It actually looks kind of interesting.

Looks better than Buffy.
By the way I thought Newt was a vampire? He sure has sucked lot of people dry.

If not Abe killing vampyres, maybe John Carter saving Mars:

John Carter

Based on the Barsoom novels of Edgar Rice Burroughs. Haven't read the novels myself, but I do remember my brother being a huge fan.

but once we realized there are no Martians, unless microbial well hidden, those Burroughs novels fell apart.
But what was up with The Twin Peaks like Martian Chronicles, eh?

I agree. Sometimes you just need to read the book for fun. Forget the science.

Good men, good women?

Anyway much more educated necromancy according with modern recordings of older attitudes that could easily be explained...

I really enjoyed the movie, but you do have to totally suspend disbelief...and the hero is quite the eye candy.

I just finished the book and thought it a little disappointing, especially the ending, as you knew exactly where the author was taking you. The tie in with Edgar Allen Poe was cool and yet the idea that Lincoln lost all of his loved ones because of vampires was way too depressing. Also as a southern it was really kind of nasty to imply that our way of live was derived from ancient European vampires who only wanted a steady food supply and that if you live below the Mason Dixon you were obviously too stupid to realize that you had somehow been tricked into becoming a racist. Anyway, if the movie is more violent then the book; I doubt that I will bother seeing it, as I’m just not into watching heads roll…
