Blade: Trinity (2004)
Popcorn movies at their best.
I went to see this at a press screening last night. And must I say that it is one of the real gems as of late.
The most important thing I can say is this is a pure popcorn movie. It's about kung fu, vampires and random coolness, so if you're willing to accept no amazing revelations or great storytelling, and simply want to see Wesley Snipes stab 80 some odd vampires with a ninja sword, this is your kind of movie!
Which is all you need to know. It's fun. It is the kind of movie you go to to unwind after a long week of work simply wanting to decompress on some level.
Some will be disappointed however with the new additions. After a story twist, Blade ends up teamed with the Nightstalkers, a team of Vampire Hunters that back Blade throughout the sequel. In tow is the heart of this movie: Hannibal King, played by Ryan Reynolds. Reynolds adds a huge amount of raunchy comedy and wise-ass remarks that perfectly matches Snipe's "too cool to do anything but stand here dramatically" attitude. He definitely steals the show.
Jessica Biel is hot. Obviously beautiful ladies are important to things like this.
And Eurotrash Dracula no. 245018563 is actually quite entertaining. He's disgusted with humanity and has a general loathing for Count Chocula, a somewhat original little bit.
All in all, it's fun, it's entertaining. It has whole sale violence and comedy. Nothing more is expected in such a thing, I'd give it a perfect 10, but even being what it is, it's not exactly holding any cerebral value per se, so I give it a 9 out of 10.
The Godfather (1972)
Do I even need to do this?
This is a masterwork of a film. Completely and absolutely the greatest movie ever created. In fact, it is so incredibly perfect, I don't even need to go any further. Nothing went wrong. Rent, buy, see it. No matter how, it's eternally enjoyable. There is no more quotable, or enjoyable film. Anywhere.
Pryde of the X-Men (1989)
A great effort!
This is probably one of the best comic enspired TV series ever! Sadly, the pilot was never turned into a series!! It was a great adaptation of the comic book, and was home of some of the best voice talent of the time. Sadly, the show was shelved, and several years later, when X-Men made it to TV, a weaker cartoon was devised. This is eternally regarded as the difinitive X-Men cartoon in my book, and should be seen by any X-Fan! If you are lucky enough to find the VHS copy, buy it! I did, and I've never regretted it.
