Lovely though the end result may be, it is difficult to get past the sense of guilt accompanying the release of these undead films. The question transcends aesthetic merit and becomes personal: does a significant contribution to the genre outweigh the ethical concerns of intruding on an artist’s personal work? every artist has the prerogative to decide which ideas to pursue. It’s a right as basic as keeping one’s thoughts to oneself, and to produce someone’s unfinished work feels, at some level, like an extremely personal type...

...funny how fast the Beltway consensus can change. A few months ago, health care reform was dead. Then it got undead. Financial regulatory reform was supposedly dead too, but now that Republicans have supposedly learned that pure obstructionism is a losing play, it's being treated as a done deal. Democrats like Obama's economic adviser Larry Summers and Senate Banking Committee chairman Christopher Dodd are saying it's going to pass, perhaps as early as next month. So are key Republicans like Senator Judd Gregg of New Hampshire, who recently put the odds of passage...

There may be plenty of reasons for the higher Oscars ratings: a blockbuster (Avatar) was nominated; there were twice as many Best Picture nominees; Twilight's dreamboat stars were trotted out like a big undead parade; and in a lousy economy, free TV is a cheap date.

...conceit of Abraham Lincoln is that Grahame-Smith - his very name is a mashup! - has come into possession of Lincoln's secret diaries detailing his life as a stalker of vampires. As a frontiersboy, Lincoln loses his mother to the undead and swears lifelong vengeance. A giant among men - he was 6 ft. 4 in. (1.9 m) tall - Lincoln adopts the ax, that most American of edged weapons, as the tool of his trade, hiding it inside his signature long black coat. (See pictures of Hollywood vampires...

...first and most beguiling part of Daybreakers introduces us to this undead society, where young women wear crimson lipstick and blood is sold at the equivalent of coffee bars - I'll have a double-frappuccino hemoglobin, please. Set in 2019, the movie has a retro-future look, naturally indebted to Blade Runner, but which the Spierigs and their design team have brought to artful life on a less than lavish budget, with cool blues and grays complementing the vampires' pallor. (You'll get another retro-future landscape next week in The Book of Eli, directed by another twin-brother team...
