Day Watch

Night Watch was really a very good movie. I'm sure there are people who can rip it up for one reason or another, but I enjoyed it. It was not as scary as the trailer led me to believe, but the whole concept was in my opinon awesome. It was based on a trilogy of movies. I also watched the sequel which has just come out on DVD.

You can see the Day Watch Trailer here. I thought it was a well done as the first. The action is really cool, and it continues where the first one left off. The only really odd bit from both movies was the names. Here in America, it's generally a concept that good is light and dark is evil. Same in Russia apparently, but the name Night Watch is about the good--the Light Ones--who watch out over the Dark Ones and police them...thus the term Night Watch. Same but in reverse goes for Day Watch. So the Night Watch is good, and the Day Watch is evil. It's not what they ARE, but what the are confronting that gives them the name of the movies. Sort of like "The Evil Watchers" are not evil..."The Good Watchers" are not good.
