Resident Evil games are up there with the most memorable games of all time on any platfrom, be it PS1, GameCube, or soon to join X-Box 360. The movies however have been anything but exciting so far. The first two movies were barely B- movies, and they did not do justice to the reputation of their counterparts in the gaming world. Now, the 3rd edition, and what seems to be the last chapter in the Resident Evil franchise is upon us (catch Resident Evil Extinction trailer here). This movie seems to be about a time where mankind is facing extinction due to the T-virus that was released by Umbrella corporation in a small raccoon city. Having failed to contain the virus, Umbrella has an upgraded Jill to face the fight for the future of mankind. To be honest, the trailer does not say much more than that about the movie, and the movie looks decent on the paper. I doubt it will be an A-level movie and I doubt it will ever be anything close to what the games are in the gaming community. But, it will be a good start to a hectic fall season in the movie industry.

Unfortunately, as days go by, it is the most likely scenario that Dresden Files is going to be closed just after one season. The first season was full of promise and the series was easily one of the best series on TV period. However, Sci-Fi has decided that rubbish programming such as WWE’s ECW is more valuable than the Dresden Files. I understand the TV business where ratings are everything. However, just like what happened with Jericho, I believe Dresden Files is a victim of a mistake. There is no way that this series was not performing good enough to beat the ghost finder series on SCI-FI. Too bad the Dresden Files the Complete First Season which was released a couple of weeks ago is now the complete series.

Fans of the Resident Evil franchise are not going to be left disappointed as the third installment of the Resident Evil franchise is coming to movie theaters on September 21. Resident Evil 2 was a disappointing movie as it did not live up to the expectations. However, with the addition of new cast members such as Ali Larter, Resident Evil 3 Extinction promises to top the first 2 movies. Of course, in the end the Resident Evil franchise has failed to be as scary as its game counterpart.
