Blade Trinity

Blade: Trinity

by

I just got finished watching Blade: Trinity. While I’m certainly not going to make any claims about it being a good movie, it ended up being far more entertaining than I expected it to be (and probably more than it had any real right to be).

I can chalk this up to two simple things:

  1. Parker Posey as a vampire. Parker’s long been one of my favorite actresses, inevitably taking oddball roles in quirky movies and absolutely going to town with them. She’s always a joy to watch, and this was certainly no exception.

  2. ‘Pac-Man’, the vampire pomeranian. Hands-down, one of the most bizarrely funny things I’d seen in a long time.

From here on out, I think every movie should have a vampire pom in it. I don’t really care if it makes sense, or fits into the film at all. I just want more vampire pomeranians in my movies.

I’d been iffy on whether I wanted to bother, but this pre-release review of Blade Trinity just put it on my “must see” list:

I attended a free sneek preview of Blade Trinity this evening at Pacific Place…. I expected very little from this movie and I received my expectations in abundance.

Pluses:
– Parker Posey as a vampire
– Ryan Reynolds mostly naked
– visual effects

Negatives:
– plot
– dialog
– editing
– direction
– poor action scenes
– Kris Kristofferson
– cliche footage of the city moving at 20x normal speed
– unintentional comedy
– excessive product placement (iPods)
– lame pop cultural references
– vampiric pomeranian (really!)
– “Dracula” err, I mean “DRAKE” groan

Parker Posey is always fun to watch, and a vampire kick-me dog?!? Oh, this I’ve gotta see!

(Maybe not until it hits video…but then, I’ve occasionally paid for worse in the theaters…)
