Blade II

Title: Blade II

Throwback Tuesday take us back to the only Blade movie worth a damn, and, not uncoincidentally, the only one of the trilogy directed by Guillermo del Toro. It’s also the only one that finds a way to make vampires, in this case “Reapers,” legitimately creepy. Blade II isn’t a great film by any means, but it is unquestionably the high-water mark of the franchise.

Spooky Saturday takes us back t0 a movie that even if it contained a commentary track by Carson Daly filmed inside the TRL studio could still not be more 1998. Wesley Snipes stars as the Marvel Comics character who helps out a doctor bitten by a vampire and protects the world from skeezy vampire withe delusions of grandeur (Stephen Dorff) from taking it over. The film is notable for aspects of its style which look to have heavily influenced the first Matrix movie and for making Blade the character look good on film.

Blade Triple Feature

Alan Rapp / March 24, 2015 / Home Video

Title: Blade, Blade II, Blade: Trinity
wiki: link

Re-released in a new three-pack Triple Feature Blu-ray Wesley Snipes‘ Blade trilogy is far from the best comic book movies have to offer. Collecting Blade, Blade II, and Blade: Trinity, the set has one good movie, one mediocre flick, and one so awful it might as well be an Underworld movie. Each comes with its original special features including commentaries for each film and assorted featurettes and trailers.

Snipes is fine as a human/vampire half-breed based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name. The first film, other than introducing the world and its core characters, is largely forgettable. Blade II, involving the hero teaming with a group of vampires (most notably Leonor Varela and Ron Perlman) to take on a new deadly version of vampires known as reapers, is the only one that holds up to multiple viewings. As for the horrifically bad third film, introducing Ryan Reynolds and Jessica Biel as vampire hunters and Dominic Purcell as the most ridiculous version of Dracula ever, the less said the better.
