People still love a tough looking girl pick up the guns and teach badly dressed zombies some manners! Resident Evil: Afterlife predictably took the top spot during the weekend at the US box office with the higher ticket prices for its 3D format helping the movie gross $27 million in the US and $73 million worldwide, making it the best opening weekend in the Resident Evil franchise. Resident Evil 5 is definitely on the cards and I, for certain, am not complaining. The other movies saw big dips in their earnings as Takers moved to second spot and Clooney's The American slipped to third.
For Clint Eastwood fans, the legend is back! Not in front of the camera, but behind it once again as the trailer for his new flick Hereafter starring Matt Damon has been released. A supernatural thriller, the movie is slated for an October release this year. If you are wondering what all the gungho about, well for starters because he is Clint Eastwood! And his directorial CV appears something like this (hold your breath!) : Invictus (nominated for 2 Oscars and 3 Golden Globes), Gran Torino (nominated for 1 Golden Globe), Changeling (nominated for 3 Oscars and 2 Golden Globes), Letters from Two Jima (won 1 Oscar & 1 Golden Globe, also nominated for 3 Oscars and 1 Golden Globe), Flags of Our Fathers (nominated for 2 Oscars and 1 Golden Globe), Mystic River (won 2 Oscars and 2 Golden Globes, also nominated for 4 Oscars and 3 Golden Globes) and on and on and on.... To quote his line from The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, "You see in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend. Those with loaded guns and those who dig." Eastwood is the one with the loaded guns!
