Last night after work, I hooked up with Rik, Wing and Marbles to go see a special advance preview of 30 Days of Night. A Free advance preview I might add

We really enjoyed it. Well, Rik, Marbles and I seemed to be giddy at the end of the movie, but poor Wing looked traumatised!! I think she enjoyed most of it though just the same.

I’m not going to write a review or anything and I’m not telling people that this is a movie they should go and watch, because I’m the kind of guy who pretty much enjoys a range of movies that others find both good and bad. I just like what I like.

After reading the graphic novel way back when it was first released, I sat there thinking “This would make a great movie”. So of course, I was really looking forward to this since I’d heard it was being made and I was not disappointed. The movie isn’t perfect, it is flawed, there are cheesey lines in it, and so on and so on, but it wasn’t enough to ruin my enjoyment of it.

It’s not your Ann Rice kind of Vampire tale, it’s a massacre! In fact, Wing hit it dead on the head when she kept comparing the Vampires to Zombies. It’s pretty much that. Except these ‘zombies’ have the ability to think, plot and plan.

Oh, it’s quite gory too
