Well hello

Welcome to Vampire Explosion! My ramblings about everything that interests me regarding film, television, and popular culture. I just reviewed Starship Troopers 3. I'll try to keep this thing updated with my ramblings once a month maybe more. Since this is my first time posting here, you get not one, but two postings for the price of, well, whatever the hell your internet provider is charging you.


What the hell is up with 2008? I'm calling it right now, 2008 has been one of the best years for movies in recent memories. Not only are we getting really good quality blockbusters; The Dark Knight and Tropic Thunder. We're getting some great indies as well like The Wackness.

But what we've been getting this year are also some really cool B-Movie genre mashups. We started with Neil Marshall's Doomsday, and here are some upcoming flicks I'm excited for:

Babylon A.D. starring Vin Diesel




This looks a lot like Children of Men but less Blade Runner, and more Chronicles of Riddick. But, hey French sci-fi is tons of fun.

Outlander starring John Hurt, Ron Perlman, and James Caviezel.



A human hunting an alien monster lands in some Nordic country and there are vikings! Pulpy and silly? Yes. Entertaining as hell? Looks like it could be.

Mutant Chronicles starring Ron Perlman, Thomas Jane, and Devon Aoki.



This is another digital backlot flick(like Sky Captain, and Sin City). A Retro future war movie involving mutants and some sort of religious cult based off of the RPG of the same name. I'll be reviewing this next month!
