Interesting that you mentioned Aliens. I am far too familiar with Blade II. Everytime I was asked how I liked it I replied that it is not terrible, but it could have done much better. Aliens had tension and suspense. You knew something awful was going to happen, but they made you listen to the water drip and watch the shadows and rotating lights quite a while before it happened. In Blade II they opted for almost instantaneous gruesome death. Way Way Way too graphic. Every chance to delay and tease was passed by and ignored. I remember a fella named Hitchcock who could have you jump out of your seat with a close up of a ringing telephone. Blade II is just another of the far to common films where severed heads, and blood splattering is ho hum. I like you skipped the Oscars, the worlds longest flashiest infomercial.

Hi,
watched it on tv a couple months ago, it ended at midnite; but it took a couple of hours to settle down enough to sleep. I agree completely with your thought, combine solid movie making with efx, and ....wow.

I watched the classic Columbo episode "A Friend In Deed"--with Richard Kiley as the corrupt deputy police commissioner--on LD on my Pioneer HLD-X9. The picture quality was extremely good, and this was surely a better use of my time than watching the wretched Oscars.
