First, making this prequel, despite being a good movie (not as good as first and not even close to the 2nd though), wasn't really needed. And loosing both Kate Beckinsale and Scott Speedman wasn't the best move. They could've at least adapted the Selene parts from the book "Underworld: Blood Enemy," which practically half the movie is taken from. And I'm sorry, without the guns it's not as good either. I'm hoping they'll learn from this mistake that they should've either waited to do this one when Kate and Scott were sick of this franchise. Bringing them back and making a sequel to Evolution would be a wise move, because giving up on this medium budgeted franchise wouldn't be wise. And plus this one will make it's money back by the time the box office numbers are done (It's only been a week!) and with DVD sales they'll make a good profit. If that wouldn't happen, then they wouldn't be making a sequel to Jumper. I don't know; I still see Underworld IV happening in more ways than one.

Any way, VERY good movie, I really wanted the bad guys to get what's comminf to them and Mr Neeson delivers it fast and without mercy, high body count that never seems unrealistic, very Bourne type fighting and action, tight filming. I love it when movies deliver more than you were expecting. His threat to the kidnappers at the start is classic and sets the whole tone of the flick.

Everything else can wait for Netflix. Coraline's not going to take the weekend, but I think I'd weep for joy if it did.

But Coraline looks a little odd to gain much traction in the marketplace. I actually really liked Stardust too. But Coraline looks a little odd to gain much traction in the marketplace.

Stardust was a great movie but sadly it had poor marketing and people weren't interested. Hopefully the same thing doesn't happen with Coraline.
