I watched Ghost World with an honest hope for a good, funny teen movie. I will admit that it is a different sort of teen movie but I didn't find it all that funny. Thora Birch's Enid is quirky and full of teen angst but not that humorous. The rest of the caste all seem more sad than funny. I really liked the actor who played Enid's father, sorry forgot his name. He actually has a couple of the more laughable scenes. I also like the weird guy with the num-chucks who always seems to be at the "7-11" type corner store.

I won't say it was a bad movie but I found it slightly disappointing.

Okay, let me begin by saying that the movie has no serious redeeming features nor does it try to produce anything other than laughs. I actually saw the movie twice because there are several jokes hidden in the background that I missed the first time. Definitely one of the best funny movies in a few years.

Great movie. The story was completely believable and melds well with the original. Blade II basically begins with Blade searching for Whistler, missing for two years. He succeeds in finding him but there are hints of a lack of trust between the two. In the meantime a new threat has appeared in the form of "mutated vampires". The leader of this new group, named Reapers, and his minions are bent on destroying all normal vampires. Blade is asked to lead an elite vampire commando team to track down and eliminate this new threat. Things take off from there with no one sure who they can trust.

The Reapers are bad, they are a definite step ahead of normal vampires and the scenes where they are involved are the best. I thought the action was fast and furious without being over the top. I mean they are vampires after all. Some of the fight scenes are wholly computer generated and they suffer. However, there are only a few brief moments of this and the rest of the action makes up for it.

A good follow-up to the original.
