Fate, I'm never going to hate you for any reason. Just tell me what's in it that draws your appeal, please. I can't even Mistie the thing. It does that on its own.

Keith like your brother, i think that sometimes, there is something in every movie 2 like. i also like The Fifth element. actually have both of the DVD's. but that's just me. even District 9 had somethings that i liked, but i will not buy the DVD because of a lot of the covert and overt racism in the movie. but Tracey, i am waiting on the premier of Demons. Fate. p.s. can someone please tell me why 'ghost hunters' is still on syfy? it is HORRIBLE! --- On Sun, 12/27/09, Keith Johnson <keithbjohn...@comcast.net> wrote: From: Keith Johnson <keithbjohn...@comcast.net> Subject: Re: [scifinoir2] BBC America brings back Van Helsing in Demons To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com Date: Sunday, December 27, 2009, 10:10 PM Ha-ha, you are right on! My bro' loved the lady vamps, the vamp babies, and even that idiotic Dracula. When he walked up the wall while musing, I groanded--my brother laughed. As for "the Fifth Element", it has a type of cult status, but I'm not among the faithful. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Martin Baxter" <truthseeker013@ hotmail.com> To: "SciFiNoir2" <scifino...@yahoogro ups.com> Sent: Sunday, December 27, 2009 3:38:28 PM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: RE: [scifinoir2] BBC America brings back Van Helsing in Demons Keith... maybe your brother somehow managed to see a completely different and possibly decent "Van Helsing"? It's the only thing I can figure. The movie, for me as well, is a pain to watch. As for "The Fifth Element", I admit that I liked it the first time I saw it. The second time, I wondered what drug interaction had hit me at the time. I think about a wolf gnawing its own appendage off to escape a trap, and think that's preferable to further viewing.

I despise the movie. I was critiquing it the whole time phyllis and I watched it in the theatre: the anachronistic rock soundtrack, the bad dialogue, Kate Beckinsdales (who I think is hot as hell) with that horrible on-again-off- again accent, the bad CGI, the stupid characters, the horrible camera work. It's the movie that to me showcases the rather empty talent the director is, as he'd put out barely passable fare with the Mummy movies Funny thing is, my older brother--a big scifi fan himself--loves Van Helsing. He is always trying to convince me that I'm too hard on it, and make me change my opinion. He thinks I'm a bit of a hard ass in the way I review and critique movies, saying I miss the fact that every movie has things in it to like. We have different tastes. He tends to like things that are a bit more fluff, fun, and visually striking. While I like those things, i tend to focus more on good acting and realistic plots. For example, he doesn't like the darker themes in the comic and animation worlds, while I love them. At any rate, he's on me all the time about "Van Helsing", even getting irritated when I repeat for the eleventy millionth time that I hate it. And don't get me started on his feelings about my indifference towards "The Fifth Element"! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tracey de Morsella" <tdli...@multicultur aladvantage. com> To: scifino...@yahoogro ups.com Sent: Saturday, December 26, 2009 4:41:10 PM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: [scifinoir2] BBC America brings back Van Helsing in Demons Though I still haven't forgiven the great Dr. Abraham Van Helsing for allowing that awful movie with Hugh Jackman to be made about him -- or for not showing up and killing the entire cast of the Twilight -- I'm excited to catch his descendants on the new British import, Demons. A new horror series from the writers of past British hits Hex and Merlin, Demons features Philip Glenister (Life on Mars, Ashes to Ashes) as cold, stern American Rupert Galvin. The yank must recruit the last descendant of Van Helsing to join forces with him commit to life battling monsters -- before those monsters kill him. Demons unveils a world just out of humans' sight -- full of vampires and other inhumans. (Insert joke about politicians here.) Luke Rutherford (Christian Cooke) is the "everykid" teenager forced to come to terms with the harsh reality that he's the direct descendant of the vampire-hunting Van Helsing. To train Luke, Galvin calls on the beautiful, haunted Mina Harker (Zoe Tapper), a blind concert pianist and authority on the beasts preying on humanity. The creepy Father Simeon (Richard Wilson) is Luke's other teacher on the lore behind his enemies. Looking at the pilot, I do wish the hero was a little older as I don't want to see "Jim Henson's Van Helsing Babies." But, I'll give it a shot. Demons premieres Saturday, January 2, 10:00 p.m. on BBC America. http://www.tvsquad. com/2009/ 12/20/bbc- america-brings- back-van- helsing-in- demons/ Hotmail: Free, trusted and rich email service.
