On Russia and vampires

Gasp! Two posts in a single week?? What is the world coming to?

I'm completely addicted to streaming movies on Netflix. Tonight I watched Nightwatch and remembered why it was so awesome in the first place: dissolving subtitles. Seriously, it sounds silly, but you have to see it to know how kick-ass it is. Usually the subtitles are just kind of there, but in this movie they're kind of integrated. They disappear behind bodies in the foreground and turn red and dissolve like blood into water. They're actually expressive. Not to mention that the effects are pretty great, especially considering the movie was made for something like $15 million.

Ok, that's all I got. My mind is too blown by the good vs evil crazy seasick battle cinematography, and also by the dude who pulls his spine out and it turns into a sword. Seriously. Wow.
