Brittany and I just watched this one for the very first time. We both enjoyed it quite a bit. Another of Tim Burton films... which we both have grown to enjoy. But I must ask... what is it with Tim Burton's characters all looking like they belong in The Addams Family? Not a bad thing mind you... just what his characters reminds me of. The old Addams Family universe. This is a fun film... definitely one I would recommend checking out. It is just one that I find a little difficult to talk about. A strange but good film.

Plot:
Boog (Martin Lawrence), a domesticated grizly bear with no survival skills, has his perfect world turned upside down when he meets Elliot (Ashton Kutcher), a scrawny, fast-talking mule deer. They join forces to unite the woodland creatures and take the forest into nature's control! It's a film for the whole family that Shawn Edwards (Fox-TV) calls, "a fun story loaded with lovable characters!"

Not really a bad film... but not a great one either. I don't see myself watching this one too often. But sure I will watch it again at some point. There is a few good scenes... but for the most part found it a little too silly. As well as a gross joke or two thrown in. I did like when Boog and Elliott broke into the store and ate all that candy. Probably the best scene in the movie. I thought the cast did well though. Worth seeing... but don't have high hopes for this one.

For centuries vampires have co-existed with humans.
Until now.

Now mankind has the ability to destroy itself, and the vampires need to take control of their threatened food source.

CIB, an elite government force has been formed to combat the threat. But when eternal life is offered, no-one is beyond temptation...

West (Sue), Blondell Taylor (Nurse), Daniel Moynihan (Street Artist), Colin Kerrigan (Computer Operator), Ian Crowe (Pathologist)

As I have just finished watching the third season of "The Vampire Diaries", I thought I would continue with another vampire series. This is a recent blind buy. I was rather bored with the first episode. Though it did show some promise.
