Underworld. Overwhelming.

Double your pleasure. Double your guns.

I have to hand it to SYLG readers; when they're right, they're right. After asking your opinion for the more watchable movie, Underworld was the overwhelming winner. I took your advice, and sat down last night for two hours of (hopefully) entertaining cinema.

Underworld didn't disappoint. The 2003 film about a modern-day war between vampires (like Kate Beckinsale, pictured) and werewolves was action-packed from the opening subway shootout to the final bloody battle. Wyatt likey!

Of course, being a huge fan of the Blade trilogy, Underworld was already an attractive option. Kate Beckinsale in a leather catsuit? Yeah, that clinched it. Bonus points for a supporting cast of both Robbie Gee ("Kahn," who played "Vincent" in Snatch) and Wentworth Miller ("Dr. Adam Lockwood," who plays "Michael Scofield" in Prison Break).

  1. You forgot Phillip from Shaun of the Dead, Bill Nighy. Very Good! (Not to be confused with Bill Nye the Science Guy).

    Big Black Mark on the movie however, is Shane Brolly. One of the worst performance in a movie ever. . . .and I've seen Killer Clowns from Outer Space about 5 times.

  2. Agreed on both counts. Nighy was terrific as Viktor, and Brolly was brutal as Kraven.

    You saw Killer Clowns from Outer Space FIVE TIMES??? Ouch.

    I wouldn't kick her out of bed for eating crackers. Unless of course there was more room on the floor...
