We rented some movies yesterday to watch. We got Resident Evil: Apocalypse, Paranoid Agent, & Old School. So far we watched RE2 & Paranoid Agent, both were very good.

Resident Evil: Apocalypse - It was definitely one of the better movie translation of the game. The movie picks up a little before the first movie ended. The movie starts with spreading of the T virus into the civilian populace. As Umbrella's attempt to evacuate & quarantine Raccoon City, the virus spreads into the fleeing mass at the last gate out of the city. This forces Umbrella to close the gate, sealing the survivors in & abandoning its own men (with hunky Carlos Olivera/ Oded Fehr) with the ravaneous zombie horde .

Enters Jill, Carlos & Alice in the fray. As the survivors tries to escape, they learn more about Umbrella's shadier dealings from Alice. They also get a first hand experience with the Nemesis.

The good guys triumph in the end, Umbrella emerge as the ultimate victor as they successfully cover up the whole incident in Raccoon City.

I enjoyed it though not as much as the first movie (which is ingenius I must say), but it's a good sequel. It's worthy to any collection.

Paranoia Agent - Paranoia Agent is a surreal anime from Geneon & Satoshi Kon (Millenium Actress fame). It starts out as an assault case on a famous toy designer whom everyone feels she was making the story up. As the investigation continues & new assault case pours in, the detectives on the case start running across the same description of the assailant - a youth in a red baseball hat, weilding a bent golden baseball bat on a pair of golden inline skates.

Who is this kid & what does he gets out of this?

As the investigation continues, the case or rather the victims of these assaults get bizarre. At times as a viewer you start to question whether any of this real or not. However, one truth does emerge. When anyone is overwhelm by their problems, Little Slugger will appear to take care of the problem.
