Blade

Sorry it's been so long. I re-discovered the Sims and my social life has stopped and film watching has stopped so that I can play the Sims. There will be more films soon!

Another film about vampires. There have been so many that it is hard to keep up but I think that I am starting to get there.
Wesley Snipes stars as Blade. The really low voice works wonders- it always does. There weren't any classic moments in this film or really any very memorable quotes or one liners but it was a decent film nonetheless. I can't compare his role in this film to anything else as i haven't seen him in anything other than Blade Three. Are there any Wesley Snipes fans reading this?

The woman in this film was absolutely useless until the end of the film. She was pathetic in all fights until the last ten minutes of the film. I know that she is a doctor but she could at least spend her time in the film learning how to fight to some level instead of just screaming and getting captured all the time.

I know that the film was made in 1998 so the opening shot of the film would have been really impressive if it hadn't looked obviously like paint but then maybe it looked really good in 1998 or was trying to be like Tarantino and go for obvious fake blood.

There was a moment at the end of the film when i did wonder if the guy that was spinning his legs around a lot was actually going to make contact with anything of if he really was in fact a street/ break dancer and had started out as an extra in the film until they found out that he could move his legs like that and then wrote him in because as cool as it looks to be able to do all that weird stuff with your feet... he doesn't hit Blade once!

It's got some good fight scenes in it but it's got nothing on any of the films made after the matrix (2000).
