Thanks for all the suggestions. There’s a lot here we’ve already seen, but a lot we hadn’t. I’m watching Hellboy right now. The wife isn’t so sure about it (as he’s, y’know, **Hell** boy), but I think they’ll dig it. I forgot all about **Underworld** - that one has promise!

Anyone see **The Chronicles of Riddick**? That looks like good action-y campy fun.

Thanks again!

Mr. Vampire [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089371/](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089371/) is a great fun martial arts chop-sockey vampire film. Shaolin Soccer would be great for kids and adults.

Another vote for **Big Trouble In Little China** … and although I see where Zebra’s coming from, I don’t necessarily agree.

How about **Young Sherlock Holmes**? That is a good, fun movie.
