Blade: Trinity

I bought this portable DVD player a couple weeks ago, and finally got to use it on a train trip back from DC yesterday. So the first movie I watched (beyond a short film I made) was Blade: Trinity, the movie that will most likely be the last in the Blade films. Wesley Snipes once again stars as the titular hero, this time bringing Ryan Reynolds and Jessica Biel along for the ride. It seems people don't believe Blade is a vampire hunter; they think he's just killing people for fun. So the police and FBI are after him. Then it turns out Dracula is back from the great beyond and looking to get rid of the vampire hunter. Guess who wins?

The best part of the movie was Ryan Reynolds, who brings his quirky comedic touch to an otherwise normal vampire film. Although now that I think about it, the fact that the bad guys were vampires didn't have much to do with anything. Anyhoo, Reynolds cracks jokes left and right and it made me laugh. Although the best line in the film came from the little girl who said something like 'My friends are gonna kick your ass' to Dracula. Who wouldn't love to say that to Dracula?

The movie wasn't great, but it wasn't bad. It was good mindless entertainment that passed two hours of a train ride. If you travel a lot, I highly suggest you buy a portable DVD player. They kick ass.
