Movie Weekend
Ok, I confess, I spent my Valentine weekend watching Movies.
Saturday, Valentines Day -
Movie: Underworld III - Rise of the Lycans
Rating: 6 (out of 10) for sheer presence of factual loopholes
Let me start this with a qualification, I have this certain liking for Vampires over the lowly Lycans. Seriously, Lycans are too ugly!
That being said, I rather dislike the movie for massively portraying Vampires as scheming, haughty and weak creatures.
Underworld III attempts to explain the beginning of the unending war between the immortal bloodlines of vampires and werewolves. In doing so, it made use of the of politics-and-love-equals-war formula. Can it be more cliche?
Victor, the vampire elder was protrayed as a politician so consumed with power that he was willing to execute his daughter just so he appears politically correct and righteous. But isn't this precisely the call of justice?
Here are some garment-rending uber-lamentable factual loopholes in the movie.
(1) Vampires using their mirrors! Yes, folks, the vamps here used mirrors. What happened to them supposedly not having reflections?
(2) A horde of pure-blooded adult Vampires shrieking at the sight of two ugly werewolves. Boy oh boy, can it get any silly. Vamps, pure-blooded at that, can and should tackle werewolves, much more when there's a horde of them against, how many, two, yes two. Exasperating scene really if you ask me.
Now enough rant for Underworld.

Movie: Valkyrie
Rating: 9
This movie, I like very much. It just makes you think what could've happened had Hitler really been killed.
Nothing much really need be said other that me feeling funny watching the same actor play in two moives I watched over the weekend. One of the protagonist in Valkyrie, Gen. Olbricht, played by Bill Nighy, was actually the one who played the role of Victor in Underworld III. Weird, really.

Philosophical Rant
I'm very distressed, consequently this has pushed me to reced into my usual philosophical ranting and raving.
Await for further ruminations to be published.
