20th Century Boys 3: Redemption

I not only had the pleasure to check out the new VIZ Cinema in San Francisco’s New People complex, I got to see the world premier of 20th Century Boys 3. The New People complex is located in Japan Town, right across from the plaza with the peace pagoda. The building itself is amazing. It has stores like Baby, the Stars Shine Bright, a clothing store, and a bookstore. For those of you that don’t know, 20th Century Boys is a trilogy of movies based on the popular manga of the same title. If you haven’t read the books or seen the other movies, then don’t fear! Neither had I. One of the great things about the third movie is there is a 10-minute introduction that is mainly a summary of the prior two films. This movie is the conclusion of the trilogy. Now I don’t want to give away

New Resident Evil film because “it makes money”

Many of us may feel Resident Evil films have nothing to do with the actual game’s plot, but people are still watching them. Resident Evil: Afterlife is in production and star Milla Jovovich explains: “The movie makes money. If it makes more money than the last one, you’d think that people want to see another one, so we’ll do another one. There’s been a lot of interest online, there’s been a lot of letters from fans… film company,” she told shocktillyoudrop. “It’s not like I said, ‘Hey, honey! Let’s do another one right away!’ I mean, it’s an expensive film and it’s all business and if the third one didn’t do well, there wouldn’t be another one.” Jovovich also talks about Afterlife’s 3D effects, which is funny because Milla states that she’s never seen a 3D movie: “He’s been really studying it and seeing all the different things they have
