SHAFT: Trinity?
Journal Entry: Fri May 13, 2005, 8:09 AM
Alright, so can we talk about how wesley snipes was "ultra cool" in Blade: Trinity?? I thought i was watching Shaft, having given up his detective career, to become a blood-sucking pimp. it was entertaining -- a great film: by no means. However, well worth the viewing as it was comical and frenetic...in other words, perfect for what it was: a comic book movie (not quite spiderman...a glossier ARMY OF DARKNESS rather)
really, at some points i thought i was watching a Blaxploitation film. How will i ever forget gems such as:
- when Wesley leaps out the upper window of a skyscraper, lands on the street in front of his "posse," blade in hand, and says cooly, "I forgot ma' sword."
- when wesley confronts dracula (the antagonist):
DRACULA: Are you ready?
BLADE: I was BORN ready, Motha'Fucka'!!
(sword fight ensues, defying all laws of physics)
- (at any point in the film)
BLADE: You're not ready to Roll with This!
- (to an enfant that he rescues from the clutches of Dracula)
BLADE: Kootchie-Koo
THEN there was Ryan Reynolds who's been HYSTERICAL in everything I've ever seen him in. There wasn't ONE thing that he didn't say that wasn't witty, sarcastic or otherwise funny in some manner. However, my personal favorites were his double profanity exclamation at the sight of a vampire dog:
RYAN: What the Fuck?!.....WHAT THE FUCK?!!!
or the taunting of his vampire ex-girlfriend ("she has fangs in her vagina")
RYAN: ...you cock-juggling horse-cunt!!!!
and better yet, his nervous joke-making to Jessica Biel when he is wounded:
RYAN: What did one lesbian vampire say to the other? See you in 28 days.
Of course, there was my fiancee, jessica biel (i've proposed...she said she'd get back to me) who didn't do much else other than look pretty. her character's personality was all together bland...but she did have a semi nude shower scene. Somehow, it evens out.
Finally, the creepiest exchange in cinematic history took place between Dracula and the grade school girl he kidnapped:
DRACULA: Tell me, Little Girl,...do you want to die? (resonating with the deliberate delivery of a Shakespearian actor)
LITTLE GIRL: (in hushed whisper, wide eyes, mona lisa-esque smile) My friends are going to kill you.
That's my review. check it out -- you can't NOT laugh at this winner!
