Let’s All Take a Trip to Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City
I loved the Resident Evil games when I was a kid, and it looks like those early games are going to be the focus of the new movie reboot. As we all know, the Resident Evil movie series was only loosely connected to the games and served more as a way to keep giving Mila Jovovich some work. Well the new film, Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City is going back to the games with a simultaneous adaptation of the first and second Residents Evil.
I am very cautiously optimistic about this movie. On the one hand, I loved those first two Resident Evil games and would love a more direct adaptation. On the other hand, this looks to be a very cheaply made movie trying to cash in on the name brand, which isn’t so hot these days.
But maybe we’ll get lucky and Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City will be good. It comes to theaters on Nov. 24.

6 Thoughts on Venom: Let There Be Carnage
We are now living in a world where the Venom sequel might just top most of the major Marvel Studios movie releases this year. Venom: Let There Be Carnage exploded at the opening weekend box office, earning more than $90 million, beating the three day opening weekend totals of both Black Widow and Shang-Chi. Granted, these are pandemic numbers, but still! Venom 2 is apparently a popular movie!
Movie Rating: 6/10 – Pretty Good
I saw Venom: Let There Be Carnage opening night, because that’s how I roll with most superhero movies. I was a lukewarm fan of the first film, finding it to be a rather dumb affair, held aloft solely by the insane fun of Tom Hardy’s dual lead performances. The sequel brings all of that back, while also finally bringing Carnage into a live action movie. Fans have been waiting for Carnage for a very long time. Did he live up to the hype?
Join me after the jump for my thoughts and review of Venom: Let There Be Carnage. Expect FULL SPOILERS for the movie. And feel free to share your own thoughts on the film in the comments!

The next Disney animated movie is Encanto, a story about a magical house and the magical family that lives inside — if by “magical” we mean they each have a super-power. But hey, lots of people get their super powers through magic, so who am I to judge? Check out the first full trailer.
Looks pretty great to me! Wonderful animation, some good humor, lots of impressive visuals. This should be another Disney animated treat!
Encanto comes to theaters on Nov. 24.

Tom Hanks, a Robot and a Dog
September has been pretty barren when it comes to new movies. But this random Tom Hanks trailer arrived a couple days ago and it could be pretty fun. The movie is called Finch.
It looks fine. Tom Hanks is always a treat, and now he’s got an adorable dog and an adorable robot. Why does he build the robot again? Just as a hobby at the end of the world? I suppose we’ll have to watch the movie to find out.
Finch comes to AppleTV+ on Nov. 5.

We’re Going Back Into The Matrix!
The Matrix Resurrections is coming in December (hopefully) and we finally have a trailer! Let us dive back into that crazy world with a pretty awesome trailer, showing off a lot of really awesome visuals.
Looks good to me! I’m as much of a Matrix fan as everybody else. Perhaps even more so, because I actually like both sequels. And I’m ready for this new film. I’m as skeptical as anybody else when it comes to reviving franchises with a new sequel after several decades, but at least this new movie has one of the Wachowski sisters back to helm the project. That counts for a lot. And all of the actors look fine.
The movie also looks visually magnificent. So huzzah to The Matrix Resurrections! Coming out on Dec. 22!
