Underworld Evolution was just a mess. Not to put too fine a point on it, but she's a VAMPIRE, they don't HAVE sex. Nor do they have a reason to breathe, so all those cool effects of her exhaling in the cold after a fight...pointless. Nor should a vampire have a need for an automatic firearm, especially when she sees it does very little against her opponents. Oh the film was just horrid, form beginning to end. I actually laughed in places...and the film is NOT a comedy. Do NOT waste your time even bothering with this one. (Oh, well Scott Speedman running around without a shirt, and wet, and hair hanging into his eyes, well, yes, THAT was enjoyable, but really not at all worth the time.)
Thumbsucker was a book I had read a few years back. And the cast was certainly impressive: Tilda Swinson, Vincent D'onofrio, Vince Vaughn, Benjamin Bratt, Keanu Reeves. And the kid playing Justin, Lou Pucci is just aDORable, with a great hairthing going (see Below).
But really, the movie as a whole never clicked for me. It just....was strange. And not in a Napoleon-Dynamite, Welcome-To-The-Dollhouse strange. It didn't work for me. I would not recommend it either.
Maybe the next batch of films I see will be a bit more interesting.

There were many beautiful boys, their chins still hairless, their dark eyes wanton and lustful, savory as apricots plucked in the dew. This, his palace, was a palace of pleasure. - Sandman #50
