Dead Alive.... awesome. Peter Jakson needs to make more horror comedies. New Moon... really slow and I couldn't relate to the characters. The film is much better in retrospect. I think of Bella, Edward, Jacob, the humans, the vampires, the werewolves, and the volturi as representations of groups involved with the 1600s-1700s america (vampires - immigrants, volturi - england, spain, original country from which the immigrants left in order to live differently, werewolves - hostile indians, humans - receptive indians/indians unaware of the immigrant's presence, Bella - Pocahontas figure, etc). Looking back, the only thing that I had a problem with is the visuals. Didn't contrast the old gothic with the new americana much.
