V/H/S 8/10 - Overall a great, fun horror movie that harkens back to the anthology style of story telling of the 80s movies like Creepshow and Twilight Zone. I'm generally not a fan of the modern horror movies because most are just gratuitous gore going for shock value, but I was thoroughly entertained with this one. I gave the movie 8 because of weak acting by some of the actors, and I really hate found footage style of movies, but this one kept me enthralled.
I'm glad to see that quality horror movies are still coming out. This year we got Cabin in the Woods and now VHS. If you guys are going to have any sort of Halloween watch party, make sure VHS is on the top of the list.
No, they arent. Not like this. Not even close. I've watched tons of sitcoms from I Love Lucy through My Name is Earl. This is by far the worst I've ever seen. All they do in any episode is keep going over the same fights, AND resolving them. How many fucking times can you resolve the exact same issue?
The first season actually had some variety, I have no idea why they changed.
Anyone see Looper yet? Curious if the hype is real.

I dont feel like analyzing a percentage.
I think Johnny Depp and Christian Bale were picked out of popularity, not because they were best for the roles or the movie. On Blu-ray it has a very annoying cheap documentary effect that makes it unpleasant to watch, especially cuz the shots alternated back and forth between film mode and soap opera mode. Thats just stupid. Pick a style and stick with it.
Story was good in principle, but not told well. Regardless, I think many people will watch and enjoy it, so dont just take my word.
I was not really a fan either, though I do plan on giving it another chance at some point. The super clean, digital feel to the film was definitely jarring, since it was supposed to be a period piece, but my biggest problems were with the story itself. It was pretty uninteresting and neither the acting nor the action was good enough to make up for it.

It's a little hard for me to regard any vampire movie as credible. I can't remember getting into one, actually, including Bram Stoker's Dracula, BTW, which I am intending to sell (DVD)!Daybreakers 4/10: Interesting premise and twist on the Vampire theme. However, about halfway in the story begins to weaken substantially with a sense of it being rushed, but also it begins to break the credulity barrier.
