    Come on Guys we forgot one.......

    Embrace of the Vampire. The Alyssa Milano film where she spends a lot of time nekkid. Lousy plot, lousy actors, but some nice boobage :D:p

    I now remember seeing a show on the making of "Shadow of the Vampire". They were trying to make it as close to "Nosferatu" as they could while using modern equipment. I wonder why I never saw it.....hmmmm:confused::confused:

    I've got a free rental at BB. I'll see if they have a copy to rent.

    Hmmm. I might have to check out the Blade series. Who stars in it & what is the general plot?

    Shadow of The Vampire (Willem Dafoe's make-up was extraordinary as was his portrail of the character Max Schreck) John Malkevich was in it as well. A very weird old school Vampire movie. From a pure theatrical POV this is a great movie. You have to be pretty well versed in old style vampire/horror movies to really appreciate the quirkiness of this movie. Simply an excellent period piece, funny as hell too.
    That's the one I could not remember the name of....

    Agree 100% with h9's assessment of it. I loved the film...

    Cathy,

    You'll be in Heaven. Wesley Snipes plays a mutant Vampire that hunts down other Vampires in his quest to save humanity from them. He is called a daywalker because sunlight has no affect on him. He also takes a special serum to keep his thirst for blood in check. The first two are pretty cool, but the third, while being fairly entertaining, leaves alot to be desired.

    A bit of a stretch here but for you sci-fi/vampire buffs but check out "Lifeforce". Space vampires can be scary too! The chick that plays the "vampire" is severly doable!

    Wonderful added bonus! While I'm at it I'm going to pick up War of the Worlds since I haven't seen that yet either. I just might get them tonight!:D

    Well I picked up all 4 movies last night & watched WOTW & Blade 1.

    WOTW was disappointing & that's putting it mildly! Those ******* kids ruined the entire movie for me! Nuff said!:mad:

    Now Blade seriously ROCKED!!!! What a lot of fun. If the other 2 are as much fun as the first one, these will be a permanant buy!

    Thanks guys!:D

    Yep, Dakota gets on my every last nerve in that movie. Seems all she did was scream throughout the freakin movie.
