Wow, did this movie ever suck.
First off, for immortal creatures, they're not exactly the brightest of people are they. It took them how long to figure out the Arctic gets o sunlight. Secondly, since when does the high-arctic have "30 days of night" and then suddenly it's all back to normal one fine spring morning?
So maybe I'm picky, but I think I prefer my vampires to be rational, thinking characters rather than mindless, bloodthirsty animals. Yo could have taken the vampires right out of this movie and dropped in, oh, I don't know: Zombies, Mummies, Velociraptors, Leprechauns, ANYTHING!
As cheesy horror flicks go, it wasn't horrible. I mean, if you go in with the expectation of story and character development, then I guess you're about as mindless as the vampires. If you watch it cause it's goig to suck, but there will be some funny ways people get killed, then I suppose it does all it needs to.
Finally, I can't recall another movie with quite as much eye-acting. Creepy music on, shifty, nervous eyes... wait... wait... vampire attack.
Also, the guy with the tractor had the right idea, but why did he bring the least explosive dynamite in creation?

Normally I slam everything that gets stolen from my childhood and MichaelBay-ized. But Transformers was fan-fucking-tastic!
As far as screwing with the cartoon storyline. Well, has anyone ever watched all of the Transformers cartoon? It's pretty messed up already as far as continuity errors go. So, I can look past a reimagining.
Anyways, for all the fanboys who hated Optimus' flames or that Jazz didn't talk all crazy (Scatman Crothers = dead, Also Frank Welker/Megatron = dead). It's been 20+ years, so get over yourselves and enjoy the robots that smash each other. Besides, as much as the old cartoon movie rocked, it was a little too wierd to make into a new film.
There will be a sequel, featuring Starscream as the villian and bringing the Constructicons into the story. Mark my words. Also, watch for Josh Duhamel in a reimagined G.I. Joe movie.
Anyways, Transformers really was robots in disguise and more than meets the eye.

What a phenomonal film! Personally, I really dig cop movies but this one was special. In case you don't know, it's about a mole in the Mass. state troopers (Matt Damon) and a mole in the Boston Irish mob (Leo DiCaprio) and the intrigue surrounding.
I've never been a big fan of DiCaprio cause I keep picturing that shit-pile of a movie Titanic, but this was awesome. He pulls off the Irish thing perfectly and the movie has so much intrigue that you're never quite sure what's coming next or who's gonna get their shit blown away... unless you've seen the original Chinese film, Infernal Affairs.
Nicholson is a great bad-guy (as usual) opposite Martin Sheen's Police captain, and gives a really good performance. Not one of his mail-it-in, cheque cashings like some recent movies.
I don't wanna give anything away, but let's just say that The Departed takes the gritty cop film to a whole other level. Blood and guts, high drama, surprises, suspense, a blazing gunfight. It has it all.
Anyways, I would tell anyone to see this movie, except for the squeemish... actually, I'd tell them to get over themselves, be a man and watch the fucking movie, and I'd drop my "R"s and do it with a South Boston accent. How do ya like them apples!?!
