Thanks for the review. I just rented them

 Saw both Night Watch and Day Watch and really enjoy them as Russian dark 
 fantasy adventures.  The Russian aspect is fascinating.
 Definitely worth a look and I am looking forward to the third film.  I have 
 not yet read the books which have been translated into English.  The writer 
 of the books is also the co-screenwriter which is good.
 Cheers,
 Amy


   
 Looking for some flix to rent on Netflix over the weekend.  I just saw a
 preview for Day Watch, that was interesting.  Has anyone hear of it or
 its prequel Night Watch.  Anyone read th trilogy.  It got some good
 reviews.  I never heard of them prior to seeing the preview.  I think it
 came out while I was in Mexico.  NY Times describes it as Star Wars
 Meets the Vampires in Moscow.

 See the plot summaries below.

 Nightwatch - This first installment of the trilogy based on the
 best-selling science fiction novels by Russian writer Sergei Lukyanenko
 plays upon the tension between light and dark, pitting the superhuman
 Night Watch patrollers (known as the Others) against the shadowed
 forces of the night. But the biggest fear of all stems from the lines of
 an ancient prophecy, which warns of a renegade Other whose betrayal
 could bring chaos to the land.


 Daywatch - Anton (Konstantin Khabensky) finds himself in the middle of a
 mythic conflict between the forces of Light and Dark in this sequel to
 Night Watch, the surprise 2004 hit from Russia. To protect his son, who
 has come under the control of the dark side, Anton must seek an ancient
 artifact. But the powerful relic threatens to upset the uneasy peace
 between the two sides and puts Moscow at risk for a devastating
 cataclysm in this supernatural thriller.

 I
  sought it out on Netflix because of that post. I found it to be
  relatively interesting and fun. I have trouble with subtitles but
  it's just my poor ability to read and watch TV at the same time.
 It's
  definitely an entertaining movie though not great film either.
 It's
  clearly plot driven rather than effects driven and that always
 makes
  me happy.
