who broke all the codes and eventually lead police on the right track.

Kiss Of The Dragon

A good action movie with Jet Lee in main role. He is a special Chinese police agent that is helping French police with capture of Chinese mafia boss. The chief of French police however is very corrupted man, and he incriminates the Chinese police man.
They charge him with several murders and are trying to arrest him. He manages to escape and get in contact with his commanding officer and tells him what happened to him.
The French police is after him, but he is trying to clarify his name and put the police chief on trial. After long struggeling and after he finds a witness that can put chief behind the bars, he goes after the chief himself.

Trust The Man

David Duchovny, a star from one of the best Sci-Fi series X-Files is back. This time he plays a horny husband that is addicted to sex. He is father of two young children and he is dreaming of more diverse sex life. His wife however does not like the idea much.
And that is when he meets a divorced love from the high school. He has an affair with her. And when his wife finds out she throws him out of the apartment. But there is more.
There is another story of his wives brother and his girlfriend. He just doesn't want to get married. but she wants to.
That is the reason why they brake up. At the and they all are back where they belong and they love each other.

Son Of The Dragon

Nice movie about a Chinese legend. It shows the story of a man that helps poor people by stealing from the rich ones. Kinda reminds on Robin Hood. If you are fan of good Chinese movies this is surely a good one to watch.
The story in nice and there is much usage of martial arts. It is a mini series in two parts.

Lookout

Not really good movie. It's about young teenager that has a car accident while driving at night without lights. There was a harvester parked right in the middle of the road. He had three friends with him. Two died, but two survived with serious damage.
He himself had a serious head injury. His memory was damaged and he had problems with remembering new things, and remembering things before accident.
He was cleaning the bank at night and some guys took advantage of his disability. They wanted to rob the bank, and they did it too.
He however changed his mind and wanted to stop the action. His only job was to look after the cops. He made a plan how he will stop the robbery, and even thou he had memory problems he did it.
He later started his own buisnes with his roommate. They opened a restaurant.
Its kinda dark movie. That is why I didn't liked it much.

It's A Boy Girl Thing

A nice comedy about teenagers, one a neard (it's a she) and the other the complete opposite the party and sport freak (it's a he). Some weird statue in museum makes them switch the bodies and they are struggling to make it back to their own bodies.
Each of them is waiting for a special thing. She has meeting for a collage where she could study literature and he has a game that could bring him scholarship and a place on some sport college.
They must work together to pass this barricades and that is hard.
But they make it and not only that. They fell in love.
Nice comedy/romance.

Grindhouse - Death Proof

This one was a little better then it's predecessor (Death Proof). It's about speed freaks that love the speed, and not just that, some even like to kill. There are again some nice ladies and familiar faces, even the producer himself.
But I must say that this is not my kind of movie.

Avenger

This one I didn't like that much. It's a movie about a man that seeks revenge for his daughter that was killed. After he gets it his goal became to help other do the same. He is the tool of revenge and gets the people responsible for them.
An action movie with some killing and shooting involved.

Shanghai Kiss

Hmmm, what to say about this one. A love romance between teen and a man in his med 20's. He thinks he0s to old for her, but she likes her very much. He wanted to be an actor, but he only gets Chinese parts. Well he is Chinese, but he was born in US.
He inherits an apartment in Shanghai and goes there to sell it. But he finds another nice (a little older) woman there that he fells in love with. He decides to move to Shanghai, but later realizes that this is not what he would really like to do.
At the end, he stays in US and...
We'll see it for your self if you want to.

Disturbia

Youngsters dad dies in an unfortunate car accident. He was lucky that he survived. But his life changed dramatically. He became very strange to school and was in bad mood many times.
Once the teacher teased him, and he reacted with the punch in the face.
He got house arrest for couple of months. In the mean he spent much of his time playing video games, sitting in front of the computer.
His mom wanted to make his life better, so she canceled all the tech stuff and made him do something useful.
He also got a new nice looking neighbor. And his hobby became spying after all the neighbors. He suspected one of his neighbors to be a serial killer, but he just never seen him do anything like it. The new neighbor, the cute one, came to him and they made friends, even more later. But you should probably see it for your self. It's nice one

Breach

That one was a good one. It's about the biggest leakage of the CIA in USA history. An old agent that was spying in Soviet Union, a very good computer genius, that knew many things about computer security in CIA. He gave away many important informations.
The chiefs knew about that but they didn't have any proofs. It was young mans task to get them, and to close the leak down.
A very good movie based on true story from 70's of 20th century.

Spieces - The Avakening

Another horror movie. And guess what, I didn't liked it. Well it just has too stupid story. To plain and to dumb.
It's about a woman that was created in lab and because of that her life expectancy is shorter. Much shorter. She also isn't pure human, but a thing, a new spiciest.
Enough said.

Transformers

When I was young, I was watching this cartoon series. I liked it. And like with many things today they made movie out of it. And yes, you guessed it, it's called Transformers.
The story in the movie is good, I liked it, but some facts about history are way out of line and make human race look stupid. The first transistor was not discovered with the help of alien technology. Damn, that is what I didn't like.
On the other hand the movie shows that there will still be wars in the future. We'll se about that.

Flushed Away

At first I thought this was just another low budget animated movie. But after I watched I was really amazed. It was so nice and funny that I was really please I watched it. It's about a city rat that was accidentally thrown into a real rat city. After being alone for a really long time he meet many new friends and a love.
They adventured together and saved the rat city from being destroyed by a evil toad.
Funny one.

Greatest Gift

A nice movie about a young man that never worked in his life.
His grandfather just died and he was a wealthy man, very wealthy. After the funeral his will was read. No one of the heirs was satisfied with his share of fortune. But the main character received the greatest gift. At first it seemed like it was nothing, he just had to work, and he had to work really hard, to meet the conditions.
After he made all that was mentioned in the will, he got a real fortune, a future wife and his life got the meaning after all.
It's a really nice movie.

Grindhouse - Planet Terror

Pulp. Well I didn't like this one very much. It's mostly about killing. Well there are some celebrities in the movie like Bruce Willis, but this does not make the movie better. There were also some nice women in there, but again, doesn't change much.
I simply didn't like it.

Empire

A very nice history movie about Rome. It shows what was the life like back then. How did the live, and it also tells the story about the first Cesar named Caezar. It shows how the giddy senators assassinated their leader and how the fight for his place was deadly for many Romans.
It is a great saga in two parts that describes the that part of history.
If you like Rome and antique times, then you just have to see this mini series.

28 Weeks Later

If you watched 28 days later, you'll surely like this one too. It was marked as one of the best second movie. It's a horror movie that displays a story of virus spreading.
In the first movie the virus was all over UK. All the survivors were evacuated from the island.
Several months later, when there was no trace of virus any more, the returning of the people has begun. But there was a catch. There was a survivor on the island that was infected, but was still normal. She was only a carrier.
That is when it all begun again. The virus took over the UK again, but this time it went even further, over the sea.
What will come next?
