Resident Evil: Afterlife

We'd love to give you the lowdown on the latest entry in the venerable Resident Evil franchise, but Afterlife wasn't screened for critics -- which, given that the best-reviewed entry in the series is at 34 percent, was probably a wise move. Milla Jovovich is back as Alice, a one-woman zombie-killing force; this time out, she's headed to Los Angeles to stop the latest dastardly deeds by the evil Umbrella Corporation. It's time to play guess the Tomatometer! (Plus, we've got tons of Resident Evil-related stuff, including Five Favorite Films with director Paul WS Anderson and star Wentworth Miller. And be sure to check out this week's Total Recall, in which we take a look at some of the best and worst part fours in movie history.)

Also opening this week in limited release:

Who is Harry Nilsson (And Why is Everybody Talkin' About Him)?, a documentary about the enigmatic pop star and John Lennon buddy, is at 100 percent.

Fran�ois Ozon's Hideaway, about a woman who escapes to a beach to escape her troubles, is at 82 percent.

Lovely, Still, starring Martin Landau and Ellen Burstyn in a romance about a woman who unexpectedly enters a lonely man's life, is at 80 percent.

Heartbreaker, a romantic comedy about a suave gentleman who's hired to seduce a woman in order to derail her impending marriage, is at 78 percent.

Bran Nue Dae, a musical comedy about a pair of indigenous Australians finding love in the turbulent 1960s, is at 64 percent.

I'm Still Here, Casey Affleck's is-it-real-or-not document of Joaquin Phoenix's attempt to leave acting for a rap career, is at 54 percent.

The Romantics, starring Katie Holmes and Josh Duhamel in the tale of a group of friends and their romantic entanglements on the eve of a wedding, is at 25 percent.

Legendary, starring Patricia Clarkson and John Cena in a drama about the wrestling team of a small Oklahoma town, is at 18 percent.

i don't know, most reviews always starts bad and gets ways better, some reviews starts good and finishes bad. but this will be defenetivly less better than prince of persia, because it looks SO messy, souless and poorly written.

Did anybody else read this in a Swedish accent? Mid-30's for the tomatometer, but come on, you know you're going to see it anyways!
