Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Blade (1998)

Not bad, really. Though the effects translated poorly to TV, this was a solid action/thriller. It bordered on campiness at times -- I thought it would have been a better choice to go ahead and EMBRACE the camp. It almost took itself too seriously at times, and that ruined what could have been truly fun.

That big climax with the blood god took too long to set up and the pay off wasn't worth it (although Frost reassembling a'la T2, but with blood rather than liquid metal was hellacool). And , in “The Grifters,” Mom sexually approaching son was desperate, sad, and disgusting... here, it's just disgusting.
