Resident Evil: Extinction

Anisha contacted me in the afternoon saying she wanted to go see a movie at the theatre. Her boss had given her some movie money for Sky City that day. The movie money was due to expire on the 30th, so we needed to use them as soon as possible.

I selected the movie Resident Evil:Extinction. We went to the cinema on Queen Street at the Force Entertainment Centre. I shouted Anisha some Burger King for dinner, and we spent a bit of time in Borders prior to watching the movie. Anisha bought herself a Jamie Oliver cookbook which appeared to be very well priced.

Being the third Resident Evil movie, I was expecting more of the usual crazed zombie attacks as the human race fights for its survival. I was not disappointed. Survivors of the Raccoon City catastrophe travel across the Nevada desert, hoping to make it to Alaska. Alice (Jovovich) joins the caravan and their fight against the evil Umbrella Corporation. The movie ends in an open fashion in order to facilitate a further sequel. The movie run time was a 95 minutes in length, short by modern standards.

Useless Information: In the five years since Las Vegas was evacuated the desert had overrun the city. Yet the courteous zombies still found time to water the palm trees so they don't die.

Thank god it is Friday! Today we were completely short-staffed for a variety of reasons. I suggested to Wayne that he might want to shout us Pizza, which he did.

Anisha and I were going to go to Nandos for dinner, but the queue looked to long so we dined at the fine establishment Burger King.

We are tentatively planning to see the Transformers movie on Saturday. Hopefully Nigel and Kim can make it. He told me his Grandmother is ill in hospital so he must visit her on Saturday. I completely understand if they cant make it.

I left a message on Jonathon's phone because he expressed an interest in coming to the movies. I gave Lydia a call too but couldn't get hold of her.

Nigel sent me the below video showing a guy working on a high power line. I thought it was quite cool, so I uploaded it to Youtube.
