Underworld
Just watched Underworld (last night) and Underworld: Evolution (tonight). $20 for both of them at JB Hifi at the moment if anyone is interested.
I still disagree with my friend about the plot being wonderful. I honestly think it's pretty same-old. But whoa the costumes, the gothic look and feel. Now that I like. Very sexy!
Plus the DVD has extras, behind the scenes etc. I'm amazed that the Lycans (werewolves) aren't all CGI. They are these cool animatronic puppets which a person wears and the actors run around on stilts inside them. They take four puppeteers to make all the snarly-growly facial expressions. Very clever! The person inside the suit has to do it all while seeing the world only on a screen inside the suit, so they are doing all their stunts without depth perception.
All in all, not as bad as I thought it was when I saw it at the movies, but I'm still not getting my friend's obsession with this movie. Points for the tight fitting leather, which is very nice and they do take off the leads shirt very often. I can just be happy with the shallow side of things with this one. :)
