Inky

A few nights back I took up my sister's invitation to go see the film Inkheart. I thought it was a nice little movie that stirred up the imagination. The end, however, had a couple of problems for me. I won't go into what they all were, it just seemed like a little too much formula and not enough punch. Of course I'm sure the book was better than the movie, but as movies go it worked for me.

Blood and bones.

Yesterday I caught latest in Vampire and Werewolf wackiness, Underworld: Rise of the Lycans. These movies have been entertaining, if nothing else, but the story in the other two seemed a bit too . . .rushed maybe, I don't know. "Oh lookie lookie the most dangerous vampire in the world. KILL IT!!!" Five minutes later. "Oh lookie the most dangerous Vampire and Werewolf in the world, quick turn into a cross-breed proto vamp-wolf chick and chop them up with helicopters." Yeah, little silly, but hey I enjoyed them. With this third instalment we go back to beginning of the war between the vamps and the wolves. It explained all of this in the first movie, but I guess it just didn't explain it enough. And when it comes right down too it, I think I prefer the story of this prequel movie over the other two. Things were a little simpler back then.
