"I just want to make one really good movie a year." - Milla Jovovich

Resident Evil: Extinction (2007)
Ultraviolet (2006)
The Star Element (2005) 
Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004)
You Stupid Man (2002)
The House on Turk Street (2002)
Resident Evil (2002)

Hm, Dazed and Confused (1993) was good ... maybe she meant one really good movie per decade?

As far as Fifth Element is concerned, she turned in a good showing, I thought.  Remember when everyone was wearing thermal bandages for a few months there?

Hehehe, she failed. Ow, she is a beautiful model and has millions, most of which earned by these crappy movies?... I'll shut up.

Ultraviolet was so bad, it's not even funny. I think that's one of the movies I riffed on more than there was actual movie!  I kept going even after we left the theater! I almost want Mike to do it as another 'Trax, but I would be ashamed to put his life in jeopardy like that.

I read somewhere that she felt that her name was exploited in Dazed & Confused because she appears only very briefly in the film, while marketing made a big todo about her appearance.

Even though it seems she can't pick a decent script to save her life, I actually quite like her.  She's got a fair amount of charisma onscreen, and isn't too bad with the ol' acting.  It's everything around her that sucks.

I agree.  The few times I've seen her -- Resident Evil, Messenger, Fifth Element -- she has filled her role well ... She can be compelling to watch, and not just for her beauty.  But things like Resident Evil kinda sucked (aside from about 5 minutes of footage) so her attachment to a project lends no confidence.

...actually she did a pretty good one: Dummy starring that hawk-nosed fella that won best actor a few years back.

Don't let the title fool you, it's rather entertaining. Stellar cast too. Totally not the role Milla usually does... not that she has a type, per se.
...for the last time, yes, I make all my icons myself!

I second that call. I rented Ultraviolet some time back, and just when I thought it was over (when she got killed 2/3 of the way through the flick), it kept on going! Lawd, Mike, riff this one already!

I also loved her character in Zoolander. She didn't really act much but had some great outfits :)
