thoughts:
i enjoyed this movie. i liked the commentary about the freedom of being able to choose what we want in life and how so much gets in the way of that, especially ourselves. the lesbian sex scene was very Male Gazey and it was just obviously directed by a dude that wanted to see rachel weisz and rachel mcadams in a lesbian scene lol

The Devil All The Time (2020)

thoughts:
pacing and arrangement of this movie vs the book was not something i enjoyed and i don't really like that they didn't make sandy as fucked up as she was in the book but. their whole plot didn't feel as prominent as they were in the book, like they just kinda showed up every now and then imo. robert pattison's character was just as repulsive as he was in the book which was awful to watch on screen

Resident Evil: Vendetta (2021)

thoughts:
we're watching all of the worst resident evil movies with a friend of ours and this was the first on the chopping block. IT'S SO FUCKING BAD. between making Chris a bit of an idiot when it comes to combat, giving rebecca a whole forced marriage subplot while also making her the team "mom" that knocks leon's and chris's heads together. it's just. bad. i like some aspects of it, like leon's jadedness, him struggling with what his job makes him do but then they have him blowing up civilians on the highway to kill TWO DOGS. but no wait, you have to read this movie's novelization to discover that it was arias's men on the highway??? because the movie gives you literally no indication otherwise. so fucking awful LOL.

Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City (2021)
Set in 1998, this origin story explores the secrets of the mysterious Spencer Mansion and the ill-fated Raccoon City.
thoughts:
utter dogshit. the director/writer hated leon so much they made him some bumbling moron, which was a shame because i really liked his actor. this movie was so close to being the return to basics that the movies needed but then they totally destroyed the characterization of every single character in the series LOL. lily gao is the exception, proving once again, she is the one and only ada wong.

Resident Evil: Damnation (2012)
Special Agent Leon S.Kennedy goes against his superior's orders and works to destroy a series of biological weapons being used in a war zone in Europe.
thoughts:
the animation for this is bad, they all look slighty off enough to bother me. that being said, this is one of the better re movies. really like leon in this, even though matt mercer makes it hard. i HATE matt mercer. he's not voice acting he's just. not good. stop giving him work. i hated ada in this movie but only because they made her caucasian for some fucking reason. caucada wong jump scare. also, this was during capcom's 'i hate women' period so a lot of panty shots and showing off how flexible ada is for no reason other than she exists. oh and misogynist leon makes a return. because, heh. women.
