Blade: Trinity wins my award for best bad movie of the year. A terrible movie by all accounts, but I kind of enjoyed it nonetheless.

It’s so bad, as a film, that I have already forgotten what it was all about. All I know that Blade (Wesley Snipes) joins up with the Nighstalkers, a group of young vampire hunters who have nothing in similar with the comic book except their name, and they all set out to destroy all the vampires by way of killing the grand daddy of them all – Dracula (Dominic Purcell), who has just been resurrected.

There’s a lot of fight scenes, some of which aren’t too bad, but nothing going on in the film in terms of substance. Dracula, by the way, bears little to no resemblance to Bram Stoker’s creation, by the way, although he does refer to Stoker’s book as a fairy tale. The joke's on them – Blade: Trinity has just become the 100th film to shred a great novel through its dim-witted representation.

As it turns out, there are only two reasons to watch this movie. One is Parker Posey, who plays the leader of the bad guys (besides Dracula). Her character is way over the top and perpetually pissed off. I’m afraid I could think of nothing but her very similar character in Best in Show, and could not help but laugh every single time she was on the screen.

Just as funny is Ryan Reynolds, who plays one of the Nightstalkers who have come to help Blade. The guy gets line after line and delivers them all just right. He couldn’t say a single thing that wasn’t funny throughout the entire movie.

Though the film is in no way a comedy, it’s gotten more laughs from me than any other film of its genre. Lest we get too levitous, Wesley Snipes reminds us that the situation is no laughing matter. His stark, stale depiction of Blade creates a character that’s no more interesting than the dog. Blade does everything he can to make himself look cool, but it’s a far cry from making this a cool movie.
