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.

The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, worry about the future, or anticipate troubles but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly.
