The Legendary Blade

The soul of a human. The heart of a hero."

Sticky Fingaz,as "Blade", a half-human and vampire warrior responsible for the battle against demonic and supernatural villains. he was known for his expertise in using samurai sword to killed vampires.

Blade was accompanied by Nelson Lee as "Shen", Blade's weapon savvy and known for his wise-ass sidekick.

Jessica Gower as "Chase", known for her loyalty to her team.

Neil Jackson as Marcus Van Sciver, charismatic vampire bent on world domination, Together, they battle to defeat the House of Chthon, one of the most powerful houses where vampires and "familiars" (humans who wish to be vampires) live. They were led by the vampire overlord Marcus, the mission of this evil group is to create a vaccine that will give rise to a new breed of super vampires, immune to vampire weaknesses. Blade and his team will do everything they can to win this war and save humanity before it’s too late."
Blade proves its success in both tv series and movie theater. With it's interesting take on the vampire genre and bringing the classic lore of the vampire into the new millennium and mixed with modern technology to give some degree of scientific credibility with lots of action, great effects, fights and blood. Blade is truly one of the best comic book adaptations and if you have fun in watching Blade, i'm sure that you might also enjoy Buffy the Vampire Slayer who also hunt down evil residents of the underworld.

Great Love Story of Rachel McAdams & Ryan Gosling

The Notebook is one of the most popular romantic film ever starring Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams. It was actually based on American romantic novel by Nicholas Sparks.
The story is all about an old man named Noah, reading a story to an old woman which is her wife, in a nursing home. The Notebook is basically the journal that Noah kept recorded everything that happened with Allie & him that he was reading it to her the whole time. It tells about their lives together. Noah is so desperate for Allie not to forget her life, that he sits by her bed from dawn to dusk reading over and over the same notebook everyday. He is showing through this, how precious life, and how forgetting it would be a tragedy. This movie emphasizes true love and how it truly affects one's life. Though it is made with simplicity but with an impact that is so strong to make its viewers enjoy watching, wishing and wanting for more to find out what really happen to the characters in end.
I also read the novel and I idolize Nicholas so much. The way he writes his stories with perfect understanding of his characters, perfect choice of scenes that make the stories and characters seem real. He sends a strong message of faith love & understanding. All novels affect the genre of the story. Are you familiar with the movie, A Walk to Remember? It was actually based on novel and Nicholas Sparks was also the one who wrote that novel. He writes his novel with all the passion and emotions that exists in real life stories.
Truly, this film is an eye opener for us to discover what true love is and made us realize that despite the challenges we face on a daily basis, there are things in life that make the experience truly worth it.

The Holiday Movie Review : Cameron Diaz & Kate Winslet
Hopeless romantics or perhaps anyone with a broken and aching heart could watch this film for a lift. Actually I'm really fond of feel-good romantic movies, that is why i appreciate this film for its funny and aww-inspiring (not really"awe") romantic lines.
Iris (Kate Winslet) hears the heart-wrenching wedding proposal of her long-time crush Jasper ( Rufus Sewell) to his fiancée, she goes home, bawls her heart out and becomes miserable. On the other hand, Amanda (Cameron Diaz) is quite the opposite. Her inability to cry despite her very recent break-up with her boyfriend poses a big problem for her. Her tear ducts wouldn't just produce a single drop of tear. The only solution to their problem is to go on a holiday vacation to a far place where nothing would remind them of their woes.
With the aid of the Internet and a website called "Home Exchange", these two women, who have never met each other, decides to swap houses over the holiday. Iris flees to California then takes a cab to the lavish mansion of Amanda while Amanda flies to England and pads the snowy path to the cramped country house of Iris. Soon enough, iris meets miles( jack Black), Amanda's colleague while Amanda bumps into Graham (Jude Law), Iris debonair brother. From there, the romance between each pair develops.
Even then, the movie is not without flaws. My major gripe is that the story of Iris and miles isn't well fleshed out. The two just lack the chemistry and the conclusion of their story is a bit contrived for me. Every time they're on screen, i am eagerly waiting for the spark between them to happen but it doesn't. Amanda and Graham's romance is also the typical, cheesy love affair which contributes nothing novel to the genre. I also expected that Jack Black would greatly contribute to the humor of the film but alas, it is a romantic film after all which didn't give him the venue to make a crack and be downright comical.
But somehow it's a good pick me up movie that gives anyone with a heavy heart that warm and fuzzy feeling but it doesn't really have any memorable lingering or award winning value.

Back to Back Action : The Ultimate Spy Adventure Action
of electrifying action,
adventure and excitement.
Expect The Impossible "
Looking for some great spy adventure action? Something which is unique, full of excitement and challenging missions, armed with the latest in high-tech tools. The ultimate mission collection: The Mission Impossible. Remember this complete action series which recall your boyhood spy fantasies. Mission Impossible or originally known as Impossible Mission Taskforce (IMF), a team of government spies and specialists set out to do impossible missions. These secret agent assigned to defeat the combat dictators, evil organizations, and crime lords. Each episode began with the team leader receiving a secret, pre-recorded message containing his mission. Each message would then self-destruct, usually by spontaneous combustion in order not to be traced.

This adventure, drama, thriller and action packed series was originally created by Bruce Geller. This tv show was premiered on September 17, 1966 and last aired on March 30, 1973. This Impossible Mission TaskForce was composed of various members with different roles:
Peter Graves as The team leader, Barbara Bain as the Model and all around talented female agent, Greg Morris as the Technical Expert, Peter Lupus as the Muscle-Bound and Martin Landau as the Master of Disguise. Jim and his team of agents would always jump into action with an elaborate and intricate plan.
This show was known for it's trademark. A destructing recording tape laying out their team's next mission. "Your mission, Jim, should you decide to accept it, is... As usual, should you or any member of your I.M. Force be captured or killed, the secretary will disavow any knowledge of your existence. This tape will self-destruct in five seconds. Good luck, Jim."
1996

As Mission Impossible series became popular and leave a big impact on the genre and on popular culture, Brian de Palma was inspired and introduced this show into the world of movie theater. He take the risk and became successful in adopting this tv series for the fact that some of tv-film adaptation are mostly failed. I think de Palma has definitely some kind of magic to create a movie with the amount of tension enough to catch viewers attention and salutes his great talents.
The movie was starred by Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt, member of an elite CIA intelligence task force. He was given an order to investigate the man in Prague who attempts to steal the list of all the secret agents in Europe. Since Ethan was the only one who survive with the operation, he was charged for the deaths of his fellow agents. To prove that he was innocent, Hunt set up another team to look for the real traitor. This movie is full of twist and turns that made its viewers enjoy watching, wishing and wanting for more to find out what really happen to the characters in end.

Since this 1996 Mission Impossible became hit in field of movie theater, John Woo decided to direct and create a sequel of Mission Impossible and it was starred again by Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt. The story is all about the destructive "chimeric" virus in Sydney, Australia. This virus has the power to kill millions and destroy the whole country. So Ethan and his team are responsible to get this virus before it falls to Sean Ambrose, a former MIF and traitor who planned to steal the bio- engineered virus. I think this movie was known for incredible motorcycle stunts. John Woo did not adopt any thing from De Palma's movie. He created and used his own vision of what action film should be like. Woo is more modern and known for his slow motion shots, lots of fight and chase scenes, shoot-outs, explosions and extravagant stunt.

Richie Rich: The Poor Little Rich Boy

This show make us realize that money isn't everything, that money cannot buy happiness. Some people praise material things, and for them, that is where happiness lies. To these people, money does bring happiness. But honestly speaking most of the time we found our self unhappy in the end of our life. Why? Because we do not understand the true cause or meaning of happiness. True happiness is composed of abstract things: family,friends, health, love, achievement and integrity. You can’t substitute material things for love or for gentleness or for tenderness or for a sense of comradeship.
There is a particular touching scenes in this show that i love most, when the thieves question Mr. Rich about the contents of his vault, an d then Mr. Rich says "baby shoes, bowling trophies and other family memorabilia. 'MONEY' is not what we treasure".The show teaches viewers that having a big heart is more important than having a big bank account.
