Nowadays, I have Netflix and Popcorn and not only I have since then an endless selection of movies to choose from but, as a result, I have become slightly more picky regarding the movies I watch. Before, I used to watch pretty much anything as long as it was starring one or two actors I was interested in and, as a result, I would sometimes end up watching some really obscure features.

You know, if they would have chosen a path – dark comedy or serious vampire story – and stuck with it instead of merging the two into this hodge-podge unsettled mess we could have had something here. But the behind the scenes politics of filmmaking lead to a less than stellar product. Ain’t that always the way it goes down?

A Real Low In Murphy's Career

“This is reverse racism of the worst kind, a film where all the white people are the bad guys and the black people are the good guys. How come racially-biased films like this are "politically correct" even though they reek of prejudice? All the white people are killed, too. Does make things better? Does that help race relations?

Add to that bigotry and very boring love story between Murphy and Angela Bassett and you have a film that was very disappointing. Murphy is a funny guy and someone whose films I usually enjoy....but this was ridiculous. This was a movie that didn't really know what it wanted to be: comedy, romance or horror. A good mixture would have acceptable but none of the categories were represented well here.

As other people point out, this started off stro” read more

"First viewing - Feb. 1st Given the notorious reputation of Vampire In Brooklyn I've avoided it for years now. But on this night I decided to finally give it a chance. And you know what? I genuinely enjoyed it. Murphy plays his role straight, which I think most people weren't looking for back when it came out. For comic relief there's John Witherspoon and Kadeem Hardison who both deliver most of the time. And the chemistry between Murphy and Angela Bassett is believable and elevates the film. So"
