Underworld - Rise of the Lycans - Jan 2009

this is the unfortunate love story that is hinted about several times in the first two movies. The daughter of the vampire lord falls in love with the werewolf slave. For awhile they meet in secret and have trysts but eventually are found out and she is pregnant. The punishment for unclean betrayal of vampire purebloodness is death, a sentence even her own father refuses to lift. They force the lycan to watch as they tie her to a pole and open the ceiling knowing what will happen to her when the sun comes up. Having nothing more to lose the lycans rise up and revolt, slaves no more. Sonja, the vampire princess is played by Rhona Mitra. The lycan lover - Lucien is played by Michael Sheen. And the Vampire Lord (in all three movies) Viktor, is played by Bill Nighy.

The Unborn - Jan 2009

I am going to try to review this one but it was hard to follow and very confusing to me. Definitely a wierd one. From what I gather a pregnant woman slowly becomes possessed by a spirit that is the result of a curse that haunts the family whenever twins are present. The twin that died in utero years ago now wants its turn to live and tries to take over its sister during her time of greatest vulnerability...her pregnancy. Its happened before to her mother and to her grandmother and is pure evil. The pregnant chick is running against time to stop the possession from completeing and to save her soul. Good for a one time watch when bored, online where its free, but I wouldnt waste my money in theatre or buying the DVD.

New Moon - Nov 2009

The second movie in the Twilight Saga is New Moon. During Bella's birthday party at the Cullin's residence she cuts her finger. One of the newer vampires in the family looses control charges her. Disaster is headed off but it scares the bejeezus out of Edward who decides it is too danger for her to be around the vampires any longer. Bella pleads that all can be fixed if he changes her over to one of them but he is dead set against it, loving her too much to submit her to a life like he has to live.
The Cullins pack up and leave, leaving Bella behind with a broken heart. She discovers that if she risks her life with danger his apparition appears to her. Needing to see him she time after time pulls dangerous stunts. Trying to move on, she starts a friendship with Jacob Black (Tyler Lautner), a native american boy who is also in love with her.
Victoria, one of the nasty vampires from the group in the last movie is back and after Bella in revenge for her mate being killed and Jacob and his pack of werewolves do their best to protect her. The next book/movie in the series is Eclipse and is currently in production, due to be released in june 2010 and I literally can't wait.

Twilight - Nov 2008

Bella's mother remarries and while they are away on their trip they send Bella (played by Kristen Stewart) to live with her father in Forks, WA. While she is there she falls head over heels for Edward Cullins,(played by Robert Pattinson) who at first resists her interest, but she keeps at it. Finally he succombs to her charms. She figures out through wierd things that happen that he is a vampire, but she is completely unafraid and just as much in love as before she knew. They decide to give it a shot. His family is not the human blood drinking type but they still have the urges and Edward needs to control these.
The only real action in the movie is when another vampire click moves into town and starts killing and drinking people. Over all, it is a beautiful romance drama story between a human and a vampire if I had 12 thumbs theyd all be up -- and I usually don't like sappy movies but have always been a vampire fan.

Lost Boys: The Tribe - July 2008

Set some time after the original Lost Boys movie, Chris Emerson (Tad Hilgenbrink) and his sister Nicole Emerson (Autumn Reeser) lose both their parents in an automobile accident and move in with their aunt in the California beach town that is as the old man in the first movie says "Crawling with damn vampires".
there is a gang of surfers (guess what? Their vampires) who rule the beach and of course Nicole falls for one of them. Chris must intervene before she becomes one of them and of course who comes to his aid but Edgar Frog (played once again by Corey Fieldman)
Sam Emerson (Corey Haim) appears ever so briefly, now a vampire, for a verbal exchange with Frog.

Seamstress - Oct 2009

An innocent woman is tortured and killed by a vigilante mob for torturing and killing their children. They sew her mouth shut and cut out her eyes. Before dying she ripped her mouth free and uttered a horrible curse. The real killer is to be brought to her or else she will kill any who come to the island she haunts.
Fast forward about 20 years. A young girl and her friends take a boat to the island following a trail to her missing father, and the slaughter begins.

Giallo - 2009

Giallo is Italian for yellow and thats exactly what the villian is in the this movie. This very ugly man who hates anything beautiful, and has hepatitus, kidnaps beautiful women, torturing and disfiguring them to death.
Usually he kidnaps alien women who are not from his country and will not be missed by anyone so there are rarely compliants but this time he picks a beautiful supermodel whose sister, Celine(played by Elsa Pataky) is in town visiting her, and who is on the phone with her at the time of abduction
The sister enlists the help of inspector Enzo Lavia(played by Adrien Brody) and together they race against time before the kidnapped becomes another fatality of Giallo the butcher (played by Giuseppe Loconsole)
Well done for a drama/thriller though I didn't care for the ending much.
