Blade II (2002): ***



After the events of Blade, Blade (Wesley Snipes) has set up his base in Prague to hunt vampires and retrieve his mentor Whistler (Kris Kristofferson). It is good timing as Blade, Whistler and Blade’s new technogeek Scud (Norman Reedus) are asked for help by vampire Overlord Eli Damaskinos (Thomas Kretschmann). There is a new strain of vampire on the loose called Reapers, feeding on humans and vampires alike, stronger than the common vampire. Blade goes on a mission to eliminate the Reapers, aided by Damaskinos’s daughter Nyssa (Leonor Varela) and the Bloodpack, a group of lethal vampires originally trained to kill Blade. Blade must watch his back whilst hunting down the Reapers and their creator Jared Nomak (Luke Goss).

The Jacket (2005): **



The Jacket is far more concerned with its stylistic choices than what it is all about, which the film itself seems unsure of. The Jacket follows Jack Starks (Adrien Brody), an ex-soldier suffering from amnesia, caused by a shot to the head. After a series of incidents, Starks ends up accused of murdering a cop and is committed to the mental institution Alpine Grove. Physician Dr. Becker (Kris Kristofferson) subjects Starks to a controversial course of drugs, restraints and is locked in a drawer of a morgue cabinet. Jack Starks appears to travel to the future, where he meets a woman called Jackie (Keira Knightley). Starks discovers he is going to die in four days, unless they can figure out a way to save him.
