Priest

So the war between humans and vampires is over and humanity's savours, the Priests, are stripped of their power and forced to return to society, a society control by the church.  When one Priest's niece is kidnapped in a vampire attack he breaks his vows to go and rescue her.  He discovers that the war is far from over.  This is a pretty good action flick with some good bits and some not so good bits.  The best part of this film was Karl Urban who's character was excellent and deserved far more time on the screen.

Film 339/365, Day 352/365 – Burlesque

Slick, sexy and funny, which ironically is exactly what you’d expect from a Burlesque show.  The story is nothing new, it’s been done a million times in a million different ways, but with this one it centres around sexy girls dancing and singing in lingerie... and who doesn’t like that?  My biggest criticism is the underuse of Alan Cumming who is hilarious and deserved more screen time.

Synopsis:  Small town girl Ali has dreams of being a star but isn’t getting anywhere so she decides to go to Los Angeles and make her dreams come true.  After stumbling across a Burlesque club she decides that that is what she wants to do and goes about making it happen.

Film 282/365, Day 312/365 – Pandorum

Tense, dark and thoroughly engaging.  Pandorum is a great science fiction film with plenty of action, a good twist and a very enjoyable story.  If you like films set in space, with dark and twisting corridors, people struggling to find out what has happened around them all whilst carnivorous creatures try to eat them... then this is for you!

Synopsis:  Two crew members awaken from an extended stay in hyper-sleep with no memory of who they are and what they are doing there.  Soon they become aware that the reactor that powers the spaceship is hours away from exploding.  Also to make things that much trickier there appears to be something else on the ship and it’s hunting them!
