Part 1: This Week's Releases on Video/DVD

by Ivana Redwine

The most anticipated video/DVD release slated for September 3, 2002, is "Blade II" starring Wesley Snipes, but be sure to take a look at the additional releases of interest and at next week's movies on video/DVD.


"Blade II" (2002) - New Line Platinum Series

DVD  Cover





 

Tagline: "Know the mark."

Length: 116 minutes
MPAA Rating: R for strong pervasive violence, language, some drug use and sexual content


Wesley Snipes plays the title role in this vampire film, which is a sequel to the 1998 movie “Blade.” Blade is half-human, half-vampire and was molded by his human mentor Whistler (Kris Kristofferson) into a vampire killer. In “Blade II” a mutant strain of extraordinarily powerful vampires called Reapers has emerged, and Reapers feed on both humans and ordinary vampires. If left unchecked, the Reapers will wipe out both the human race and the race of ordinary vampires. Blade and Whistler enter into an uneasy alliance with the Bloodpack, an elite group of ordinary vampires led by Reinhardt (Ron Perlman), to combat the Reapers. “Blade II” contains its share of violent action sequences, but what sets the movie apart from others are its imaginative grotesque horror scenes.
