Daybreakers and Youth In Revolt Reviews This Weekend




Two movies with great hype in two different genres are coming out this weekend and I plan on seeing both of them.

First, Youth In Revolt looks to be a hilarious teen comedy that combines great comedic actors Michael Cera, Justin Long, and Zach Galifianakis.

Cera is known for his awkward teenage characters in movies like Superbad and Juno, while Long does some of his best work in Waiting. Galifianakis is fresh off the second buzz of The Hangover which stemmed from its DVD release in the recent past.

The movie's plot sounds extremely promising with Cera playing both his usual awkward teen character as well as an alter ego which is more badass.

The second movie, Daybreakers, looks just as promising, but in the horror genre.

Daybreakers looks like it will bring prominence back to the vampire horror genre which has been absolutely made a mockery of by mainstream popular culture.

The cast of this movie looks great with Willem Dafoe and Sam Neill. The storyline about vampires running out of human to harvest for blood sounds creepy enough to get most people interested in the film.

From the looks of the trailer, the vampires look promising as they are represented as these mutant-like creatures. The special effects on the vampires themselves look like they will scare most people.

I am interested to see how the few humans left on the planet avoid capture in a world filled with vampires. It is a very interesting concept, which reminds me a bit of I am Legend. If it's anything like that movie, while being original, I will enjoy it.

I am looking forward to reviewing both of these movies when this weekend.
