Underworld and sequels

I like vampire movies. I like Kate Beckinsale (look for a discourse on 'the Last Days of Disco' soon). I found Underworld pretty charming. It's about the war between vampires and werewolves. The commentary track aids the enjoyment quite a bit, as the movie was clearly a true labor of love. The guys who made it wrote it. Many of the visual effects were 'in camera,' including a cool bit where a guy runs down a speeding car from behind and jumps on it! -- he was running on a motorized carpet, which the car wheels straddled, which sped him up. Pretty clever. Last night I started watching the sequel. Nightmare. The first one must have made money cause everything is CGI in the second. I hate CGI. There is also some token nudity/romance in an attempt to appeal to a larger audience. C'est la vie.
