Current mood:  tired
This weekend I went to see 30 Days of Night down in Tukwila and I was very pleased with the movie and the audience. The movie was great (for a horror gore-fest) and Josh Hartnett really shows off his acting chops as the lead character. Strange enough though he did not steal the scenes, as that job was definitely secured by two of the "evil guys". Ben Foster (Angel in X-Men 3) plays a very creepy stranger in the small Alaskan town who comes to ready the arrival of the Vampires. Danny Huston plays the alpha-vampire and is the creepiest vampire I have seen in any movie. He's calm and collected, but you can tell that at any given moment he is just going to rip someone a new orifice. The added effect that all the vampires do not speak english and much of their communication is through gutteral sounds and clicks just proves at how primitive their instincts are.
There is one scene that by itself, would still have warranted the admission fee. As the town defends itself (not very well) against the first attack the camera gives you a birds eye view of the town and pans along the entire main street. The chaos of the entire seen was amazing and there are very few moments in movie history that compare to it. It's the type of scene that gives you goosebumps.
I don't want to give away any more plot than you can find in the trailer, but the ending is great and very appropriate. It lingers on the edge of believability, but hey, its a vampire movie. A little over the top violence isn't unexpected. If you are looking for a good horror flick for Halloween and don't want to watch the downward spriral of the Saw franchise, then I suggest you go check out 30 Days of Night. Be warned though, that this movie is not for those with weak stomaches and I wouldn't suggest taking any children. This movie was bloodier than I expected and I have a pretty hgih tolerance for that sort of thing. If going to the theater isn't your sort of thing, then maybe you can rent the good ol' Halloween standby, The Thing.
Speaking of horrible monsters, I heard that Hanna Montana tickets are going for thousands of dollars on the internet and through scalpers. What the hell? Do people really think about what they are spending their money on? That money could buy me a laptop, a few iPhones, or just a lot of booze. I wouldn't even pay that much if my most favorite band in the world was going on the final tour of their lives. It's just not worth it, especially since Miley Cyrus (the girl that plays Hannah Montana), is very talented and should be touring as herself and not this blond fabrication of Disney. Disney is becoming as bad as MTV. Ruining talented musicians everywhere anytime if becomes involved.
Who would have guessed you would have seen 30 Days of Night and Hanna Montana in the same blog?
