Blade Triple FeatureRe-released in a new three-pack Triple Feature Blu-ray Wesley Snipes‘ Blade trilogy is far from the best comic book movies have to offer. Collecting Blade, Blade II, and Blade: Trinity, the set has one good movie, one mediocre flick, and one so awful it might as well be an Underworld movie. Each comes with its original special features including commentaries for each film and assorted featurettes and trailers.

Snipes is fine as a human/vampire half-breed based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name. The first film, other than introducing the world and its core characters, is largely forgettable. Blade II, involving the hero teaming with a group of vampires (most notably Leonor Varela and Ron Perlman) to take on a new deadly version of vampires known as reapers, is the only one that holds up to multiple viewings. As for the horrifically bad third film, introducing Ryan Reynolds and Jessica Biel as vampire hunters and Dominic Purcell as the most ridiculous version of Dracula ever, the less said the better.

The Blacklist - Luther Braxton: Conclusion

With Luther Braxton (Ron Perlman) escaping the CIA black site with Lizzie (Megan Boone) who he now realizes is the key to finding the Fulcrum, Reddington (James Spader) goes on the warpath to bring Lizzie home. As expected, the conclusion of the two-part episode offers us some insight into Lizzie’s past but (as the doctor forced to perform the dangerous memory therapy on her states) much of what she remembered may actually be wrong leaving us right back where we started.

The Blacklist - Luther Braxton

The Blacklist‘s mid-season premiere begins with the public arrest of Reddington (James Spader) and his detention in a secret CIA black site. Far from being taken unaware, Red knows exactly what he’s doing although the arrival of Lizzie (Megan Boone), Ressler (Diego Klattenhoff), and Navabi (Mozhan Marnò) throws some unexpected obstacles in his way of preventing a prison break by his old rival Luther Braxton (Ron Perlman) who uses the situation to go hunting for the infamous Fulcrum.

The Flashpoint Paradox

  • Title: Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox
  • IMDB: link

The Flashpoint ParadoxAlternate reality stories are nothing new in comics. Although not originally designed for that purpose, Flashpoint became a major storyline in DC Comics to help the publisher transition from the established DCU continuity to that of their New 52 reboot. Spanning more than 75 issues the story centered around the Flash finding himself trapped in a darker version of the world he knew with heroes similar, yet different, from those he called friends, and a war between Atlantis and Themyscira threatening to destroy the Earth.

The results of Flashpoint were mixed at best and I certainly wasn’t expecting much when I heard DC had chosen the project for their latest straight-to-DVD feature. So imagine my surprise when I discovered that Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox is actually pretty good and arguably the best animated feature the company has put out over the last couple of years since Batman: Under the Red Hood.
