Very good uplifting inspirational movie. Sandra Bullock gives a strong performance. It was better than I thought it would be. One of the more effective films of it's kind.

Serves as a perfect example of how adept and proficient Sergio Leone was as a director. I thought this movie would be more like a sweeping epic gangster movie similar to The Godfather. In a way it is, but more often than not it isn't. The two movies frequently contrast and differ with each other. I'm not sure if it's even fair to compare the two because the two films are aiming to accomplish different agendas and both follow distinct paths. The ambiguity and various forms of symbolism presented

Blood: The Last Vampire (2009) - Rated 17 Nov 2009

Not as bad as I thought it would be, although that's not saying much. The action scenes aren't that bad except they seem kind of superfluous and overlong. The blood is really fake looking and the cgi used to create it is too noticeable. The movie is quite slick and even stylish at times. Unfortunately, the acting comes off as amaturish and the script doesn't fare much better. Going in with low expectations and not expecting much is probably the way to go when preparing to watch this movie.
