[Quiet Man Cometh]

Vampires cover a lot of territory so it's hard to talk about what makes a real vampire and what doesn't. Making a vampire that's different from the old aristocratic style (ie. Anne Rice, Dracula), can work in Meyer's favour as much as against her. People can get sick and tired of the same old vampire styles (I've heard rants against the noble type for being overused, which one can argue has been around since the late 1800ds I imagine). I wouldn't say there is an old school Dracula though, as there really is just Dracula, ie, the figure in the Bram Stoker novel, and lots of speculation as to who Stoker may have been referencing when he thought him up.

Sucker Punch is on my list to watch. My brother thought it might be something I would like as it appears to be something of a mush of genres and ideas.

Cowboys and Aliens is apparently not bad, and I intend to see that too though as a renter since I don't bother with theaters much. I heard it was fairly true to the atmosphere of the old west, until the aliens appears, which is what I would hope for. It's only the assumption that aliens never bothered showing up until mankind moved into the 20th century that makes the film concept seem wierd or silly.
