A couple of days ago I went to see Underworld: Awakening in 3D, and it was so great to see that Kate Beckinsale is still totally hot, even at the ripe old age of 38. I wasn't really expecting much from the fourth installment in the Underworld series, but I actually had loads and loads of fun watching it! For the price of admission you get non-stop action, a story that is actually kind of interesting in an obvious sort of way, some very nice gore shots, cool looking vampires, big scary werewolves (both the CGI and the guy-in-a-rubber-suit variety), a smoking hot Kate Beckinsale in a tight black outfit (and also out if it), a gorgeous little 12 year old hybrid girl (man, was I relieved to find out later that the actress who plays her is actually 18) and a 3D experience that is actually worth the extra 8 shekels, despite the film's dark, blue-tinted color scheme (I guess there's a reason why the Hebrew title of the series is War of Darkness). Swedish directors Måns Mårlind and Björn Stein did a very nice job with this sequel and proved that they actually know how to shoot a movie in 3D, so they better hurry up and start working on Underworld 5: Revenge of the Vamp MILF as soon as possible, preferably before Ms. Beckinsale hits 40, because there is nothing sadder in the whole wide world than a formerly beautiful woman. If you saw Lauren Holly on Lost Girl this week, you know exactly what I mean.
Bonus haiku:
Oh Kate Beckinsale,
How I want to make sweet love
To your lovely face.
