Vampires are so in right now.. and I've bought into it.


what an interesting concept for a movie, we're in the year 2019, and 95% of the world is vampires, and there isn't much human blood left, there are companies that farm humans to get their blood. If a vampire goes without blood he starts turning into a Nosferatu lookin vampire, becoming more and more grotesque.

Edward (ethan hawke) is working on a blood substitute so that the world can keep going on, when he stumbles upon some humans who have a cure. His brother, a human farmer, is not happy about it, obviously.

Edward and his new human friends figure out how to replicate the cure and tries to infiltrate the vampire world, the problem with that is that so many Vampires haven't had blood in awhile that they just start attacking everyone... no care about a cure.

I really liked this movie, it's more traditional, vampires can't be in the sun, they feed on humans, and they're huge jerks when they don't feed.. seems like some people I know.

I really liked the futuristic world that they've built to make sure everyone is taken care of, Subway-esqe walkways.

Fantastic Mr. Fox

IMDB - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0432283/

Although I like Wes Anderson movies, I didn't know how I'd feel about this movie, as I'm not a huge fan of George Clooney, and this is animated? I was skeptical.

I'm so glad I saw this movie, It was quite wonderful! I don't remember this book from when I was a kid... so I can't compare it.

I loved all the people in this movie, although I'm surprised that Angelica Houston wasn't Ms. Fox... or in the movie at all, as she's usually a staple in Wes' movies.

This movie is about a fox who loves to be a bandit, when he finds out he'll be a father his wife asks him to quit all the messing around... fast forward to a life with a wife and a young cub, his nephew comes to live with them and he can't help but get into his old tricks.. stealing chickens and cider.. the great heist! when the land owners start learning that Mr. Fox is stealing from them, they go after him at full force. Sparking a huge battle.. This movie goes an the adventure of this Fox family's life time.

This movie is quite hilarious and intriguing, I love that it's stop motion!

Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant

IMDB - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0450405/

My friend Julie's friend raved about this movie to Julie and we decided to give it a try, I mean why not, we like vampire's and we like John C Reilly, we knew it would probably be cheesy but we hoped for entertaining.

I fell asleep half way through.

We've got a kid obsessed with spiders and his BFF is obsessed with bats, but there is a twist! (obviously) To save his BBF's life, Darren had to trade his mortal soul, yadda yadda yadda. There is a monkey girl, some older vampires looking to fight some 'evil vampires'... I mean if Willem Dafoe signed on for the movie, there has to be something about it that's intriguing... nothing that held my attention.

I'm told that the books series for this movie(s) are better than what was adapted to screen, but I wouldn't really waste my time.
