REVIEW: Blade II (2002) |
|
Directed by Guillermo Del Toro. Written by David S. Goyer. Starring Wesley Snipes, Kris Kristofferson, Norman Reedus, Leonor Varela, Ron Perlman, Luke Goss. Original music by Marco Beltrami. Running time: 115 mins. A toothless and anaemic addition to a seemingly never-ending list of crap vampire movies. <Read it all> |

Even though most people’s minds were on the Oscars, Blade II still managed to hit the top of the chart sucking in $33.1 million at the box office in its opening weekend, and just about ousting Ice Age which managed to stay strong in its second week of release, taking $31.1 million. <Read it all> |

OSCARS: The real winners |
|
|
Sure, the Oscars were good fun and all, but we did get a little bit bored during the three hundred hour ceremony. So bored, in fact, that we started giving out our own humble awards as the evening progressed. Here are the results. <Read it all> |

OSCARS: The return of designer stubble and other stuff |
|
|
We love the Oscars, but they do make us go a bit bonkers when we watch them. Maybe it’s something to do with the amount of beer we drink during the evening. Whatever, it’s good to see designer stubble is back in fashion… <Read it all> |

OSCARS: Blood on the (red) carpet |
|
|
At four hours and fifteen minutes, last night’s Oscar ceremony was the longest in the history of the awards. But, hey, it was almost worth it. The most disappointing part was the pre-ceremony garbage as the stars turned up and trawled down the red (burgundy if you ask us) carpet. We cracked open a few beers, kicked back, watched and made some notes. More questions were raised than were answered, but there you go. <Read it all> |
