Gillette Tri-Nations (Box Set)

Advantages: plenty of action
Disadvantages: bit gory at times

...Main characters in this are played by stephen Dorff and Wesley Snipes. Snipes is his usual ersatz Arnold Schwarzenegger. Standing about looking tough and trying to vanquish foes stylishly and with little movement, if possible. I suppose he modelled himself on Steed in the Avengers (the series that is, not the film). So what's it about? Snipes is the eponymous Blade and he is attempting to stave off becoming a vampire by taking a serum manufactured by his mentor (played by Kris Kristofferson). In the meantime he is trying to rid the world of said vampires. Apparently they are everywhere and where they are not they have people working for them. These apostles have a brand to indicate their owner. Stephen Dorff is an ambitious vampire, he wants to move the game forward, conquer new markets etc. This brings him into conflict... Read review

Advantages: Feel-good movie, not just for dance fans
Disadvantages: No major ones.

...'t socialize with students and that if he was coming to class to get with her he was mistaken. Taken aback, John decides to stop going, but then realises that he enjoys dancing and the company of his friends that he has made there. The film continues on with some excellent dance scenes, some comedy 'buddy' scenes and the friendship grows with Paulina, who realises she misjudged John. Meanwhile, Beverley thinks her husband maybe having an affair and hires a private detective… The cast are all good; although Sarandon and Tucci are under used for their talents they give great performances. Lopez is acceptable, but is not as big a role as I imagined, she is not challenged.
