Film Review - "Resident Evil"

by Eric Hillis, TheMovieWaffler.com
published 2026-09-26

Following 2021's Welcome to Raccoon City and a short lived 2022 Netflix series, this is the third attempt to reboot the Resident Evil property in just the last half decade. The decision to hand the IP over to Zach Cregger, of Barbarian and Weapons fame, initially seemed odd, as Cregger's previous work in the horror genre is so distinctive that he doesn't seem like the sort of filmmaker who would be happy to play in someone else's sandbox. But Cregger has made this reboot his own. Remove the title and you essentially have a standalone movie, one that thankfully doesn't rely on prior knowledge of either the original video games or the numerous screen adaptations.

The Bob Band - A Bob Dylan Tribute

There are multiple performances including:

Friday, October 09, 2026 @ 8:00pm

The Strand Center for the Arts
400 Clifton Avenue, Lakewood, NJ

Experience the music of Bob Dylan like never before as The Bob Band brings his legendary songs to The Strand, in a moving and deeply authentic concert. This Washington D.C. Quintet offers a richly musical journey through Dylan’s extraordinary catalog, performing with authenticity, reverence and a clear love for the music. Rather than imitating Dylan, the band brings decades of experience to arrangements that highlight the character and depth of his recordings across folk, rock, country, blues, and gospel. With thoughtful storytelling and a rotating setlist that includes “like a Rolling Stone, Tangled Up in Blue, Mr. Tambourine Man, and Make You Feel My Love”. The Bob Band captures the sound and soul of one of the most influential artists of all time. It’s not imitation-it’s a celebration of the music that became it’s own genre.
