I don't rec movies very often, as I know how subjective a love of a film can be, but I'm making an exception to recommend Underworld: Rise of the Lycans. I didn't hold very high hopes for this film, despite the presence of Michael Sheen and Bill Nighy. A third film in a series I love and a prequel to boot, not directed by Len Wiseman either: everything was just telling me to fear the worst.

I'm delighted to say I was wrong. If you've seen the first two Underworld movies, and liked them, even if you were a bit disappointed by Underworld:Evolution, you should watch Rise of the Lycans. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and at the end felt a sense of 'aw, is that it?'. It neatly caps off the trilogy, holding firmly to its own canon set out in the first two films. Oh, and if you've never seen any of them, it's a prequel so go watch it anyway!

The only downside is I've now got a new fandom I want to write and I'm frantically batting away bunnies. *headdesk*
