""Blade" is not your typical comic books superhero movie. It is a lot more bloody, the hero is more an anti-hero, and it deals with supernatural villains -- the vampires. The vampires are making a comeback in an unnamed modern city. They control the police and one of the biggest blood banks within city limits. They roam the streets at night searching for human blood. You can't tell them apart from humans, unless you are a fellow bloodsucker -- or a vampire hunter. Two of the best vampire hunters are "Abraham Whistler" (Kris Kristofferson) and his part-vampire, "Blade" (Wesley Snipes). The two have a father-son type relationship, with "Whistler", as he is most commonly called, making the vampire-killing weapons, and "Blade" hunting down and killing the vampires. The two declared war on the vampires, and will continue the fight for as long as needed. Joining them is "Dr. Karen Jenson" (N'Bushe Wright), whom "Blade" saved from a vampire who, unfortunately, bit her before "Blade" made t ... "

"I make no claims to having inside information or being a film historian. I want to mention this upfront in case some reads this post and thinks, "this fool is completely wrong." The small purpose of this post is to say a word or two about a film that, if memory serves me correctly, is largely responsible for the comic book movies being made today. Yesterday I found myself in a very familiar mood. I wanted to watch a movie that was fun, action-packed and fairly violent. I find these movies to be particularly rewarding after I have been taxing my brain a bit. So since the instant viewing of Netflix is not yet what it should be I was forced to venture to Blockbuster and do the nasty. Only I had to settle for a lesser nasty because the one I wanted was not there. I came home with Blade 3 which I just discovered Spout does not have a link for. This should tell you everything you need to know. I had wanted to rent Blade 2 but apparently their one copy was lost or stolen and the store see ... "

"Wes Craven will present footage from his upcoming 25/8, and director David Boyer will unveil details on The Unborn. 1:59 - They just showed us some “world exclusive footage” from the movie, and they’re bringing David Goyer and the cast out now. Horror ain’t my thang, but hey… this has Gary Oldman in it, who I’ll watch in just about anything. 1:56 - Next up is David Goyer, who co-wrote Batman Begins and The Dark Knight had a huge hand in the Blade trilogy. 1:55 - Last question for Craven: “Will there be any social commentary in this movie?” Craven: “Well… no. I suppose you could say part of the inspiration for this could be ‘the sins of the father are passed on to the son,’ but that’s not really true. I mean, my own father died when I was four, so most of my life was spent trying to figure out who he was. This was a very personal film for me… not that my father was a mass murderer.” 1:54 - Not being a hardcore Craven fan, it’s really hard to stay nailed to "

"This blog entry is part of my “movie year countdown”. To read more about that check out my first Spout filmblog entry.El Espinazo del diablo (The Devil's Backbone)When I first saw television ads for Hellboy, I remember thinking it looked like the absolute worst of the latest trend of rehashed movies based on comic books. I hadn't even heard of this one, and it sounded about as generic and stupid a possible. Don't ask me why I ended up watching it. I worked at a video store at the time and was able to take home new releases for free before the release date. I don't know why I took that movie home and stuck it in my DVD player. But I did and it was fantastic. Probably the fact that I hadn't heard of it before was for the best. It was cool and fun and clever and funny. Better than Spider-man, X-Men, Superman Returns, or even everyone's beloved Batman Begins< "

"This review's title is a description of my reaction to this movie. After seeing Blade, I now have to fight the urge to describe most other movie-productions in 'degrees-of-Blade' (since I wish to call myself a writer, I need to fight most of my convenience-urges!).First, there's its source-material: It's based on a comic book, so it's instantly attractive. The comic-book itself was based upon the storied history of vampirism, which is fascinating. It's a combination of the old and the new, the ancient and the futuristic ... which brings me to my main point.The main antagonist was a vampire who was using a computer to translate the ancient texts of The Book of Erebus ("The Vampire Bible"). That made me think of a couple 'lessons to be learned' there ... from a couple of the ways the antagonist could have lost.It made me think of the Christians' interpretation of Biblical text (mostly the atheists' interpretation, which is guided ...
