In a forest where any who die rise as zombies, an escaped convict does something something.

I got 1/3 in and got bored. It’s too over-the-top.

Blade meets other vampire hunters who are working against vampire plans to resurrect the progenitor vampire to try to make better vampires. Again.

A mediocre movie. For big fans of the first two, this is recommended. For people who found the first one okay and the second one merely passable, this can be safely skipped.

For fans of either of Jessica Biel or Ryan Reynolds, this is a look into their future movies.

  • Properly titled Blade: Trinity

Chinatown - (1974 movie) image

It is the 50s, and a Los Angeles private detective is swept up into intrigue when a job he takes goes sideways.

Meh. I can see how this would be interesting for someone who like gumshoe movies, but I don’t so I’m bored. It, throughout, seems like it’s trying too hard to be like an old black-and-white movie.

The Matrix Revolutions - (2003 movie) poster

With killer-machines digging down to bypass the defences of the last refuge of mankind, a man with sudden magic powers magics with his powers.

Oh god, make it end. The writing is so fucking sloppy that the second movie and this third movie should not be watched by anyone, most especially fans of the first movie.

Just like this poster, this movie has no brains.

The war against The Machines escalates, and it’s a race between them digging down to Zion and The One pushing his way into the core of The Matrix for reason that wasn’t explained very well.

If there are people out there who saw the first one and somehow get to this post before seeing this movie, please avoid this. Yes it’s more of the same and it’s “good”, but this is a shit story that should be skipped.

This movie does not have an ending. It is part one of a mandatory two-movie binge.

Le Samouraï - (1967 movie) image

A hitman is witnessed just after a job, and becoming a suspect pushes his employers put a hit out on him.

While I can imagine this being really cool at the time, it certainly isn’t any more. It has a slow moody atmosphere with a main character stiff enough to be a walking corpse. It’s also just shy of being a silent film.

I only finished watching it because of the similarity Ghost Dog – (1999 movie) has with it, because I like that movie.

Artificial intelligence is created but is somehow only used as a personal assistant.

Awkward and slow, and so lacking in intellectual merit as to make it far too weak a story. Science fiction chick flicks are fucking weak.
