Last week The American and this Week Resident Evil

Many interesting movies have released in the past few weeks. There were three recent movies that have taken attention. First I am going to talk about 'The American'. The American is suppose to reflect a classic type espionage film. The movie is about an assassin named Jack who like every spy/assassin is always on the move and is alone. Jack's life takes a turn when one of his jobs does not go as planned and he has to stay in hiding. Jack then gets comfortable and seems to be free of danger but, he maybe getting to comfortable and must watch himself.

The next movie I am going to talk about is Machete. Machete is a mercenary from the army in Mexico. After a drug lord has captured and murdered his family in front of him, Machete becomes devastated and decides to live as a day laborer in the U.S. When he becomes hired to assassinate a very important senator he discovers bigger plans. Then he finds out that the people who hired him was the drug lord who killed his family.

The third and final film I will talking about in this post is Resident Evil: Afterlife. This movie based of the cult classic video games has become a successful movie franchise. Also taking in that it has come in this weekend with over 26 million dollars. Most people are probably interested in how much the 3-D comes into play in this movie. Resident Evil takes place as it left off with the world being overrun by zombies becomes the notorious Umbrella Corporation. Alice, a product of Umbrella is fighting back and in this movie seems to be getting closer. During the movie Alice gains help from her old friends and new. This movie comes with many twists and plenty of 3-D Action.
