Nightwatch with Konstantin Khabensky and Mariya Poroshina. A Russian equivilant of Constantine or Underworld. I'm beginning to see why American movies are so popular around the world. This movie was definitely trying to be like Hollywood but it comes off as a grotesque imitation or perhaps a parody. The special effects were good but overdone and the camera angles really started to bother me after the first half hour. The plot was rather straightforward though they really throw in some weird convoluded info that just muddles it all up. You have to just remember the first thing they tell you and ignore everything else that will inevitably contradict it. It seemed like they had two seperate plots that had nothing to do with one another but were individually too weak to make a movie on their own. The one refreshing thing about this movie is, sorry for the spoiler, the bad guys win.
Words of the Day: eperopolis- a city covering a continent
Ecumenopolis- a city covering an entire planet (i.e. Coruscant from Star Wars)
