Resident Evil: Apocolypse (I don't care...i loved the first one)
The Day After Tomorrow
Spiderman 2
Van Helsing
Blade Trinity
Sky Captain
The Punisher
And others that I have probably forgotten right now....
Also, the ending to Resident Evil used to be different. Aparantly, on the two disc DVD in America, there's an alternate ending where Racoon City isn't destroyed and *I think* Alive dies...
Also, very much looking foward to Shrek 2. Should be great...

Yep, licker was a pants monster mainly because in the game it wasn't really a boss creature and could be dealt with relatively simply. Of course my main complaint was that they didn't put in that big mutant eye bloke in who I thought would have made a much scarier bad guy.
I think I'm actually looking forward to the sequel more than the first because of the setting. A post apocalyptic Racoon City teething with zombies who aren't blessed with the athletic skills of those undead in the forthcoming Dawn of the Dead Remake, and the Nemesis surely is one of the best Resi badies to ever been created, mixing them together should provide plenty more zombie action for me to enjoy.
But as much as I'm looking forward to the film, I just can't help but feel that if there is going to be one decent Zombie horror flick this year, it will be Shaun of the Dead, which is looking top notch indeed.
> Nemesis, isn't it?
Yup, and it does, and Nemesis himself looks more or less like his videogame counterpart, abet a little less stocky. Looking forward to seeing this one myself, especially after the ending of the first one.

Oh the Licker was crap...that I will admit...but the rest was cool...and I can tell you that it is far superior than the dreaded Dawn Of The Dead we are being offended with this year...*shudders*

It's an entertaining hour or so of brainless action, nothing more. What little tension that was built up in the beginning of the film dissipated when that god awful looking CGI abomination of a licker jumped out of its cage. From there it was your typical monster movie with dull characters running around the place being picked off until the final battle with the creature. Oh and there's some zombies who do next to nothing for most of the film.
Compared to existing Zombie films there isn't much to really credit resident evil. It was fun enough to warrant me looking forward to the sequel though.
+ Spider-Man 2 (for Myst) and various other movies.
