Watching Daybreakers

I am currently out watching Daybreakers, be back soon with a review……

Okay, so I went in not expecting much, and definitely not expecting to be impressed, but wow! The movie was much better than I ever imagined. The acting, the special effects, the whole plot, and the way it was all put together what amazing. It was in no way cheesy, but was quite bloody, which I don’t mind. Ethan Hawke and Willem Defoe were awesome, and I can’t tell you how happy I am that I actually enjoyed the movie. I mean, I so seldom am ever excited by a movie, and then remain excited after I’ve seen it…..literally never happens for me. Take “Paranormal Activity” it was good, but I was a little disappointed with the ending. It really hit too close to home for me at the time, so that probably helped it. Anyway, back to “Daybreakers”…..I have been reading the reviews and once I saw how it rated with both critics and viewers, I knew that it would be good. Usually, these types of movies rate very low by the critics, but both viewers and critics gave it an A-, which to me is great! I really liked that they changed the whole idea of the old vampire stories, and made it modern and believable by turning vampirism into a virus. I really think it is worth the money to go an see it in the theater, if for nothing else but the big dark theater, surround sound, and the popcorn of course. I even went to see it during the matinee hours and it only cost us $11.00 total. I had to sneak in a Kit-Kat bar and some sweetarts though. I have to say, that this is by far one of the best movies of its kind, and not that I can really compare “Twilight” to this movie, but it totally blew “Twilight” away. I believe that it is still showing in theaters everywhere, and you really don’t want to miss this one. So if you are a vampire fanatic, love to watch scary and gory movies, then you really need to go and see this one. Loved it!

“New Moon”, Much Better Than Twilight!

So, finally got out to see the new movie, “New Moon”……and I have to say that Chris Weitz direction was much better than that of director, Catherine Hardwicke. Many people thought that a man would not be able to capture the true essence of the whole twilight drama, but they were totally wrong about that. I think he added to it by bringing a more masculine side to it by adding a little comedy, and some really good fight scenes and special effects. I read the whole series of “Twilight” books and was very disappointed with the first movie…and script seemed very BLAH, which made the acting by Kristen Stewart even worse than normal. I do have to comment that all of the actors have improved for “New Moon”, maybe it had something with the new direction, and maybe it didn’t. All I can say is that I can’t wait to see what he has in store for us in “Eclipse!”

Scary Movies to Watch for In Theaters Soon!

Well, the second in the series of the three “Twilight” movies, “New Moon”, proved to be a hit this weekend bringing in over $140 million dollars in its first weekend and breaking records with the third highest debut ever. As much as I would have loved to watch “New Moon”, there was one movie that I had not seen that I had to see first. “The Fourth Kind”, which came out on November 6th was still showing in my small town and so my husband and I went to see it this afternoon. I was prepared for disappointment but surprisingly I was not disappointed at all. I enjoyed it, however I am not so sure that the supposed video and audio evidence is actual or not. I tried to look up some information about this Dr. Abigail Tyler, but was not able to find anything but other reviews about the movie, which were not so good. I totally believe in UFO’s and abductions so it is not that difficult to make me believe the evidence was real, but for others who are more skeptical…..I am not so sure. I did enjoy the movie though.

I also got a sneak peek at two other scary movies that will be coming out at the begining of the year. I look forward to watching these. The first is “Daybreakers” starring Ethan Hawke which has an arrival date of January 8th, 2010. It’s definitely not like any vampire movie I have seen in the past, and I look forward to seeing it. I found a trailer on YouTube, so here it is…….Enjoy!

Another movie trailer that I saw was for a movie starring Benicio del Toro, and Anthony Hopkins (my favorite), called “The Wolfman” is due to be out early February 2010. Looks like a great movie with some really good special effects, and how can it not be great when Anthony Hopkins in it! Here is the trailer I found on YouTube, it looks awesome! Enjoy!

“New Moon” The Next Movie in the “Twilight” Series!

My daughter started reading the “Twilight” series over a year ago. I started reading them at the beginning of this year and couldn’t put them down. Finished the first book within three days, the second in four, and the third in four, and now I am waiting for more. I love them! I was very disappointed by the movie though, which is usually the case. I am looking forward to better acting and a bigger budget with this next movie. I can’t wait to see it. I found a movie trailer on YouTube and wanted to share…. Enjoy!

Vampires Have They Evolved?

Vampires have been made very popular during this past year with the book series ”Twilight”. I myself have read and enjoyed the entire series and look forward to the next book. I have also seen the movie and I have to say that the books were far better. It seems that more people love vampires than even I once thought. Have you ever wondered if vampires ever really existed or if they have only evolved and still exist in society today? There are many websites about vampires, with vampire chat rooms, where people who claim to be vampires visit and share information. Vampires are defined as reanimated corpses that leave their graves at night to feed on the blood of their sleeping victims. More recently though, vampires have been defined as creatures capable of draining not only the blood from their victims, but the energy of their victims. This new vampire is called an emotional or energy vampire. They have the ability to feed off of your energy and will pick a fight with you or upset you just to take this powerful energy from you. There have been a number of television talk shows that have hosted all types of vampires. They are very real, and even more dangerous as they are no longer confined to darkness, and have become a part of our everyday lives, living, working, and breathing in our world.
