This year I didn't, because I finally get Boll. He is not trying to be Spielberg, or Howard or anyone. He is just trying to have a good time and make some movies.
BloodRayne though really has a lot going for it on paper. Hot half-vampire Rayne who is a little bit of everything (she's half-vampire, half-human, ambidextrous, bisexual) is fun to watch. You have Nazi's as the big bad, and really watching them die never, ever gets old. And unlike the first two movies, this one is somewhat closer to the video game.
Don't go into this expecting high entertainment. This is B-Movie all the way. But it is fun. The plot holds together surprisingly well. Michael Pare chews up scenes all over the place and Natassia Malthe still can't act to save her life, but that is fine.
It has all the right elements of a horror or action movie and I will say this. I doubt a "better" director would have done better on this. Sometimes you get steak, sometimes you get cheeseburgers and sometime you get a slider. This is a slider, don't pretend it is steak. That is OK. Sometimes a couple of sliders is exactly what you need.
I enjoyed this movie quite a bit to be honest.
Tally: Watched 33, New 24
I am going to go back over all the other participants (next month) and see what they watched.
What are you watching?
I don't watch many horror movies, but I do enjoy action and/or comedies with horror elements. I recommend 'Suck' - Vampires + Rock & Roll. Two flavours that were made for each other.
