That does look fairly amusing, like a True Lies done right.
Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

re the Cars trailer. All I can say is it had better show lots of cars going round and round or I'll have one mightily pissed off autistic nephew on my hands.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
From a review of Blade: Trinity by the New York Daily News [link]
From what we can tell from the "Blade" series, vampires are as easy to kill as ducks and there's no limit on them.
These fragile creatures die at the drop of a silver bullet or the flash of an ultraviolet light, and their deaths are downright festive. They light up like golden x-rays, then explode in a hail of sparks.
Why this movie wasn't given a July 4 opening is both a mystery and a missed opportunity.
Hee.

Has anyone seen Stephen Sonderbergh's Kafka ? One of the Greek newspapers includes DVDs of movies and TV shows, and I just discovered they play in my computer despite region issues. The only one that looks appealing, sadly, is this one (well, other than The Mirror Crack'd, but I've seen that.)

That has Kyle MacLachlin right? I think I saw it when it came out in theatres. I recall thinking it was okay, but not thinking it anything too special. But I don't quite remember any details.

Don't think so. I just checked IMdb and the cast list is Jeremy Irons, Theresa Russell, Joel Grey, Ian Holm and Alec Guinness. There's only one user review that says "Lots of homage and reference to Nosferatu and Dracula. " but doesn't say much else. Indeed, one of the characters is named Dr. Murnau, but the plot isn't vampirey - it's about an insurance agent and some anarchists.

Okay. I saw that one too. The Kyle MacLachlin one was a version of the Trial, I think.
I think it was good, but it was a long time ago.

I have to admit, I was thinking it might be about a guy who wakes up to find he's a cockroach. Still, it should play well enough on my monitor and I am movie starved!
You know what else I just realized? I own almost no science-fiction movies. Other than Blade Runner, Dark City, The Matrix and the first two Alien movies, I've got nothing. I guess I could break my rules about genre and put the Star Wars movies in science fiction. Huh.

Has anyone seen Stephen Sonderbergh's Kafka ?
Years ago - it wasn't particularly Kafka-esque. Beautiful black and white photography, some creepy moments, but it feels like the pastiche of old movies it is, rather than any kind of examination of Kafka or Kafka themes.
