A densely erotic, twisted take on teen screen romance, Twilight zones out beneath the crushing weight of underage lust intensified and complicated by the excruciating abstention here of unorthodox vampire appetites.watch movies onlinehttp://www.watch-the-movies-online.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23449634.post-22514880886998682072010-12-12T23:25:29.136-08:002010-12-12T23:25:29.136-08:00Hi Christine and Nicole, cheers for the input.
Ch...Hi Christine and Nicole, cheers for the input.<br /><br />Christine the film is about 50-60% more of the same but then 40-50% more action orientated - sans gore.<br /><br />Nicole, you'd definitely like my hooded top with a certain mulleted vampire reproduced on it and the legend Real Vampires Don't Sparkle.Taliesin_ttlghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10105263634442191232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23449634.post-25101609572489238922010-12-12T20:28:26.709-08:002010-12-12T20:28:26.709-08:00I actually like the 13 Ghosts re-make (Matthew Lil...I actually like the 13 Ghosts re-make (Matthew Lillard makes the film), and The Haunting with Julie Harris and Claire Bloom is my all-time favorite scary movie. The re-make -- I just pretend it never happened. ;-)<br /><br />Eclipse didn't do it for me, either on a book or movie level, because it had too much teenage whiny drama. I realize that loads of people love it for this, and as Taliesin said, differences make the world go around.<br /><br />I prefer my teenage vampires to sport mullets and jean jackets, a la The Lost Boys.<br /><br />Thanks for the review, TaliesinNicole Hadawayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17077456538089754656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23449634.post-50069139544246274882010-12-12T14:48:02.854-08:002010-12-12T14:48:02.854-08:00Now, I am not Twilight-hater - that fashion is irr...Now, I am not Twilight-hater - that fashion is irritating virus polluting net like slime - BUT I don´t think Twilight looked even pretty. Is it me or were all colours sickly greenish blue? And then Bella sighs "Oh my God. You are beautiful" for some guy perspirating... sorry, sparkling with that sick-looking lighting. Hm. I suppose Eclipse is more the same. Although lack of gore is always good in my books.

But the key stars vary from below average to rubbish. If Greene and Ferland can make more out of less then they should be able to as well. I nearly went to 4 out of 10 in this, because of the action sequences, but Slade bottled it and ultimately they weren't that high a quality.<br /><br /><br />New Moon was atrocious (and stopped me actually bothering watching this at the cinema) and this below average imho.<br /><br />I agree, 30 Days is a good taco and Let Me In a boef bourgingon - a brilliant analogy btw. This was more a take away doner kebab with some very limp salad involved. :)<br /><br />Be that as it may, different opinions are what make this world go round. I will just mention - being picky ;) - that 13 ghosts was a remake of 13 ghosts (and the original 13 ghosts was a rubbish film, the remake was actually superior). The original the Haunting was one of the best ghost stories submited to celluloid, the remake (also called the Haunting) is not mentioned... best forgotten methinksTaliesin_ttlghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10105263634442191232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23449634.post-68903680080331374172010-12-12T09:56:29.850-08:002010-12-12T09:56:29.850-08:00Maybe I'm not critical enough, or have a diffe...Maybe I'm not critical enough, or have a different set of expectations or simply am coming from another "place," but all three films have been well-above-average renderings of average-quality adaptations of perfectly readable stories to me. Not a lot of depth, most of the real insight that is at least explored in the books gone, etc. Typical, but not horrible. I thought the cast did a good job with what they were given. Had I gone in thinking this was anywhere near the quality of <i>Strigoi</i> or <i>Shadow of the Vampire</i> then boy would this be one annoyed filmgoer! But I didn't so I'm not. A poor analogy would be complaining because <i>13 Ghosts</i> was nothing at all like the original <i>The Haunting</i>. Well, yeah, but that wasn't what I was looking for. Just wanted the cinematic equivalent of a nice plate of cookies. Which is what I got.<br /><br /><i>30 Days of Night</i>? A pretty good taco.<br /><br /><i>Let Me In</i>? A top quality dish of boef bourgingon over rice.Zahir Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14533361554787004824noreply@blogger.com
