Daybreakers

Within the glut of vampires all drippy with teen angst, this movie stands out nicely. No one looking longingly across the room at anyone and no fancy-pantsy laced and pasty-faced prancers making me wish theatre seats had air-sickness bags in a pouch at the back of the seat ahead of me. Granted, the audience -- and I -- were actually laughing out loud at the climax of the movie (bad, bad choice to put it in slow motion, you silly filmmakers), but up until then it was pretty entertaining (if a bit gory), what with the action, and near misses, and suspenseful moments and Willem Dafoe. Verdict: Movie Rental
