Resident Evil

Before I forget, I watched Resident Evil for the first time last night and although I guiltily enjoyed it, the plot holes were SO MASSIVELY HUGE it was unreal.

Such as the S.T.A.R.S, supposedly a specially trained government team of gunmen, fighting this like steroid injected zombie with loads of armour on, apart from it's face for some reason. So they obviously shoot continuously at it's armoured, bulletproof chest instead of going for it's head, which as everyone who's ever played a zombie video game knows, are a zombie's weak point!

In one scene the protagonists are walking through a graveyard (when you're already scared of the undead, why not wander through the scariest place imaginable?) and suddenly ALL of the dead people buried for however many years spring up at the same time as the undead. In the film they say it's a virus, but how would the dead get an infection buried six feet under? Even if from some strange virus did infect the dead (impossible) how would they all get infected at the exact same time and manage to claw their way through a coffin and tonnes of soil at the same time?

Not even going into detail about Mila's character being able to spring and leap around tens of feet in the air, or be able to fight zombies in hand-to-hand combat without getting a scratch that has a chance of soaking up their deadly virus.

If you can somehow switch your brain off entirely and ignore the stupidest overlookings by the writer ever, it is actually quite an enjoyable, action packed film. Worth a watch, I guess. What do you think?

Foo Fighters

Foo Fighters are playing at Leeds in August - literally cannot wait! If I can write books that covey the same kind of emotion that they do in each and every song, I'll be happy.

At the minute, my favourite songs are Learn to Fly and Times Like These.

Times Like These has literally gotten me through the lowest times, and I often listen to the lyrics when I'm confused about something and whatever kind of interpretation of the song I get I take it as some kind of advice and work off that, and it makes me feel a million times better.

Anyway, back to moooooore writing!

NCIS

I absolutely love NCIS! Spent the last hour trying to think ahead and guess the plot but it's no use. I always wonder how they write the storyline for those things. It's always the same, they find the murder, think they know why it happened/who did it, they find a crucial piece of information, they reevaluate, they catch the killer.
The murders are always so complicated, do they work backwards? They must start with a basic murder then build a web of intricacy around it for NCIS to work out piece by piece. I don't know, but it's really great watching.
The episode I just finished, Tony and Ziva have to pretend to be a married spy couple, fuelling the will they/won't they thing they have going on with pretend sex, to overthrow a murderer wanted in five different countries. Great stuff! Love seeing those two arguing and flirting!

Anyway, comment below with your opinions, what's better, CSI (any type) or NCIS?
