The Nightwatch is coming...
Ok, I know, Vampire/Action films aren't usually what we play at the Grand. And if you are familiar with my previous journal posts, or have been around me anytime near Halloween (which as far as I'm concerned ought to be year round), you might know that I am CRAZY about vampires. Well, not crazy, but I think they are pretty neat in an aesthetic way, and the mythology is rather interesting and revealing about the human condition (the way that's written makes it sound like an affliction).
So, one might be tempted to think that we are scheduled to play 'Nightwatch' just because I have my own vampire teeth and live in a decrepit castle on a hill. But I must insist that is not the case. You see, this vampire film is different. It's not some half witted Hollywood production. This is a RUSSIAN vampire movie. It's a real life foreign film, replete with subtitles! And really, let's be totally honest, who is Hollywood to be making vampire films in the first place? Russia is second only to Transylvanian Hungary for being the most likely place real vampires might actually exist. So it would seem to me that they might know what they're talking about. Maybe 'Nightwatch' is actually a documentary...
Stay tuned to be scared. 'Nightwatch' plays in March.
