A recipe for disaster

Director: Kurt Wimmer Cast: Cameron Bright, Milla Javovich, Nick Chinlund, William Fichtner 4/10

Hello dahlings, today we will learn to prepare a dish of entertainment aka Kurt Wimmer. First, take the plots from various comics of the Animax genre like Witch Hunters and so on. Then mix them all well together so that it ultimately reaches the stale state of humans hunting non-humans, vampires in fact.

The logic is a bit vague but, after all, is there really logic behind mass killing? Then soak it in a large dose of graphic effects. Take care so that no consecutive 10 minutes pass without the heroine, the non-human rebel (Cameron Bright) massacring huge armies of human enemies.

Then carefully introduce a human child with a host of superbly dangerous germs cultured in his blood. Then stand aside and let some bonding happen. Give it not more than 15 minutes. Then start with the blinding special effects once more. Be careful to sprinkle ‘oriental magic’ from time to time. Now, serve with continuous wooden acting all around and about 10 minutes of superb photography, and watch your guests (or audience) run for their lives and never return.

That’s all, folks.
