Watched Catch Me If You Can and Underworld last night. The former was delightful, the latter, not. So i'm not one of those Leo haters - I never thought he was so cute but I thought he was a good actor forever. And he just kind of sucks you in to his world. Movie was kind of reminiscent of Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, except without the fancy camerawork. That's fine. I wasn't all that keen on the fifty-million flashback structure, either... it worked for Adaptation but that's because all the time changes involved different characters. But yeah I enjoyed it thoroughly, not the least because Tom Hanks was actually playing a funny character. I forgot how funny that kid can be.

I was thoroughly disappointed in Underworld though. I mean, sure it had a thin plot and no character development, but neither did Vampire Hunter D right? I can put up with that shit if the vampires are cool enough. And sadly, these vampires were not cool in the least. I mean they didn't kill people. At all. And therefore needed no charm, and therefore let it slide away. At first I thought the not killing people thing was new, but they mentioned towards the end that the coven mainly ate livestock and such back in the day. And so they've pretty much been not killing people for a couple centuries at the least. Clearly enough time to degrade into uncharming uncool assclowns.
