BloodRayne

BloodRayne the video game becomes BloodRayne the movie. The trailer looks promising even if the film synopsis reads like a pitch to a non-video game playing/non-movie going executive.

BloodRayne is a genre all to itself. It is packed with action, but it's not an action film per se. It is a mighty adventure, but it's not a pure adventure film. There are mythical and immmortal creatures of great power and evil, but it's not a typical vampire movie.

Well, that clears that up. Except for the typical vampire movie bit: any film featuring Udo Kier and Meatloaf is a typical vampire movie.

Meat
Loaf?
So, now his first name is Meat and his last name is Loaf? LOL...

Hmmm, I'm staring at those weapons and wondering how effective they might be... I suspect not very. You'd be too likely to slice yourself with that hook in the heat of battle.

Well lets hope the movie is better than the game. The game was pretty much rubbish. I have not played BRII however.

It's currently #37 on IMDb's Bottom 100. Better than "Gigli" but worse than "Baby Geniuses".
