    Heretic

    I have to think that Mormon missionaries who look like Sophie Thatcher and Chloe East would have insane recruitment stats. When I was a younger, lonelier man, those two could've talked me into worshipping literally anything.

    ★★★½

    A fun little bit of 80's horror. I'm hesitant to call it cheese, because it's surprisingly well-made. Worth a watch on Shudder.

    Resident Evil: Extinction

    In a game-to-film series full of baffling adaptation choices, the most baffling choice in this entry is the bizarre ultra-smoothing filter placed on Milla Jovovich's face anytime she is shown in closeup. This is possibly one of the most beautiful people ever put on film, at age 32 when this came out, and they've got her slathered in virtual Vaseline like DeNiro in The Irishman. Very distracting stuff. Otherwise, this movie holds its own. The zombie crow sequence is genuinely thrilling, and Jorah from Game of Thrones as a slimy scientist (inevitably) turns into a pretty cool monster. Solid flick.
