Blade II (2002)

I'm a Supervamp
It's based on a comic book and revels in that history. It has more grotesque scenes than in all of George Romero's zombie classics combined, which is why it is a hit with horror fans. One of the redeeming factors is it's fight scenes. Don't take my word for it. The fight scenes in this movie are better than Green Goblin vs. Spiderman or Gangs of New York, both which lost to it in the awards chase.
Blade (Wesley Snipes, who is so chiseled that his six-pack abs look stocked with 16-ounce cans) and the Bloodpack are on the trail of of super-vampires, led by Nomak (Luke Goss). These über living dead are pasty, rheumy-eyed monsters whose chins are laced up with seam-like scars. When they eat, their chins open like maws, revealing spiky tongues to do more damage. These guys aren't bothered by silver bullets or garlic.
Hey! Who does vampire tats? And, why are the vampires in these movies like Versace-ridden Eurotrash you see dwelling in the most perilous areas of nightclubs.
Music by Gorrilaz, Mos Def and Ice Cube add to the dark ambiance of the movie.

| Man, I really hate the BLADE movies. It's mainly because I'm a huge vampire novel fan and I can tell you who rips off ideas from who. This comic has shades of different writers all over it and Snipes is also just such a smug bastard. I was Willie Mayes Hayes back! |

| I used to have a major crush on Luke Goss back in the 80's when he was in the boy band Bros. |
