"…Living only for the moment, turning our full attention to the pleasures of the moon, the snow, the cherry blossoms and the maple leaves; singing songs, drinking wine, diverting ourselves just floating, floating….refusing to be disheartened, like a gourd floating along with the river current; this is what we call the floating world…” Asai Ryoi, in Ukiyo Monogatari (Tales of the Floating World, 1661)

I Saw Resident Evil Retribution
On Sunday I went out and engaged in my Resident Evil addiction with the latest movie - Resident Evil: Retribution. I loved it. It might not be for everyone, but from my point of view it was thoroughly enjoyable. Milla Jovovich. Guns. Explosions. Monsters. Milla Jovovich. What more can a guy ask for in a movie?
All kidding aside, it was a very enjoyable movie and I have to give much credit to the director for the opening sequence, which was nothing short of amazing and enthralling in my book. If you are a fan of the franchise, don't miss it. If you just like kinetic action with a beautiful actress in leather or, as Michelle Rodriguez says "What's with the S&M outfit?", you'll enjoy the movie.
One of the things I've always enjoyed about the Resident Evil franchise is the movies never pretend to be more then they are - simple, brilliant, enjoyable entertainment.
