Underworld

Posted on September 21, 2003 by under Movies.    

Underworld was ten times better than I ever imagined it would be.  The movie thoroughly exceeded my expectations but I totally dug it.  Brian has always been the one fixated on vampire films.  We both thought the movie would be great because, simply put, it was like Blade but with Matrix flair.  We were wrong.  It was so much more than that.  I enjoyed it immensely and I didn’t get bogged down with the usual loopholes that I find in most films.  There were none.  They did a great job with the story line.  It was a Romeo and Juliet story that touched on the racial stuggles that may not be as prevalent today but still exist in certain cultures.  The message I came away with was, by uniting together we can be better, stronger people.  Don’t get me wrong, it wasn’t a preachy movie.  Neither did it try to force the moral down your throat.  Brian didn’t even notice the profundity of the movie until it was brought to his attention.  It’s action from beginning to end.  The effects were great.  On the surface, it is an awesome film.  Digging deeper only makes it better.  I have nothing bad to say about this movie.  If we were able to pre-order our DVD copy now, I would.  Yes, it’s that good.

If Underworld isn’t enough to get your lazy ass out of your easy chair, then how about bonus time at Clinique?  They’re offering a fabulous free gift offer just for making a purchase of $19.50 or more.  That’s one of the best deals I’ve seen of late.  So go to your nearest Clinique counter before supplies are depleted!

While you’re out, stop by On the Border and pick up a Kahlua ice cream pie and some of their yummy empanadas.  That’s what we had for dinner tonight.  Carry out — it’s a good thing!
