Only in Kansas

Several inches of snow on the ground yesterday morning...nearly 70 degrees today. Only in Kansas...don't like the weather? Wait 5 minutes and it will change.

Movie Thoughts: Sunshine Cleaning

This movie was listed under comedies on the Netflix, but it was more drama than comedy. That being said, it was an enjoyable watch.

Amy Adams and Emily Blunt portray sisters who start a bio-waste & crime scene cleaning service as a way for Adam's character to send her child to a private school (after having been expelled from his regular school).

One of my long time favorite favorite actors, Alan Arkin, plays the role of the women's kooky off-beat father.

All in all, it was a fun movie to watch, with a couple of laugh out loud moments.

Movie Thoughts: Daybreakers

I have to admit to a certain affection for supernatural thrillers. Vampires, werewolves, demons and the like. I like them. Not to the extent that I like time travel movies - where I pretty much have to see them, even if I know they are gonna suck sour eggs.

I will say that lately I've been avoiding vampire movies - pretty much since the Twighlight movies started up. Those simply can't hold my interest. As someone said - the Twighlight movies turned vampires into sparkly faggots. A sentiment with which I agree.

Daybreakers, however, returns the vampire monster to it's rightful place a something to be feared; but with a Wall Street corruption kind of twist.

Set in a world where vampires have become the norm, and humans have become an endangered species, a small group of humans search for a way to survive, even as the supply of human blood dwindles to nothing.

Daybreakers isn't really a horror film so much as it is a well plotted and well acted thriller. Ethan Hawke, Sam Niell and Will Dafoe star.
