movie review - Blade

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Toronto, 1998.10.23

I wasn't expecting much from this vampire flick but I was happily surprised. Sharply written, well acted, with great sets and a sufficiently tongue-in-cheek tone, this is a literally action-packed piece that doesn't dispense with ideas or characters to keep up the pace.

Strongly recommended.

I'm constantly amazed at how difficult it is to break free of the straitjacket of the immediately urgent.
