Daybreakers is a vampire-themed movie released January 6, 2010. Although the obvious release date of the movie is to harness the vampire mania to improve ticket sales, it’s no reason to ignore the movie. After all, the movie features established actors such as Ethan Hawke, Willem Dafoe and Sam Neill.
The Movie is centered on Edward Dalton (Ethan Hawke), a vampire who lives in a world controlled by vampires. They are facing an immediate crisis of running out of human blood because humans is nearing extinction. Edward accidentally found a group of humans with a very interesting discovery and mayhem ensues.
The movie is more like a sci-fi rather than a pure vampire flick. Blood shortage could be attributed to anything – food, fuel, oxygen or anything important to the human race or vampires for this movie. This relatively generic theme made the movie one of the “me too” films because the premise has very little imagination or relation to the vampire.

After all the documentaries that have been released in the past nine years showing those indelible footages of the twin towers’ destruction and the moments of agony the world lived on that 9/11, Steven Spielberg is opening a new chapter to witness and record the new World Trade Centre that is to rise again from the ashes of Ground Zero. The production of a series of documentary in six parts to be entitled “Rebuilding Ground Zero” is planned to be completed and released in 2011.
