Underworld: Awakening

This film ticks so many boxes that I am guaranteed to watch it.  Vampires – ding, werewolves – ding, lots of action – ding, Kate Beckinsale in a leather corset – ding, ding, ding… we have a winner!  All that said however I am left feeling slightly disappointed.  The story was almost beyond predictable and lacked any real punch or intrigue.  No doubt they will make another, which is fine I’m more than likely to watch it (feels kind of like the Resident Evil series, if they keep making them I’ll keep watching them), but I’d be much happier if they worked on the story a bit more.

Film 158/365, Day 166/365 – V for Vendetta

A fantastically dark and intense film and a very real warning about voter apathy, if you don’t vote someone like this could very well sneak into a position of power.  There are some excellent action scenes throughout, some incredibly unbelievable but all the better for it.  The story itself is excellent and very well directed and acted.  Also Patrick from Coupling can be found here!

Synopsis:  Great Britain is now ruled by a fascist totalitarian government, everyone must follow the rules or face extermination.  One freedom fighter who wears a Guy Fawkes mask and is known only as V.  Using terrorist tactics against the government he seeks to inspire the repressed inhabitants to rise up against the government.
