Vampires & Werewolves means Greatest Movie Ever... right'
Hey folks, Harry here... As you all know, I'm a big fan of Werewolves and Vampires... Hell, I even want them to be in films they ain't in. Sort of like Zombies. All films could be improved with Werewolves, Vampires and Zombies mixed with Kung Fu, Wire Fu and psuedo-neo-gothic fashions... Which means Van Helsing is going to rule all, cuz not only does it have Vampires and Werewolves, but Frankenstein, Mr Hyde and that hot as living hell chick from SEXO Y LUCIA!!! Oh, here's the trailer for UNDERWORLD btw...

Oh my god! There's actually going to be a movie with warewolves, and vampires! Huge box office take garanteed, Brother!
-
Oh so true.
-
why does every fat skank I know love vampires. someone should do a study.
-
Sux. But ... with a favorable review of our headgeek it will make some serious money.
-
It portrays vampires in a positive light. Vampires aren't cool. It's not cool to be a vampire. Kids are going to see this and want to be vampires! It should be banned!
-
these horror movies take themselves too seriously...where's the camp factor? anyway Kate Beckinsale in tight black leather outweighs any quibbles I have.....
-
Why the hell would a child go see this movie? If you haven't realised, it's an R-rated fim. Don't think little kids will go see "strong gore and violence".
And, even tho. this sounds weird, you're being prejudice. If you're a vampire, you wouldn't like ot be called evil, would you? Sucking human blood is natural to a vampire. And i personally think humans are worse than vampires, because vampires respect nature alot better on a whole, than humans do (ie. global warming).
And i don't believe in vampires, if you think i do... -
When I grow up I want to be a Vampire.......
Get real, I've been folling this movie for ages, it looks great, almost as good as youg Kate herself ....... grrrrrr ! -
1) I know I say this every time, but I'm sick to death of vampire action super-heroes (or super-villains). Can someone please make a scary vampire movie again? 2) I've posted this before, but for more vampire related pretension, why not go to http://quiz.ravenblack.net/blood.pl?biter=Darth+Friendly 3) What the hell is wrong with the speed of this site, and why won't the Powers that Be address, or even acknowledge the problem? sk

Man, I saw this trailer a month ago and I am geeked as hell about this. It looks great and Kate B never looked better. Plus, Fat boy should love it since it looks like the Matrix and has actual werewolves and vampires in it.

I wanna see Underworld more and more...Vampires and Werewolves .
by iamarayya
Like ALL these matrix imatations, like I like all the bruce lee rip off's that spawned Kung Fu moives. A nice up date to Dracula vs. The Wolfman. Nice to see Harry got the joke... and why do we read reviews from a scoops site?
-
Only fat skanks and nerds visit this site... so what's your point?
-
Was this film shot on carbon-copy paper? (Insert laugh track here...) I mean, honestly, do they have characters in this movie utter, "...there is no cross... there is no cross... there is no cross..."
-
too much romance, not enough human killing.

TIme will reveal The MATRIX trilogy to be what it is...the greatest sci-fi epic of all...the one that yes, built itself on others (like all other great works before it) but one that advanced the genre and gave millions of intelligent movie-lovers hope. So sad that you too cannot enjoy the immense pleasure this series has given me and countless other MATRIX fans, Harry. You really are missing out here friend, and as I said, time will tell. How long before you open your eyes?

That, and oh man, did you hear about the musical version of "Little Red Riding Hood" with Joey N*SYNC as the wolf? I find it ironic that he had played the Werewolf at Universal Studios Florida years ago and now this.... Does this make up for Will Kemp getting screwed out of a werewolf performance? Kinda.....

SAVE A FILM MAKER (SERIOUSLY) A FILM MAKER NEEDS YOUR HELP!
by the tao of joe
Talk backers. SOme of you might remember some of my earlier posts. My name is The Tao of Joe, also known as Joe Scott. I am a film geek living in Raleigh, North Carolina. I am writing in an attempt to appeal to you all, to try and help my friend Damon Packard. I have never met Damon Packard, but at the insistance of Film Threat Magazine, I purchased a copy of Damon's movie "Reflections of Evil" on a home made dvd. The movie is a zany look at our twisted paranoid life we live in, and I did enjoy it to say the least. After buying this dvd, I have found that Damon has hit upon hard times. You see, Damon is about to be kicked out of his house, because he is broke. He speant all of his money trying to make movies and he is trapped. No joke. THe man will be homeless in a matter of days. BUT we can help him. How you might ask? By purchasing his movies online. Damon is selling copies of Reflections of Evil, as well as his hilarious new opus "The Untitled Star Wars Mockumentary" for 10 bones each on vhs. Its a great deal. Of the two films, I would recomend for you guys the star wars one, because it says alot of stuff about star wars that we have all been saying here on this website for a while (I.E. George Lucas died in the 80's). Please people. Buy his movies. Either one, or like I did, both. Buy both of his movies. THey are both good, especially if you invite some friends over and have a few beers. For information on how to buy this movie, go to (http://www.reflectionsofevil.com/pageFM.htm) You wont be sorry that you did. Just think, if you do this, you can show the movie to your friends and say HEY, I HELPED THIS GUY NOT BE HOMELESS! (Harry, Father Geek, Robo Geek, et al, I know this isn't exactly kosher to cross post, but I need to try and get as many people aware of this as possible as it is an emergency. I will risk banishment if necesarry, but I want to try and actually help another human being.)

all nerds like vampires, it's a fact, except they spell it vampy
by miltonwaddams
anyway, in a world where vampires don't know kung fu, a werewolf would fuck up a vampire anyday, no question. put a werewolf in a bear cave, and a vampire in a bear cave, which will get out alive? the vampire will be too busy smoking cloves and drinking blood out of a crystal glass, pussies.
-
its just a bit of fun it looks cool thats all that matters!
-
I mean , look a this movie it looks great and it only costed like 30 million to make , why are they paying Arnold the same amount to make the piece of shit that terminator 3 is ,that is why we are seeing so little good material lately, with the 170 million budget wasted on terminator we probably missed at least 3 good movies and probably two crappy ones. but at least we can choose beside the freaking summer blockbusters . Iwant more options to spend my dads money .
-
It just looks silly. Maybe I'm just tired of highly stylized vampire action movies with no substance.
-
Enough said.

Is there a flamewar in progress I'm missing out on?

YOU GOT ME YOU FUCKER!!! this movie has em and now I cant say shit ..
Damn you
Damn you and your Damn matrix reloaded review!!! -
I have not seen Underworld yet but i know i have seen it about 10 times this summer alone. Boy was 28 Days later refreshing
-
We all know that TM:R would have been AFI's #1 if it had werewolves and vampires, but we also overlook the fact that T3 and BB2 were better 'cuz their chase scenes had more cars/firetrucks/boats/streets/houses/corpses destroyed.
-
and restricted color schemes, but the fast forward then slowed down effect is played. It's over-used and a poor substitute for content. It also panders to the short attention span crowd who apparently now outnumber normal people. And Kate Beckinsale has a really great ass.
-
Was that meathead enough?This does look cool.But it would really benefit from Aliens and Predators in the mix.As we've learned this week,every film should have an appearance from ultra-violet E.T.'s.

Harry please for tehlove of gawd get over the matrix reloaded
by quartermain5
I mean jesus come on how many more movie reviews or trailers are you gonna talk about and somehow insert matrix reloaded bashing in them. look bad boys 2 has absolutely nothing to compare to matrix reloaded and neither dose terminator3 or league of extrodinary gentleman or the hulk or x-men 2 there all there own gawddamn movies a professional would review or talk about each movie INDIVIDUALY!!! and not base it on anything except its own merit and for crying out loud with you continuosly bashing the matrix reloaded it just gose to show how much this movie and its fans have gotten to you because ive been a loyal aicn follower for years and ive never seen you get an ass whupin backlash for a negative review like this before. i was just hoopin in this article you were gonna talk about fucking "underworld" but i guess youre dumbass still wants to get flamed on.
P.S. oh yeah the matrix has werewolves and vampires in its story you just have to play enter the matrix which kinds sucked but thats another story. -
First and foremost, let me point out that vampires are outdated and overused in hollywood, especially Bram Stokers slightly fictional count. Second of all, you people actually insulting others by calling them "nerds" is completely idiotic, since half of you here are admitted geeks anyways. Third, let me say that Underworld looks fucking cool, Van Helsing will kick major ass(though I hate Frankensteins look, God what the fuck happened to the massive long haired stitch filled genius that Mary Shelly created long ago?) Anybody whose bothered to read the original tale, let alone understand its early form of story telling, knows what I'm talking about. Boris Karloff's flat head was a jolly green guy with down syndrome. The original big dude from Mary Shelly's world became brilliant and practically defeated his creator at a battle of wits and mindgames, killing off his buddies in an effort to get his creators attention, before finally snapping the final straw and taking out Mrs. Frankenstein/Elizabeth, sending his creator mad with rage and vengence. I can't see it any other way. Karloff was fine, but even that film was nothing comapred to the original masterpiece. That cable film made not long ago does little to display what I'm saying since it drifted off from the original plot like the Karloff film.

Looks pretty good but the real question is: how will this movie rank next to SUBSPECIES 4: BLOODSTORM????

by rcamacho2278
the point was that harry gave a filthy dirty horrible review of the matrix reloaded. Inserting that it would have been COOL if there were Werewolves and Vampires. It pretty much confused everyone what the FUCK was this critic thinking or what drug was he on,
anyway, Ongoing joke about how everyone movie needed werewolves and vampires to meet harrys standards.
Thus We got underworld. Now we can ALL be happy. WHOOHOOO
except the bastards who didnt like that batman dead end short., they can burn in hell -

I want, nay DAMAND to see Kate Beckinsdal in tight black leather.

Screen Gems spent $30 million on GHOSTS OF MARS and it looked like the sets were made with egg cartons.
-
You know, that thing where at the end, they say the name of the movie:
"Underworld" Cool move or pose *Whoosh* *donggggg*
They all do that! -
Look, if they're going to desaturate the living shit out of the movie, they might as well just MAKE A BLACK AND WHITE MOVIE and be done with it. And hell, that might even help it achieve a moody atmosphere that's worth something instead of washed out indigo version of the Matrix! Right now...well, it looks like a fun Gothic Fantasy romp, which is probably all it's aiming to be. I just wish they'd looked for a leading man who doesn't look so much like Patrick Dempsey. Was Jared Leto too busy doing nothing? Scott Speedman wouldn't have been my first choice. They must have wanted him to look average, not like a part of the vamp/wolf world, but frankly, since he apparently joins it by the end, they should have gotten someone who could pull of the transformation. ************** RE the ongoing Vampires and Werewolves joke and everyone not getting it--of course we know why you idiots won't let it go, we're JUST SICK AND BLOODY WELL FUCKING TIRED OF HEARING ABOUT IT!!!!! CHANGE THE FUCKING RECORD!!!
-
almost every aspect from this trailer looked like a film that has already been done before, the kung fu fight scene is a tired fuckin idea, cant people scrap like amateurs anymore, who wants to see another matrix style fight scene, its fuckin played out, its been done to death, give it up, turn it in, do something original.
-
the girl
-
Put Keira Knightley in EVERY film. "Sexiest Tomboy Beanpole" my ass...she don't NEED no sub-category to be sexy, fool! May that banner ad live FOREVER! Hell, bring back the one where she's out clubbin' or some shit and lookin' HOT! On second thought, maybe she shouldn't get ANY movie roles for awhile, then have to resort to doing nothing but nekkid work like poor Angie Everhart is doing. It went from, "Boy, I'd like to see Angie nekkid" to "Oh, wow, another nude scene from her? How about that." C'mon, Angie, even Alyssa Milano knew when to put the clothes back on and get the career going (but bless Alyssa's bosoms, bless them be).
-
How many others like their would like it if their movie vampires:
1) Didn't use Matrix-style kung-fu. 2) Didn't resemble Euro-trash models. 3) Didn't belong to another underground secret-society cabal? And would prefer that they be just inhuman and scary like the good-old days. Heck, I loved the first "Blade" and thought "Buffy" had some cool concepts, but this is all getting old. Last great vampire film was "Near Dark" back in the 80s. -
I have to agree with much of the groans here concerning: Cable-Fu fights (I thought it was a Kung Fu parody when I saw Crouching Tiger. But at least they didn't CGI the whole damn thing)---Scenester costuming(I wish JUST ONCE, we would see a character get dressed and get fed up with the high miantenence of being so kempt and cool---and the "evil leer" (I swear, if one of these over-literate pencil necks ever looked through his brow at me I'd Head butt his dome into next year). Whatever happened to the dirt? Mad Max had it right. Those characters looked like they had to piece stuff together that they found lying around on corpses, and didn't give a damn about personal hygiene. Today's villians look like they spend three hours a day at the spa! Gothic is great, but its got to look a little crusty and eclectic. Name of the Rose, Blade Runner, etc.
All said, Kate Beckinsale looks as good as it gets. I just hope the Speedman dude gets eviscerated... -
They are indeed Kates pink bits. Nearly had a heart attack till I remebered this. She does a streak on the pier in daylight as well, and if they got a double for that she was wearing a very convincing mask.
-
I'm sorry but it looks like a cheaply made knockoff of Blade, The Crow, and Dark City. Why is Kate sulking on top of a building like we've seen in trailers for Blade 2, and Daredevil. And does anyone else notice the obvious wire work when she lands on the sidewalk after jumping off the building? You can see her back move up as if it pulled her. This looks like Birds of Prey:The Movie.
-
I'm with KongMonkey except for one skepticism. Any movie that calls Frankenstein's Monster Frankenstein gets my wary eye. The name of the creator is NOT the name of the monster.
-
...it still looks cool. The F/X are cool, there is a good cast, well filmed, and an interesting story. I got the wicked giggles watching it, which is a good sign for me to see it. Yes, blatant rips of "The Crow", "Blade" and "The Matrix", but so what? It's been done before. Maybe this time they can do it well this time.

Yes..more werewolves, vampires, wire-fu...these are all new and exciting concepts and will save Hollywood....

"...the world you know is a candy-coated topping..."

This looks they took the basic plot of Romeo & Juliet and window dressed it with the creatures and style of Blade with the fighting and effects of of The Matrix/Equilibrium (which took their fighting and effects from twenty years of Hong Kong cinema).
Yet this still looks fun. However, Kate's love interest bears too close a resemblance to Scott Stapp of Creed fame.
Also, to anyone who still has doubts or misconceptions: Equilibrium owns The Matrix Reloaded. Don't even try to argue because let's face it...Keanu Reeves doesn't deserve to be in the same room as Christian Bale. -
No beef. I just want to give you credit, that's a funny ass name.

You've actually compared the breast size and shape? Sounds like you've done a fair bit of research here so I'll bow to your knowledge
-
I think what sucks is, I know this movie will suck at yet I shall still plink down my cash at the theater because of my chicks with guns obsession.
-
Quite frankly, the trailer looks cooler than anything I've seen in a while. Most times, I see little to raise an eyebrow about, much less focus my attention on. I dunno. Maybe it'll suck... but I'm still placing hopes on it, that it'll be better than one would expect, do some respectable business, and/or maybe someday be remembered for it's quality. Ah, well. Hope springs eternal. I too am getting a little tired of the repetitive Matrixy action and visuals. Make no mistake, I believe that movie was groundbreaking and just plain fun, but I agree creative folks need to move on and fuckin' bring the next level of originality. I've been wondering: When did becoming a vampire make you a lethal martial artist? I know vamps've got the speed an' agility an' whatnot, but whatup? Ya get an' introductory Tei-bo class when yer initiated inta the ranks of th' undead? Enough Kung Fu bloodsuckers! Seriously though, I'm a horror fanatic and this poor bastard genre needs all the help it can get. I think any movie that offers us vampires AND werewolves (yyyeeeeeeaaaahhh!!!), needs our support. Anybody else remember the days when a movie kinda mosied along all unassumin'-like, nobody had any big expectations for it, AND IT JUST FUCKIN' GRABBED YOU BY THE THROAT, y'know, an' gotcher attenchun, burned itself into your memory? I miss those days. Now, alls you ever seem ta hear is some nancys bawlin' like spoiled brats at a birthday party, because they seem to be of the belief that they know everthing in th' fuckin' world, and I'm reallly not quite sure what it takes to impress these Poindexters, but they set in like skeeters on yer dick whenever they thinks they gotta save the world from medocrity and bitch like hens about movies, making grand conclusions, and quite often soundin' like pure jackasses. Who the fuck told these schmendricks they were all-knowing film experts, an' made the poor little drips believe they were- HAHA!- cool?! Sweet sassy molassee! Don't worry lads, these "nerds" can NEVA compete with you, an' the Devil's Own Drops o' Love'll take care of them scaaary fat skanks, SHO NUFF!!

May your country be ruled by NEO-CONs. CURSED!!!!!! (Curses provided through the courtesy of BROTHER VOODOO, INC, LLC.) ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD!!!
-
This is a complete copy of werewolf the apocolypes (rpg). It could be a good movie but why dont they call it what it is. The werewolf and the vampire rpg books are about (if u dont already know) vampires (kindred) and werewolfs (garou) fighting a war which lasted ages ( plus werewolfs fight the wyrm). In the trailer it mentions vampire familys and in the rpg there are clans. I have been waiting years for someing for a movie of tv show since the short lived Kindred the embrace (tv) from white wolf games and now it probily never happen because of this rip off.
-
I dunno, kate looks hot, this looks cool and I hope she get's naked (hello, the hunger), and not to mention cool tunes for once like Bowie (hello, the hunger). I guess Cat People is technically a warewolf film, but Nastassja Kinski got naked in that and it had a cool Bowie tune. I like the modern noir look, its hot. And at least its not a hip-hop soundtrack, looks like there's cool shit from Maynard, A Perfect Circle and and Skinny Puppy (who by rights should have song in every vampire film).
-
Yeah, this is totally a White wolf rip off. Hence White wolf is suing the shit out of Screen gems.
Don't get me wrong, I love White wolf, but C'mon, this movie should just come out and maybe have like a little nod to them in the credits or something.
