  • RESIDENT EVIL 2026 Movie Review – Is It A Good Video Game Movie?

    Extraordinarily non-descript is the phrase I would use to explain the trailer for the new Resident Evil movie. I absolutely did not get what they were going for. All I could guess is that it seemed like a small town slice-of-life take on the franchise. In a way, that did turn out to be true, however, the movie was so much more than that! What made this film great is the fact that it had you feeling like you were actually in a Resident Evil video game! And you weren’t one of the tough cop characters or anyone like that. You were just a regular person dropped into an extremely difficult situation. Let’s jump into a few other video games and see how it feels to be in one!

    My first choice is the famous survival horror game called Sonak dee PigHog. Wow, I’m suddenly inside the data! Oh no there’s stuff I gotta survive! Ahhhhh a hole! Ouch some spikes! Even worse, FISH! Somehow I actually made it to the end of all the platforms on this level. Now I have to avoid an unhygienic scientist’s mustache?! True horror! I’m sure some people have a problem with me classifying Sonak dee PigHog as survival horror, yet I pretty much proved it with direct evidence, didn’t I?

    Next, let’s jump into a video game of the other primary survival horror franchise. I believe it’s called Noisy Pile O’ Dirt. I’m walking around this town full of mist, and various things keep popping out at me, such as oxygen and microscopic germs. As I gather more and more clues, I start to notice that I don’t even have legs at all, and I’ve been doing absolutely nothing this whole time. Turns out, I’m the dirtiest dirt pile that ever was! I’ve just been a stationary pile o’ dirt the whole time that has imagined I’m a person with mobility. On top of that horrific revelation, some of my dirt has smothered an ant, potentially ON PURPOSE! It’s as if my brain locked the memory of my misdeeds, but that’s ridiculous, because I’m just dirt, and I don’t have a brain in the first place.

    Is It A Good Video Game Movie?: Honestly, Resident Evil was probably the best video game movie I’ve ever seen!

    Final Thoughts: 8/10 Crowns. Resident Evil gets an 8 on a scale of all movies, but it would probably get a 10 out of 10 if it were a scale of only video game movies. I truly felt like I was playing one of the games. Every moment was a matter of survival. Do I have anything to defend myself with? Do I have enough supplies? What am I gonna find behind this door when I open it? There were probably other video game movies that attempted to do the same thing from the perspective of actually feeling like you’re in the video game. This is the only one I’ve ever seen that did it successfully. Also, one last note I’d like to say (which is a spoiler if you haven’t seen it yet) is that I would like to make a comparison that I’m sure is a bit cliché from overuse. The ending of this film reminds me of the Ether Drift Theory episode of Aeon Flux. In both cases, the protagonists are literally just the tiniest fraction of a detail away from being successful at the very end. In the Resident Evil case, it’s kind of funny, because you realize the final events make the entire story pointless. You think you’re following a character that does something important, only to see he just becomes like everybody else and fails at surviving. I almost skipped this movie, and I’m really glad that I changed my mind and went to see it. I Highly recommend this one to any horror fan! Pardon me while I turn on my Surreal Dreamcaster and play some more of that game where I get to be a pile of dirt!

  • A MINECRAFT MOVIE 2025 Movie Review – I still don’t understand the significance of “Chicken Jockey”

    I began viewing A Minecraft Movie with the belief that it was going to be a stoopid movie that is only enjoyable to Minecraft players based on fan service jokes. Now I still don’t understand “Chicken Jockey”, so I suppose I wasn’t totally off the mark with some of it. The point I’m getting at is the movie was actually good to a casual viewer like dis Drawma Kingg! It was funny, had a great leading man with Jack Black, and was unique in many ways for a mainstream family movie.

    I watched A Minecraft Movie at home, but I wanted the COMPLETE viewing experience! I started throwing peanut eminems at the cat until I had three claw marks above my right eye. My PS5 no longer works, because I dumped popcorn butter on it when Jack Black said “Chicken Jockey”. I don’t know why I felt compelled to do that on those trigger words, but the universe moves us in complex ways. Halfway through the movie my ex showed up to return my box of 1000 Kangaroo Jack DVDs and instantly got an Extra Large Coca-Cola Cup of battery acid in the face. Minecraft rules – can’t press charges. We had a good laugh about it after. Mostly me, but I think it was probably still both of us that thought it was funny.

    The main cons of the movie are: 1 – that it plays out pretty much how you would expect for a movie of this genre. And 2 – it kind of feels like an entirely green screen movie. The pros: 1 – Jack Black is hilarious in his delivery of his lines and his general mannerisms. 2 – Depeche Mode show up (only in song unfortunately). 3 – Surprisingly, the writing has a lot of clever lines sandwiched between the expected ones. 4 – It was actually pretty funny. I laughed at a good handful of jokes and situational comedy moments. 5 – they did a very daring thing by using the word “butt” to try to make you laugh! Can you believe that? A PG family movie that had the UNIQUE idea to say “butt” to try to get a kid to laugh? These writers must have went to Harvard!

    Ending Explained: I know it’s going to sound like I’m lying here, but in the final battle of good characters vs. evil characters (no moral ambiguity pertaining to the depth of each individual’s consciousness and who they are) – the good characters prevail!

    Final Thoughts: 7/10 Crowns. All it needed to do was not totally suck in order to impress me. Y’see movies are all about the expectation when you start it. I’m gonna start going into every movie with the mentality “Well I know it’s not gonna be the next Kangaroo Jack, but at least I’m not sitting through Matrix 3 again.” DRAWMA KINGG OUT (gotta go throw some more food at stuff and get away with it).
