favorite scene: I liked the Horse Stampede scene.
audience reaction: There were just about half a dozen people in the audience with me. And I couldn't gauge their reaction.
recommendation: I liked it enough as an Action/Vampire movie--and with a kick-ass presidential twist, at that! If you're still in school, go see this movie and do a report on it for your next school year's History Class along the lines of "What I did on my Summer Vacation." You're sure to get an "A" on your report. L.O.L!
spoiler alert! His face was shoved through some wooden planks yet his nose didn't get smashed-in. Nobody can fell a tree like that in real life--the Physics is all wrong! That drug store vampire sure had a watery blood. Abe had a 1,000-pound horse thrown at him and he got up okay. How did they get to the front of the train after they fell down to the tracks? Why didn't the female vampire, Vadoma ( Erin Wasson ), use her ability to become invisible?
fyi: These vampires prefered Dark Meat and Soul Food!
There's a movie on movie2k.to that has been around for about a month-and-a-half now. It is called: ABRAHAM LINCOLN VS. ZOMBIES ( 2012 ), R ( 1 hr & 37 min ).
I'm not done watching it yet.
And here's something that someone sent to my FaceBook page:
I never noticed this before.
But, of course, we now have the Jefferson Nickel that has the face turned to us ( 2011 ) as well as the Jefferson Nickel whose face is oriented the same way as Lincoln's Penny face ( 2005 )--I don't know what these mean .... If there is a hidden symbolism behind these, a numismatist might know of it.
What would have happened had Lincoln just passed the bar ( pun intended )? Ha, ha, ha.
Finally, Rufus Sewell can really see well ( pun intended, again ) because he had his droopy eyelid surgically fixed!
Some Civil War soldiers actually glowed in the dark not because they were vampires but because their wounds got contaminated by friendly microbes, Photorhabdus Luminescens, which ate away at the decaying flesh while imparting it with a "glow-in-the-dark" anti-microbial coating to keep pathogens at bay. These "glow-in-the-dark" soldiers didn't die of infection as a result because their "angels" watched over them. Hence, the name, "Angel's Glow."

| I found this photo of Photorhabdus Luminescens on www.thenakedscientists.com. Nice lookin' angels, huh? |
Now, I want the Civil War Reenactors to include vampires in their reenactments from this point on!
word of advice: Fiction is stranger than Truth.
tidbits: The security guard took my ticket at the door. And as I was making my way to the auditorium, she said to me, "You should have come last night "( for the midnight show ). I told her that I really wanted to, but I wanted to watch the ABRAHAM LINCOLN VS. ZOMBIES, first, on my computer.
Unfortunately for me, I got distracted when I decided to ogle at Internet pictures of motor scooters that I could afford to buy right now with all the money that I got saved-up. Because I want to have a second/back-up vehicle for just-in-case now that I don't have my Geo Metro anymore since it was badly vandalized back in January of this year. And I spent hours ogling at all the nice Korean, Taiwanese and Italian scooters ( better quality than the Chinese-made ones ) that I found on the Internet. AND I WANNA SPLURGE SINCE MY BIRTHDAY'S COMING UP!!!
Or, better yet, maybe I can talk someone into gifting me with a motor scooter for my birthday. Yup, I like this idea better ....
