Birthdays: January 6, 1412 > Joan of Arc. January 7, 1844> Marie Bernadette Soubirous. Are they related or what?

No one knows.

Anyway, husband suggested for us to watch the latest of the Resident Evil: Retribution. I don't know if this is the last of the series or sequel. But when it comes to action, suspense movies, Milla J. always lead the way. In this movie Milla alias Alice narrated what happened to her in the past from the very beginning of the Project Alice under the mysterious organization called UMBRELLA. The organization is undercover and underground to fight terrorists and what's causing havoc to planet earth be of virus, zombies and many hazards that got in their way.

In this sequel "Retribution" Alice found out that she is a mother and had one daughter who is with a disability. One of her co-workers in the Umbrella Org. was her husband. Then another character was introduced, then another ah, so many of them. Red Queen rules them through the computer system but her role seems neutral. It doesn't show natural emotion of showing her true sides whether on the sides of Alice or the other characters in the Umbrella simply because the Red Queen is a machine. She is a computer running them everywhere from Japan, New York to Russia. The end of the route is at the White House and what will happen there seems to be a continuation of the next plot or another series in the future.

What makes this movie successful? Alice is a project. Only a project and its mostly computerized and on 3D partly animated. So the scenes of death is not that gruesome unlike Mortal Kombat. Actually even if its animated and on 3D version aren't you affected of so much brutal killings. It's crazy!

Hockey Game reached its verdict of going back to the arena on mid January  2013. Are you excited? I am not! I couldn't care less. Too much time wasted.

What's really the cause of their lockout? They had a long strike that we cannot determine their problem. Clamor for demand to the hockey game? Pay hike or wage hike? Troubles? Concussion issue? The only thing that can make hockey game better than it is before? Players are not allowed to punch, kick, nor there'll be touching of another player in another team. Body contact is not allowed. No boxing fight allowed in the hockey arena. Keep it clean. Anybody who disobeyed the rules be punished and have to be replaced right immediately by another player. Uhm, strict rules eh? It's up to their coach, managers and the NHL players actually. Fans of the hockey game had their say too whether they will pay a hefty sum of ticket, sports products: jersey, cap, shirts, puck, hockey stick and other souvenir items or watch something else on TV or rather watch other sports events.
