It’s an Uwe Boll trifecta! BloodRayne, a film about a half-human, half-vampire (Terminator 3‘s Kristanna Loken) out to kill her father (Ben Kingsley, in one of his “I’ve already got an Oscar, screw it” performances), this video game adaptation actually makes one feel sorry for Michael Madsen. The man’s not made for period pieces outside of grimy ’70s cop movies. Neither is Michelle Rodriguez, for that matter. Seriously, where was the casting director on this one?
BloodRayne 2 (yes, they somehow made another) went straight to DVD, though its premise—vampires in the Wild West—is much cooler than this Castlevania ripoff.
Speaking of, when are they going to make a Castlevania movie? We’d be all over that.
It says something about the three Resident Evil films (this being the second) that the most frightening property in video games could not produce a single even halfway scary film.
Why pick on Resident Evil: Apocalypse and not one of the other two films? Because, like any sequel, it’s an enabler. Like the friend who says, “Sure, I’ll have a few brews with my alcoholic pal. Why not?,” sequels to bad movies just enable further sequels to be considered. With poorly choreographed fight scenes and unapologetically non-frightening zombies, RE: A is B-A-D.
It’s Fashion Week in New York City and Manhattan is crawling with eccentric designers, stylish socialites and hungry models looking for next season’s big trend. It seems that our invitation to Marc Jacobs’ show got lost in the mail, so to console ourselves we’ve put together a stylish Spotify playlist.
