Vamping it up

[slowfox]

So, P and W and I went to see Cirque de Freak: The Vampire's Assistant yesterday - fairly bland fare, to be honest; there are better vampire flicks about, and I think I'll have to dig out The Lost Boys for P soon so that he gets to appreciate the genre a little better.

I've also been lent Glass Houses, Book I of the Morganville Vampires by Rachel Caine, which was recommended to me by a colleague - the same colleague, as it happens, who pushed Twiglet on me.

Y'all know about my Sookie thing, and there's always Buffy ticking along in the background. I really ought to re-read Dracula (good, good book), but I'm starting to see Teh Neil's grumble about vampires appearing to be a food group, rather than a spice...

J and A have been reading that book series and are desperate to see the film. I shall have to tell them that it isn't very good.

P & W liked it, and they're both also reading the books, but they weren't wholly raving afterwards. Not to say that it's terrible, and there are some moments. But overall... not that great, I have to say.
