Anna Paquin arrives at Hollywood’s Cinerama Dome for the premiere of her new HBO series True Blood.

The series follows Sookie Stackhouse (Paquin), a clairvoyant barmaid living in voodoo bogged Louisiana. Vampires have “Come out of the coffin” on national TV and now roam freely in the world. When Bill, a vampire, walks into her bar, Sookie’s life is turned upside down.

We’re not sold on this show yet and don’t know that we ever will be. We love the show’s creator, Alan Ball, and his previous work (Six Feet Under, American Beauty) but this just sounds stupid.

The series was a fail, in my opinion. It became too predictable and dull. I think vampire stories are one of the hardest stories to pull off. It's either audiences are hooked, or shook their heads away.

Law Abiding Citizen See It or Skip It

F. Gary Gray's latest effort, Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is a knockout! Exhilirating, wry and breathcatchingly paced, it's a stellar accomplishment for everyone involved. Hell yeah you should see it!

The Boys Are Back See It or Skip It

Scott Hicks, the director of Shine, and Clive Owen teamed up for this gloriously beautiful if underwhelming project. It's not that it's bad, it's just not that memorable and with such supreme talent attached, I was hoping for and expecting a lot more.

Jennifer's Body See it or Skip it

Oh, Diablo Cody, why'd you have to do it? I love you so long...and then you made this. Megan Fox does what she always does, she looks hot. At least there's that. Sophmoric, unfunny and obsessively idiosyncratic, it's a painful movie going experience.

See It or Skip It: World's Greatest Dad

Chocolate and peanut butter. Spaghetti and meatballs. Bobcat Goldthwait and profanity. Two great tastes that taste great together. Gone is the Bobcat of the Police Academy movies and in his stead is a fantastic writer-director who's able to orchestrate the most brilliantly, hilarious vulgarity imaginable. World's Greatest Dad is a fantastic dark comedy (very dark) that features Robin Williams' best performance since Good Will Hunting. See it!
