I’ve been waiting for a video for this cover to drop for weeks now. This is a band that I will be keeping my eye on. I’m a huge Bryan Adams fan, I grew up dancing and singing to his music. So when I heard they were covering his song I was like they better knock it out of the park. And they did. The Midway State brings the noise with this awesome cover of “Run To You”. Check it out!

Run To You Lyrics

She says her love for me could never die
But that’d change if she ever found out about you and I

Oh – but her love is cold
Would it hurt her if she didn’t know, cause…

When it gets too much
I need to feel your touch

I’m gonna run to you
I’m gonna run to you
Cause when the feelings right I’m gonna run all night
I’m gonna run to you

She’s got a heart of gold she’d never let me down
But you’re the woman that always turns me on
You keep me coming round

I know her love is true
But it’s so damn easy making love to you

I got my mind made up
I need to feel your touch

I’m gonna run to you
Yeah – I’m gonna run to you
Cause when the feeling right I’m gonna stay all night

I’m gonna run to you
Yeah – I’m gonna run to you
Oh when the feeling right I’m gonna run all night
I’m gonna run to you

****AVERT YOUR EYES AND COME BACK LATER IF YOU HAVEN’T WATCHED THIS LATEST EPISODE OF TRUE BLOOD BECAUSE THIS REVIEW IS CHOCK FULL OF SPOILERS!!!! BUT MAKE SURE TO COME BACK AFTER YOU’VE WATCHED IT AND TELL US YOUR TRUE BLOOD THOUGHTS!!!!****

This week’s episode of True Blood was filled with dire circumstances, confusion, rejection and more spells. Jason comes through. Jessica gets the boot — twice. Alcide breaks a promise. Hoyt shows his ugly side. Sookie and Eric fall even more in love while Bill works the camera. Eric falls into Antonia’s clutches  as easy as 1, 2, 3, and once again it is proven that witches and vampires just can’t get along. Everyday in Bon Temps seems to be filled with drama or a life and death struggle. Nothing is ever certain in this supernatural town except one thing — nothing lasts forever.

Right out of the gate we can breathe a sigh of relief because Jason once again put on his knight in shining armor gear and saved Jess’s life by tackling her to the floor and slamming the door on the sunlight. Looking like she had a bad case of sunburn, Jessica comes to her senses before she can rip Jason’s throat out. Grateful for the life saving rescue, Jessica kisses Jason. And not surprisingly he kisses her back very, very eagerly. It’s at this moment when I realize Jess and Jason make a way sexier couple than Hoyt and Jessica ever could.

Jason carries Jessica back to the dungeon where they find a worried Bill and a dead Bucky. Worried that Antonia has only ceased the spell to lull the vampires into a false sense of safety and catch them off their guard, Jess must be silvered again. And Jason is just the man to do it, and so he silvers her real good this time. He also agrees not to tell the law about Bucky’s demise.

Wanting to keep his pack safe, Marcus commands that they stay out of the vampire/witch war. Back in BT Sam visits Luna unannounced to let her know he quit Tommy for good and that he can’t forgive him for what he did to Luna. He also tells her who Tommy killed to become a skinwalker. And instead of sending Sam packing, Luna invites him in to hang out with Emma while she makes dinner. I’m not surprised she’s giving Sam another chance.

There’s some major moves going on between Eric and Sookie down in Eric’s hidey hole. Eric is injured and weak from the silver chains and since he hasn’t eaten since he drained Sookie’s faerie godmother, he needs some blood. And isn’t he lucky that Sookie is feeling generous? She offers him her blood and it is an ultimate gesture of trust. Eric doesn’t take it lightly and he offers her his own blood in return. Puzzled that he would offer this because she’s not injured, Eric finally gets Sookie to willingly drink  his blood when he tells her it’s so they can be one. The old Eric would be pretty impressed by the new Eric’s ability to get Sookie to share blood and a bond all in one night. And Sookie drinking Eric’s blood from the palm of his hand is symbolic and sexy all in one.

When Jessica returns home she breaks up with Hoyt and she is pretty cold about it. As he cries and and begs her in a most unmanly fashion not to leave him because he’ll die without her, Jessica looks on with contempt and disdain. Fed up with the theatrics she bashes his head in and goes out to Jason who is waiting for her. Before things can get too hot and heavy, Jess wakes up. That’s right. It was all a terrible, wonderful dream. I wonder what Freud would have to say?

Speaking of Jason, he just has his hero suit on tonight. After saving Jess and making sure she won’t try to fry herself in the sun again, he arrives at the scene of Beulah Carter’s demise. Everyone is speculating that it was a suicide, but Jason knows much, much better. He’s also just in time to prevent Andy from hitting a super disgusting and humiliating plateau by preventing him from licking Beulah’s blood clean off the ground. Andy is so far gone into addiction that he needs a serious intervention.

Not far from the scene Maxine is being interviewed and you can just imagine what she’s saying. Bill arrives and glamours the news reporter to give him an interview so he can deliver his statement to the press. It’s the perfect opportunity to demonstrate what hate against vampires can do. I have to give it to Bill but he is one slick politician, a smooth talker, he proves he’s sharp of wit as he goes head to head with Maxine, and he’s the best glamour-er I’ve ever seen.

Finally we get the infamous Sookie and Eric shower scene… sort of. They are basking in the high of each other’s blood and marveling at the wonder of each other (I can’t help the eye roll even though I’m a huge fan of this couple) and when Sookie turns on the shower snowflakes fall instead of water. Suddenly they are in a winter night time forest and a fur covered bed is smack in the middle of the woods. They run to the bed and fall into it and each other. All I have to say is that is one heck of a V trip.

Antonia is pissed at the fact that only 1 vampire has experienced the true death. Her handmaiden Tara is just as bloodthirsty as Antonia is and is eager to learn how to destroy vampires herself. Tara answers the phone when Bill calls for Antonia. Charming Bill convinces Antonia to meet him at midnight (isn’t that the witching hour?) in the cemetery (typical). And is it just me, or do you like Bill better without Sookie too? I think he’s being more himself than he has ever been. It’s a refreshing side to Bill that I’m really enjoying.

While Maxine is taking pics of what is left of Beulah, Tommy is skulking around in Maxine’s house absconding with some interesting items. It doesn’t take much to figure out what he’s up to.

Alcide and Debbie are hanging out with their new pack, and Debbie is more into it than Alcide. Does that have anything to do with a certain blonde faerie he just can’t stop thinking about? Thankfully there is a fight for Alcide to help Marcus break up to take his mind off Sookie. Wouldn’t he be irked to know that while he’s brooding about Sookie she’s busy pondering possibilities with her hunky Viking vampire lover.

Over at Merlotte’s Arlene and Terry are bickering about Mikey when Mikey’s ghost mama shows up and starts singing again. Lala walks into the kitchen and sees her and you know he’s wishing he didn’t. He walks out as quick as he walked in but not before the ghost and him take a good look at each other. I bet you Lala wishes he never let Jesus convince him to go to Mexico.

Tommy has transformed himself into Maxine and this is the LOL moment of the evening. Even though it’s Maxine you see on the screen, you know it’s actually Tommy inside that body. And when he opens his mouth it’s so funny because he could give the real Maxine a run for her money in the rude department. And he actually is going to make off with her money as he cuts a deal with the natural gas prospector. Tsk, tsk Tommy. You are just rotten to the core.

When Jessica comes home for real you immediately realize how bad things are between Hoyt and Baby Vamp because they do not say a word to each other and the tension is so thick you could slice through it with a pair of fangs. Just like in her dream Jessica breaks up with Hoyt, except in her dream she was mean to Hoyt. In the real life version of the break up Hoyt is super mean to her instead. The stuff he spews at her is so hurtful and cruel and he is mean as a rattlesnake. I didn’t know he could be so mean. I’m stunned and shocked. But then I remember he can be mean if he’s mad enough. Even so, what he does to Jess is pretty awful and I can clearly see that he is Maxine Fortenberry’s son to the core. As the coup de grace he gives Jessica the boot by rescinding her invitation to the house they once shared. She lands on the porch in an ungraceful, stunned and crying heap. Cold if you ask me, Hoyt. COLD.

Eric wants him and Sookie to run away from their problems and leave BT in their rearview. He just wants to be with Sookie forever but Sookie feels a responsibility to help Bill fight and protect those she cares about. She reminds Eric that he is a warrior and that nothing lasts forever. And it is so true. Both of them know it is inevitable that their romantic idyll is doomed to come to an end. Just when nobody knows.

After leaving Luna a message that he plans to drop by to tuck his daughter in, Marcus compliments Alcide on his alpha traits. Trying to bind the strong, mature and levelheaded Alcide to the pack Marcus dangles the carrot of advancement in the pack to Alcide. Alcide doesn’t bite though. This makes Debbie anxious. She can feel Alcide’s link to the pack is tenuous and that he’s not as eager as she is to be part of the pack. Her woman’s intuition knows it’s because of Sookie so she gets Alcide to promise he’ll stay away from Sookie. Besides, she’s got vampire baggage and didn’t their new pack leader make it clear to stay out of the vampire/witch war? Seems to me though that Alcide preferred being a lone wolf what with his alpha tendencies and all. I also think that Alcide shouldn’t make promises he can’t keep. Debbie’s going to lose her mind when she loses her man to Sookie, and we all know what happens when Debbie goes crazy don’t we?

Lafayette is catching some zzz’s at his crib and starts dreaming about Mikey’s ghost and what happened to her to keep her earthbound. Everything makes sense now, the doll, the writing on the wall, the annoying singing. Unfortunately now that the door has been opened Lala just can’t seem to close it and get a moment’s peace from the spirits. The guy can’t even take a nap in his own house without a ghost mama showing up and possessing his body. Geez, some spirits just have no couth. I just knew that spirit gave Lafayette a calculating gaze and that it would mean trouble for Lala.

Sookie and Eric visit Bill and pledge their loyal support in the war that’s brewing. Actually, they force him to accept and Bill knows he needs all the help he can get so he has to accept their help. Besides, who wouldn’t want a faerie who can blast her enemies with shiny white light and read minds on their team? Those powers will come in handy and Bill knows it.

It was bound to happen sooner or later that Marcus would drop by unannounced when Sam was over at Luna’s. He’s so not impressed when he sees Sam mowing his lawn, but he’s absolutely irate when he realizes his daughter digs her mama’s new boyfriend. He keeps his anger in check though because Luna threatens to call his parole officer if he starts anything with Sam. He does threaten Sam though, which is kind of funny. I wonder if he’d be so belligerent if he knew Sam isn’t one to mess with. Sam’ll shoot you and throw your body in the lake for the gators before heading over to Merlotte’s and acting like it’s all in a day’s work with no one the wiser. Look out Marcus. You just might get as good as you give this time around and find yourself sleeping with the gators. It also seems to me that Luna gets a lot of unexpected visits from the males in her life.

Thinking that now that she’s a free woman her and Jason can get together, Jess visits Jason at home. Even though she knows Jason feels the same way she does because her blood inside him tells her so, Jason doesn’t want to hurt his best bud. So, let me ask this question then. Why did you kiss Jess back so passionately, Jason? Hmmm? A little late for thinking about Hoyt isn’t it, Jason? And so poor Jess gets the boot for a second time in one night as Jason unceremoniously revokes her invitation to his house too. Once again Jess is out in the cold. This is just not her night.

And it doesn’t seem to be Lala’s night either. How is he going to explain sneaking into the Bellefleur’s place? An earthbound singing spirit with unfinished business made me do it? Is his possessed body really going to abscond with a baby that technically isn’t his?

Bill and Antonia arrive at the cemetery for their meeting but it’s obvious that it’s going to be a showdown and not a parley for peace since they both showed up with their posse. Bill wants peace but his offer and terms are extremely offensive to Antonia. Sookie’s surprised to see Tara on Antonia’s side, but not so much so that she doesn’t read Antonia’s mind. And luckily she does because she catches the head witch casting a spell and warns Bill. Antonia calls Sookie a demoness just as Bill’s bodyguards appear and train a bead on Antonia. Bill demands Antonia’s surrender but we all know Antonia isn’t going to go down without a fight. Before anyone can move Eric attacks a witch and proudly displays his trophy. WTF Eric? You’ve just thrown a monkey wrench into the negotiations. Antonia calls down the fog and everyone scatters and chaos ensues.

Tara shoots a vampire with her gun and out of the blue Pam disarms her (again). Lucky for Tara Bill shows up and saves her from Pam. Tara is all amazed that Bill saved her, but it wasn’t for Tara’s sake, it’s for Sookie. If Pam didn’t gloat she would have got her revenge on Tara, but she took too long and now Bill has commanded her to leave Tara alone. Pissed Pam takes off. Poor Pam. Always so close. Maybe the third time will be the charm. Just don’t gloat first.

While Eric is feeding on a witch and Bill is saving Tara, Alcide is frantically searching for Sookie and he doesn’t know it but Debbie is following him. I guess she didn’t believe Alcide’s promise either. Sookie gets attacked and mistaken for a vampire and she protects herself by shooting some white light out of her hands and blasting her attacker. She’s grateful that she’s starting to get the hang of her powers, but while she’s thanking her powers for their cooperation she gets shot in the stomach. Both Eric and Bill sense she’s in danger but they don’t come to her rescue. Alcide does. Just when you think the faeries might show up and take her, Alcide finds her and scoops her up to take her to safety. Debbie sees all this since she’s followed him and I can’t help but wonder if he’s going to have to save Sookie from Debbie before to long.

And the thought crosses my mind that neither one of Sookie’s vampires are there to save her. Bill is busy getting silvered because he got distracted and Eric, well, if he hadn’t been so busy feeding and killing, Sookie might not have gotten shot in the first place. And where was Eric when things went foggy? Shouldn’t he have stayed near Sookie? What was he thinking? He started the fight too. Geez, not too smart if you ask me. It’s like he’s some wild, dangerous, untamed and unpredictable creature even though he’s sweet and almost innocent.

Eric and Antonia meet again. As if he didn’t learn the first time that attacking Antonia head on will get you no where but spelled, Eric stumbles into the witch and thinks he can take her. Now Antonia has cast another spell over him and this time she has brought him to his knees. Once again Eric is at the witch’s mercy and she’s just stroking his hair like he’s some kind of pet.

So what does this mean for Eric and Sookie? Will their love and their bond be strong enough against whatever it is Antonia did to Eric? I suppose their loving interlude had to end sometime. Things are really getting shaken up in BT. This episode made it so abundantly clear that nothing lasts forever. Especially in Bon Temps. And just what is Antonia doing to Eric? Is she making a slave out of him? I guess we’ll have to wait until next week to find out.

****AVERT YOUR EYES AND COME BACK LATER IF YOU HAVEN’T WATCHED THIS LATEST EPISODE OF TRUE BLOOD BECAUSE THIS REVIEW IS CHOCK FULL OF SPOILERS!!!! BUT MAKE SURE TO COME BACK AFTER YOU’VE WATCHED IT AND TELL US YOUR TRUE BLOOD THOUGHTS!!!!****

This week’s episode left me screaming, “Nooooo! Not Jessica!” Then I remembered she’s a baby vampire and so she won’t burn as fast as Godric did so there’s hope left. But some vamps didn’t have a hope in Hades once Marnie, or should I say Antonia got her spell cast. For instance, Maxine’s neighbor went up in flames, curlers and all. No hope there. Every vampire in Bon Temps who knows Bill went to ground in silver, but no matter if you are Eric, Bill or baby Jessica, if you are a vampire you found yourself under Antonia’s control. And that woman seems to be all about control. The vampires have good reason to be scared.

Katie is playing Plants vs. Zombies, which is hilarious BTW, as she makes her way down to Bill’s dungeon. She’s tricked into entering Marnie’s cell when she sees Luis looking like he’s going to take a bite out of the witch. Katie threatens to shoot him with silver bullets but in one swift vampire move, he manages to disarm her and throws her to the ground. After Luis glamors her and ferrets some info out of her, Antonia orders that he kill Katie since she is a traitor. But Antonia won’t let him kill her the vampire way, nope. No blood for Luis.Once he’s done his job as executioner, Antonia gives him a message to give to Bill. Antonia Gavilan de Logrono has returned.

Pam is terrifying Tara and Naomi a bit before exacting her revenge. Tara predictably pulls a gun on Pam and Pam easily swats it out of her hands, but as Pam goes to finish Naomi with her fangs, Tara whacks Pam up against her head with a garbage can lid and a good chunk of scalp and blonde hair goes flying. I can only figure it’s because she’s rotting that these two girls even have a chance with Pam as angry as she is. Naomi gets the chance to scramble into Merlotte’s and for a minute you think she’s running for her life. Pam is holding Tara in the air by the neck so that her feet are dangling off the ground and wouldn’t you know it but Naomi has gathered a bunch of people to see the vampire violence outside. A crowd shows up with cameras snapping pics. So the show is over for now because Pam can’t be caught on film hurting a human in this post Russell Edgington world. Pam does make a spectacular and menacing promise to Tara to watch her back.

“I will hunt you down and shred you like confetti.”

Back in Mexico, Jesus is telling his grandpa off in spades. The news is out that Lala is a medium, grandpa just brought the drama to prove it to Lafayette is all. No harm done because he never wanted to kill Jesus. He knew all along Lala would save him.

Alcide and Debbie have officially become members of Marcus’ pack. Alcide is worrying over Sookie which doesn’t exactly thrill Debbie. Here it is a special night and he’s thinking about the faerie. Surprisingly, instead of throwing a fit Debbie agrees to give Sookie 10 minutes of their time and they go looking for her! And they find her alright…in the arms of Eric rolling around in the grass. Well, the look on Alcide’s face gives it all away, and Debbie doesn’t miss that look either, because while Alcide is looking at Sookie, Debbie is looking at Alcide. Oh boy.

Luis goes to Bill as ordered and gives him the message. Bill is surprised, and not just by the fact that Antonia has returned, but by the fact that Luis shoots him. Luis goes for the fancy stake to finish Bill off, but  Bill shoots Luis and there is a mad dash and scramble for the ceremonial stake. Bill manages to win that scuffle and questions Luis while holding the stake to his heart. Luis stakes himself and mutters the word, “Resurrection.” That can only mean one horrifying thing.

Tara and Naomi are sitting in Merlotte’s parking lot. Naomi wants to take off but Tara knows there is no running from a vampire. So she does the only thing she can do to keep Naomi safe. She breaks up with Naomi. Naomi leaves and Tara sobs. It’s sad but Tara didn’t really have a choice.

Jason is fantasizing about Jessica even though he’s trying not to and Hoyt rings the doorbell. He’s just checking up on Jason since Jess is over at Bill’s.  And he’s worried about Jason. Jason reassures him everything’s OK. But Hoyt isn’t. He’s having relationship problems. Not wanting to talk about Jess, Jason offers to make Hoyt some food. Oh boy.

Bill is bringing Jessica up to speed about Antonia. It reminded me of a dad telling scary ghost stories to a child. And technically Bill is Jessica’s father since he is her maker. And like a father he wants to keep Jessica safe and in order to do so he needs to tell her about the real danger that Antonia poses to all vampires.

“Okay. Well, I sure as hell don’t wanna fry in the sun.”

Bill gathers his sheriffs and orders them to tell every vampire in their area who chooses to stay must go to ground in silver. It’s not a popular command but it is the only choice they have if they, as Jessica would say, don’t wanna fry in the sun. They must brace themselves for the Resurrection.

Meanwhile Eric and Sookie are rolling around all over their house. Their relationship might be brief but they are definitely making the most of their time together. In the afterglow, Eric is listening to Sookie’s heartbeat. He asks her if she wants him to remember. If she would still love him if he was his old self. Sookie doesn’t sugar coat it and answers honestly that she’s not sure. But she really, really wants to.

Pam is suffering the torments of hell for the sake of beauty and is getting a peel. She has enlisted the help of the woman who helped Sookie after she was attacked by Maryann. The good doctor can’t stop Pam from rotting but she can get her to look pretty again and give her a bulk discount on her shots. And that’s 6 shots 4 times a day in the buttocks, arms and temples forever. Ouch!

Sam has taken Tommy to the hospital and thinks it’s a simple case of food poisoning. He’s all concerned too. Oh boy. Isn’t he going to flip when he finds out what Tommy did.

Bill visits Sookie and Eric to tell them about Antonia. Sookie thanks Bill and Sookie wants to spare him the details of their reunion so she shushes Eric who means no harm when he innocently and truthfully answers Bill’s question. Lol. Bill tells them about Antonia and knew Eric wouldn’t leave so he came prepared. Bill tells Sookie that if she cares about Eric she’ll make sure he’s silvered and leaves her the pile of silver chains he brought them.

Tara’s back on the bottle and stumbling aimlessly down the side of the road trying to wash away her sorrows. She hears a rustling in the woods and at first she thinks it’s Pam come to finish her off. Luckily for her it’s just Antonia. Antonia tells her that Marnie is no longer in control of her body and makes Tara an offer she can’t refuse using their similar pasts and suffering as the common bond that unites them. Something tells me Tara will live to regret this. Antonia is using her just like she’s using Marnie.

Bill’s prepping for the Resurrection. Jessica’s getting silvered by Bill’s employees and is howling in pain. Unable to stand her torment Bill takes over. Feeling pity for her he makes a bad decision and goes light on the silver, not even laying a chain across her neck. It’s a decision many parents make. They don’t like to see their children suffer so they go easy on their offspring even though it goes against their better judgement. And something always usually goes wrong because of these decisions. It’s universal, but I guess Bill doesn’t know this because he’s never really raised any children before. Even when he was a human he was away at war, so he didn’t really know any better. Sometimes what’s good for the child isn’t fun, Bill. Case in point: children must eat their vegetables so they can be healthy. Vampires must be silvered securely so they don’t fry in the sun.

Bill does however request that his man put twice as many silver chains on him. He should have put the same amount on Jessica.

Ginger predictably has the task of giving Pam her injections and getting Pam ready for the Resurrection. Pam is looking hideous but she is still glamorous all decked out in a pink suit with a fancy, quilted, and tasseled pink designer/custom made coffin. Ginger lays some fancy silver chain mail over Pam who screams in agony and voila. All ready.

Sookie is silvering Eric, apologizing and telling him she’s lost too many people and so she can’t lose him. Eric asks her to stay with him and she lays down beside him, determined to wait the ordeal out with him.

Jesus and Lafayette are talking about what it means for Lala to be a medium. Jesus is convinced Lala is the answer because he can connect with the dead just like Marnie. They don’t even know yet what is going down in Bon Temps. If Layfayette thinks he’s got troubles now just wait til he gets back home.

Sam gives Luna a call trying to be all flirtatious and doesn’t expect to be told off by her. He is baffled. I can’t help but laugh because this ish is getting more painfully funny. You know it’s going to be one helluva shock  for both of them when they find out what happened.

Tara is campaigning to get every Wiccan she can to help Marnie out. And she’s pretty convincing too. Despite her misgivings and her children, Holly decides to get on board with Tara and Marnie. Operation be safe from vampires for good looks like it will be a flaming success.

Bill and Jess are having a heart to heart. Neither of them know if they will live to see the night. Jessica confides in Bill that she doesn’t love Hoyt the way he loves her. She feels bad and Bill gives her absolution. Bill is just feeling bad about himself and his life. In turn Jessica tries to make him feel better. And she does put a smile on his face with her ferociousness. I almost think I would feel sorry for Marnie if Jessica got her fangs on her. And Marnie could actually say an evil spirit made me do it. Lol.

Eric asks Sookie to remove the silver and even though he asks sweetly and tries to distract her she’s won’t give in. He really doesn’t want to go back to being the old Eric. And as much as I like this little interlude, I want the old Eric back. Things will get really interesting then don’t you think?

Doggedly determined, Sam goes to see Luna. He actually thinks she’s playing hard to get which is comical and tragic all at once. Luna gives him the 411 by questioning him if he remembers anything and whether or not he has a twin brother and Sam finally puts 2 and 2 together. They both feel sick and freaked out. Oh boy.

Needless to say Andy and Holly’s date does not go well. Not only is Andy clueless, he’s also jonesing for V big time. I almost feel sorry for Andy. Almost. He takes off like the hounds of hell are nipping at his heels leaving Holly baffled. Poor Holly, but I think you just dodged some drama.

Lala’s back at work and sees Mikey’s ghost. She starts singing and it freaks the heck out of him. Poor Lala. Once the ghost is out of the coffin there’s no going back. Unless Lafayette learns how to control and work with his abilities he’s going to go crazy.

Later on in the intimacy of their bedroom Debbie reveals her insecurities about Sookie to Alcide. Alcide admits to worrying about Sookie but that is all because he is in love with Debbie. He promises to love her forever. Now I’m sure he’s trying to convince himself and Debbie that that is true, but it was written all over his face. We all saw it. It’s only a matter of time before Debbie loses her man to Sookie for good and goes crazy.

“I seek only the assistance of the willing.”

Antonia reveals her true self to the gathered witches. She tells them that they are at war with the vampires. She gives them the option to stay or go. Some go. Most stay. She tells them about Katie’s treachery and that she has paid for it. She tells them that vampires aren’t immortals. She tells them that humans are more powerful because their souls are immortal. She tells them that this time they can defend themselves. And they must strike or the vampires will destroy them in the worst ways possible. 400 years have passed and the time has come.  Antonia has her coven and it looks like she will get her revenge.

“Vampires are not immortal. They are only harder to kill.”

Sam confronts Tommy and he has had enough. Tommy has screwed up big time and there is nothing he can do or say to fix things now. Sam tells him to get the hell out. So much for being brothers.

Antonia begins to cast the spell that will destroy the vampires. She looks so righteous as she utters the incantation that will control the vampires and force them into the sun to burn. As she stands in the middle of the coven circle she levitates clear off the ground demonstrating her power. A mighty wind begins to blow throughout the shop and throughout Bon Temps.

Jason stops by Sookie’s but Sookie can’t talk because she is trying to make sure Eric doesn’t get up to go and fry in the sun. Jason does some fast thinking about what this means for Jessica and takes off running hell bent for leather. I love it that he thinks he can rescue her, but can he?

And here is where I gain a whole new respect for screaming Ginger. Even if you do think she is a screaming, ditzy, ninny, here’s the thing. Even though she is terrified out of her head half the time and probably isn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer she tries her best to help her vampires. As Pam is screaming her fanged head off, screaming Ginger climbs on top of that pink coffin and hangs on for dear life, screaming. But I’ll bet she won’t let Pam out no matter what Pam says.

Bill, Jessica, Eric… It seems every vampire worth their fangs is screaming to be let out into the sun. And that witchy wind is blowing inside and out infecting them all with this crazy longing for the blazing orb. None of them are in their right mind.

Maxine’s neighbor goes up in flames right before Maxine’s astonished eyes, curlers and all, and even though it’s horrific I’m sure many of us laughed at the craziness of it all. And Maxine, well she knew her neighbor was a vampire all along and this just confirms it.

Jessica breaks free of the chains holding her to the bed. She tricks Bucky and snatches his keys to the silver jail. And even though Bill commands her as her maker to come back and to release him, she doesn’t. She crawls her way upstairs, opens the doors and stands in the blinding glare of the sun.

And here’s where I scream,”Nooooo! Not Jessica!”

Everything is falling apart and it seems like Antonia has all the control.

Colin Farrell has entered the land of the remake. He will play a vampire named Jerry in the 2011 DreamWorks remake of Fright Night. Now, I dig him as a vampire, but couldn’t they have come up with a cooler name than Jerry? I know the joke is he’s supposed to be an ordinary dude who just moved into the neighborhood, but come on! Jerry? Couldn’t he be a Josh or a Michael or a Gabriel even?

Also in the film is Anton Yelchin of Terminator Salvation and Star Trek fame as Charley. He’s the teenager with the slightly cooler name who just knows his new neighbor Jerry is a vampire.

The movie is being billed as a horror comedy and I think this movie will most likely be more fun than fright. I also think Colin Farrell as a sexy vampire is right on the money.

Fright Night hits theaters August 19th, same night as Jason Momoa’s Conan the Barbarian. Which film do you think will do better?
