Taken. I really enjoyed it, even though it felt formulaic and very familiar in places. Very much a post-Bourne action film. I think there's a surprisingly neat divide between old-school action films where the hero jumps around with a sub-machine gun in each hand and makes a joke every five minutes, and modern ones where the hero is a quiet, methodical person. I enjoy both, but if one of the former kind comes out nowadays, there's no way I can take it seriously.
What DVD / Video did you watch last night? (pt2)

One on one? You're crazy.
Saw that at the Australian Film Festival - quite liked it, not that much of a vampire film lover, but it turned the genre on it's head a bit, vampires being the norm, humans being hunted and farmed

To the Bat-poles!
I thought the premise was great and they'd imagined a world run by vampires really well - but the storyline didn't quite live up to it.

Yeah! Probably. I mean ffs the director shouts "action" cue to young said actor lying face down in sum gravel after just being beaten and nearly killed by a (insert yer typical hana montana holywood teen actress) When a voice from above says "seek out the water it will heal you" Cue desperate attempt of said actor to crawl to the waters edge and slowly push his hand into the water which miracously heals his wounds. he's now a one man fighting machine and precedes to maim 10 soldiers / plus re/fights the girl n wins! But guess wot he doesnt kill her! No! He gives her sword back!

A 1967 Peter Watkins movie (just after he'd quit the beeb) about how the church and government use a pop star (Paul Jones, really rather good) to stop youth rebelling. Very funny and even slightly prophetic.
I was surprised to find the Patti Smith song comes from it as well.

I thought it was really good, but then I am easily pleased.

So many particulars. So many questions.
daybreakers. A well executed slice of frankly patronising morality. Or just a twist on the the standard of vamp fiction. Not sure yet, will think on in the morning

Right, after some shallow thought I think the film is not a metaphor for anything really but made good use of Sam 'I'll take any role me' Niel

Most of volume 1 of Readers Digest's best of Ronnie Barker - included a clip of a (BBC?) version of A Midsummer's Night Dream with him as Bottom. Realised why I've only seen cut versions of the Grand Wizard of the golden rivet & the hieroglyphics sketch via the clip-shows - mm-mmm at Miss Exotica Stormtrooper
