Comic: Marvel Universe Vs Punisher Issue 1 and 2

The idea for this story is simple. The Marvel Universe has been infected by a virus that bears a remarkable resemblance to the virus from 28 days later. The virus makes the infected return to a primal state and was developed to allow humans to eat anything if there was ever a nuclear fallout. In the first issue Deadpool makes an appearance. Well, the infected version of him. The Punsiher says hes killed him over 30 times and he still comes back. In issue 2 the hulk makes an appearance along with patient zero. If you are going to read this comic then skip the next sentence. Patient zero is Spider-man who was the first infected and ate the Rhino. Patient Zero fights the Punisher in issue 3 however I havent picked that issue up yet. This story was created by Jonathan Marberry and artwork was done by Goran Parlov. I love the artwork in this book and in my opinion the plot is amazing. Apparently there was a rumor that this was the original idea for Marvel Zombies with The Punisher as the last infected. Instead they have released this four part series. I enjoyed the first two issues and cant wait to pick up the next two. When I do I will post another review. I give this story a 8/10 just because I would like The Punisher to be attacked by a horde of heros rather than one at a time and some of the fights are a little bit short however it is worth picking up.

Movie:Resident Evil Afterlife

Anytime a film based upon one of my all time favourite games I have to go and see it, and boy did it live up to expectation. This film put simply is awesome! The 3d effects are brilliantly. There were a number of times I tried to duck when a massive axe was thrown out of the screen. An added bonus was the appearance of some of my favourite resident evil characters. Chris Redfield makes an appearance, played by Wentworth Miller the main character from Prison Break. Also Albert Wesker has more of a role in this film. In the previous film he made a cameo appearance however in this film he is the main baddie and I have to say he is awesome! I havent stopped playing Resident Evil 5 since I saw it and I highly recommend you see this film. I give this film a 9/10.

The Last Exorcism

This Horror film comes from the mind of Eli Roth star of the Inglorious Basterds film. Inspired by such films as The Exorcist and The exorcism of Emily Rose I went into this film hoping that it would live up to these films however I came out completly dissapointed. The main character of this film is a preist who conducts fake exorcisms. He is producing a documentary to show exorcisms are fake therefore this film is filmed in a blair witch style. It was meant to be his last exorcism however the girl he meets is actually possesed. This film had so much potential. At many points in the film I was anticipating the girl to jump out and scare the life out of me. However when they go into a room thats empty they find her sitting in a corner. How is that meant to be scary? The ending also completly ruins the film. I will not say what happens but im sure if you watch it you will know what I mean. I went into this film expecting to be freaked out however I laughed more than I was scared therefore I give this film a 4/10
