This is another one I borrowed from the library. The actor playing Dylan Dog is Brandon Routh who I know as the latest to play the live action Superman. But his buddy also looked very familiar to me. When I checked it turned out that it was the guy that plays the werewolf in the US version of Being Human.

This film is listed as horror and comedy. While I do see this... it is more of a lightheartedness then a laugh out loud type of comedy. The movie itself is pretty good. I can see adding it to my collection eventually. Though I don't think I will be in much of a hurry to do so.

Bourne was supposed to be the fall guy for a murder and cover-up in Berlin. Now they've made him angry and he wants revenge.

The One Where It All Began: The Pilot Marathon, a review by DJ Doena

What's the show about?
Based upon the "Sookie Stackhouse" book series by Charlaine Harris. Sookie is a waitress in Bon Temps, Louisiana and she can read minds. She's fallen in love with a Vampire who has been around since the Civil War. The Vampires have come out of the coffin since the Japanese have invented artificial blood and Vampires need no longer feed off of Humans. The new stuff is called Tru:Blood.

"Strange Love"
Sookie Stackhouse is totally excited when her first Vampire walks into the bar where she works. And the best part of it: She can't read his mind. The thoughts of all the people around her are constantly raining upon her but he is totally quiet. But she's not the only one who has identified him as Vampire. So have the Rattrays and they pin him down and try to drain him dry for his "V" - Vampire blood, an aphrodisiac for Humans.

My Opinion
A bit lengthy at times but otherwise very interesting and sometimes disturbing. The show is very open about a lot of topics and also very (very, very!) visual. And except for having Vampires living openly amongst Humans the show also shows other mystical abilities like Sookie's mind-reading and someone else's shape-shifting. The interesting part about this show is the fact that Vampires aren't a secret and how both sides try to deal with that fact (Vampire rights, racism, ...).
