Robert Pattinson tries to move onto a more adult role after the Twilight movies, but seems miscast in Water for Elephants. Tyler Perry has made another movie that should be an embarrassment for anyone. Why does he keep making these horrible comedies? In the limited releases, it is interesting that someone made a vampire movie that is more like a zombie movie than viewing the vampires as romantic leading men. It probably would have been a bigger splash if it came out in the late 1980s when there were other similar vampire movies out.
