Resident Evil: Afterlife (2010)
Paul Anderson shows again he can turn Pure Gold into Feces!
The so called Resident Evil movies are mislabeled, they're not Resident Evil, they're just generic zombie movies with Resident Evil slapped across the title, I still don't understand how Capcom allowed the movies to carry the popular Resident Evil name, they never stick to the story, it has an amazing number of errors which include 98% of the movie being not true to the actual story found in the games.
In a Nutshell, disappointing. The movie was made into a damn action film all over, there's no suspense just incredibly cheesy action scenes and weak tension, this is where I say Paul Anderson is an absolute idiot.
The people who like the movie series have obviously never played the game or they have played the game but never got around knowing the story well, if you did you wouldn't be asking yourself throughout the movie "what the hell am I watching?!" I give it a 1/10 mainly because it doesn't stick to the real story AT ALL, there's ZERO suspense, too many cheesy action and effects **I can't emphasize more how cheesy this movie is** and last but not least it's not a survival horror movie, it's just a stupid action movie with zombies in it... quite frankly Night of the Living Dead deserves more to be called Resident Evil.
Voces inocentes (2004)
A far-cry from what really happened in El Salvador
I have to say, this movie along with Romero [1989] are guerrilla supporting films, always making the Salvadoran Army look bad and imposing the atrocities of the guerrilla on the Army's side... truly ridiculous! I'm from El Salvador and I know how things happened, the Army didn't take young boys forcing them to fight or kidnapping women, THAT NEVER HAPPENED! It was the guerrillas that took young children forcing them to fight, this is a good example:

All of these movies based on the war in El Salvador are truly infuriating, they make the Guerrillas look like the heroes when in fact they were the animals behind the killings, kidnappings of rich people and poor people alike and the whole reason the war broke out! This movie along with Romero are pure and utter failure.
Other than the leftist propaganda the story is more or less interesting, but still quite bland as it revolves around a kid and his idiotic favoritism of the guerrillas. Overall, the movie is a terrible and inaccurate depiction of the war in El Salvador.
