never heard of it... but in the movie do they speak english or russian?

I prefer to only watch movies that I understand.. reading what there saying just takes the enjoyment out of 'watching' a movie.

its in russian with english subtitles. its a fantasy type movie about vampires and the like.

It's based on the book I'm currently reading.So far it's good.

ahh well see that would annoy me.. Hearing the people in the movie talking in russian yet subtitles at the bottom.. annoying.. I don't understand how people can sit through a movie like that.

yeah i saw it a while back...i expected a lot from it...and was a bit dissapointed...i thought the theme had so much potential; an antient battle between the forces of light and dark, it could have been epic...unfortunately it all got lost in a mundane story and by focusing on the "chosen one" even thought we never get to see just what's so special about him....all the special characters with awesome powers never got to show them on screen...sure they were suposed to be witches and shape shifters and vampires, but all we got to see , for the most part, was ordinary people...
hello dumb american..hellooooo

hey, there's nothing wrong with how I feel/think about those types of movies.. I just don't like hearing something I don't understand and having to read the movie.. it sucks.. I'd rather read the book.

sure there's something wrong with that...it means you're narrow minded, egocentric and dumb...d'uh!! keep going through life with no contact with other cultures and languages....you'll experience sooo fucking much being locked up in you little hick world somewhere in upstate Nu york...

Number one:
I'm ****ing canadian.
I'm no where near New York.
also.. like I said I'd rather read a book then have to read the movie at the bottom.
I don't care for learning other languages..
I like the english lang.. its the only one I know and understand.. I'd much like to keep it that way.
I don't learn those types of things fast.. and I doubt I'll ever go anywhere that involes needing to know another lang.
Its just my personality.. I'm just not interested in those things.
Oh and by the way I have watched movies like that. I watched the Ring first verison.. anyways the picture its self was better then the american verison of the ring.. but I couldn't take the annoynce of having to read what there sayign.so I took off the subtitles and put it on mute.. and just watched it as if it were a old style movie.. before sound with video.
