3:46 AM - Fright Night: Colin Farrell Is A Vampire

Those boys and girls who are vampire fans that love "Twilight" series, you guys have another vampire movie to watch, which is "Fright Night", because a heavy weight who called the "Vampire Crazy" writer decided to pick up the pen again to write a script about vampires, and this man named Martino Eriksson, applause……Let's see his outstanding works in the past time. From 1997 to 2002, he wrote the script of TV series "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," and now, after ten years later, he re-penned the script of a vampire movie. Vampires' image has a long history, but it has been changed beyond recognition in the "Twilight" series, so you guys want to know how Martino will portray the vampire in this remake version "Fright Night"? Let's take a look.

Senior Charlie Brewster (Anton Yelchin, god, I like his cute frizzle) finally has it all - hanging out with the popular crowd and dating the hottest girl in high school. In fact, he's so cool he's even dissing his best friend Ed (Christopher Mintz-Plasse). But trouble arrives when an intriguing stranger Jerry (Colin Farrell), moves in next door. He seems like a great guy at first, but there's something not quite right-and everyone, including Charlie's mom (Toni Collette) doesn't notice. After witnessing some very unusual activity, Charlie comes to an unmistakable conclusion: Jerry is a vampire preying on his neighborhood. Unable to convince anyone that he's telling the truth, Charlie has to find a way to get rid of the monster himself in this revamp of the comedy-horror classic. Maybe it's too babyish for those real movies fans, but when you are on the bus or closestool, it's kind of time killer anyway, download a ipad video converter, figure out how to copy dvd to ipad, then enjoy the "exciting fighting" between human and vampires that you have never seen in "Twilight".

Be honest, I was very impressed by this movie. Much as I loved the 1985 original, in this new version, I felt that its effects were lacking and its clever ideas weren't executed as well as they could have been. Both those problems have been remedied here, and all the strengths of the original are also preserved. Everyone is terrific, Ferrell and Tennant standing out especially. Colin Ferrell is mesmerizing as the sexy, menacing and supremely confident vampire, which is very refreshing. And this movie is a jab against the new wave to harmless-and-charming-vampire movies, he viciously rips someone apart and then tries to turn the charm back on, fabulous. Also, David Tennant is a much more interesting character than the original Peter Vincent, he is a showman and borderline-charlatan who surprises everyone, including himself with his expertise in the paranormal. Oh, right, and the hero, why the director arranged so little interaction about the relationship between Charley and his erstwhile best friends Eddie, I mean, they were best friends, you know what I mean.

Maybe the story is not that creative, but what you can't ignore is the protagonists. Farrell is all darting eyes, facial ticks and macho confidence. He never goes over the top, he's not a showy actor, but he's clearly relishing his role and eating it up with abandon. He makes this a Night to remember.
