Vampires Edge Out Box Office Competition

[Mr. Blonde]

After all the talk about Brokeback Mountain leading the box office during the week it only manages 5th at the box office.

[A CA Guy]

I saw Underworld and it was one of the best Sci-Fi hits I've ever seen.

[RightWhale]

Can't ever be enough vampire movies.

[bray]

After sweeping the Golden Boob awards Fag Mounting only gets 5th??

Pray for W and Our Freedom Fighters

[chae]

It rocked.

[mainepatsfan]

It was awesome. Kate Beckinsale was beyond hot!

[Mr. Blonde]

I wasn't a huge fan of Underworld, but I'm probably going to see the new one for one reason:

[chae]

Also, it didn't totally disregard what happened in the first movie. Some sequels tend to do that.

[mainepatsfan]

It also left it open for another one.

[A CA Guy]

She is sizzling, but the movie was great as well.

Good writing, effects, continuity, drama and originality.
Exciting all the way through, none of the movie dragged.

[mainepatsfan]

I always get worried when I go to sequels because they usually stink. This was one of the rare times when it surpassed the original. I hope that trend continues with the Pirates of the Caribbean sequel.

[thoughtomator]

You mean more people want to see a sci-fi movie than one about gay shepherds? What is this world coming to?

[Emmalein]

I agree completely!

[Perdogg]

[Old Seadog]

"Can't ever be enough vampire movies."

"That's vat I used to say,"

[A CA Guy]

Well, I won't see Pirates due to certain French loving actors.
I hope you enjoy yourself though.

[mainepatsfan]

I don't like his politics either but he is too damn good as Capatin Jack Sparrow to pass up watching.

[Mr. Blonde]

He is too good in any role for me to pass up. His movies are mostly apolitical, and I'm not going to begrudge anyone their personal beliefs.

[mainepatsfan]

This is one vampire I won't run from.

I hated the first Underworld movie. Ok, you have a story about vampires against werewolves, pretty cool idea, ok? And then you ruin it by "Matrix-ifying" it. You could have taken the vampires and the werewolves out of it and it would have been the same movie. When you offer a movie about two iconic horror concepts, and turn it into an excuse for redundant "gun fu", you've broken into the negatives on a Creative IQ test. I want werewolves and vampires clawing at each other, vampires turning into bats and sniping out werewolf eyeballs, werewolves eating the limbs of vampires like chicken legs, that's what I want from a werewolf vs. vampire heavyweight match, not a replay of a slow mo John Woo gunfight! There's been five billion gun fu movies, and after the Blade series, good guy vampires out to save the world, but has there ever been a movie where a werewolf ate a vampire's organs on screen?!? NO. BAIT AND SWITCH, BAIT AND SWITCH!

Frothing at the mouth rant over.
