It’s official….Mick St. John has turned me into a vampire.

And like Mick and Josef, I prefer my bloody drink chilled and served in a crystal wine glass… Type A please, thank you very much…

This is crazy! I’ve been drooling over MOONLIGHT for the past few weeks, and I’d say it’s the modern day version of Lost Boys (if you still remember that super cool 80’s vampire movie?). Mick St. John is a vampire slash private investigator out to solve crimes. His best friend is Josef Konstantin, a rich and discerning ladies’ man whose charm outweighs his being dangerously vampire.

The story depicts that vampires are among us, living the way we live –only 400+ years longer. Mick falls in love with a mortal (Beth Turner), who was previously the same little kid he saved from his crazy ex-wife Coraline. Coraline tried to use little Beth to woo Mick into being a complete family. Knowing how she would sacrifice little Beth’s life, Mick kills Coraline through fire –saving Beth from death. But is Coraline really dead?

Beth grows up –works for Buzzwire as a tv anchor. And Mick tried to exist within her world –but not quite…until they meet again. Beth eventually finds out the truth about Mick St. John…and the rest is well, history? Not yet.

Moonlight keeps me on my toes, but it doesn’t make me feel stressed after watching back-to-back episodes on C/S RPN9 every Friday (9PM). I like it because it’s not as complicated and twisted as Lost. Solving crimes as a private investigator was a complimentary mission to Beth’s media work. And as a vampire, solving crimes becomes more action-packed and tasteful.

The cinematography is excellent and the plot is well understood, even though you haven’t started the series from the top. It also has a dash of witty humor here and there, c/o Josef and his many vampire friends. Especially when they show how “modern” these vampires are when they eat/drink via crystal wine glasses, picking type A and O blood in bags with their “blood brokers” in hospitals, and playing poker with blood vials as chips! This just shows that biting people on their necks is sooo over…

It’s soooo cool that it makes me want to be a vampire! Seriously! Do watch it guys!

PS. And can I just say… Alex O’Loughlin (Mick) and Jason Dohring (Josef) make me thirsty??? Woohoo!!!
