Last week turned out to be a vampire week.
We saw Underworld the prequel (also known as The Rise of the Lycans) for an hour and a half with Sbarro pizza and lasagna in our stomachs. The movie may be as twice as bloody as Frank Miller’s 300, but director Patrick Tatopoulos somehow managed to keep all those throat-slashing combats and rolling heads a bit more bearable to look at than Kill Bill. If you’ve watched the two sequels, you know the movie is not just about murdering creatures. It does have a story to boot filmed in a fast paced sequence that hardly left us blinking. Otherwise, you’d miss out certain scenes and spend another hour going through it again.
If you’d ask me if there’s one or two movies I would love to watch over and over again, it’s “A Walk To Remember” and “Becoming Jane”. I’m certainly a fan of tragic or sad endings with a good set of realizations. I think that keeps you believably human.
Renz gave me a thick Breaking Dawn book and a Hair Doctor for an advance birthday gift. I never owned a copy of the Twilight saga, but I’ve read all first 3 books through dial-up internet downloads. That explains it. And the comb? I rarely do comb my hair except every after bath. It’s one reason why I decided to give my hair some sort of an Outer Banks vacation by having it re-bonded last month.
