Following his latest blockbuster Blade, Stephen Dorff once again gained another success to name. Here, you can get to know more about his character and cast in that movie. First, see if you'll like to get a review of that movie.
1. Blade, a silly, pumped-up techno-thriller in which Snipes spends 24-7 slaying vampires, is full of helpful tips on how best to battle what the movie calls nocturnus humanis. Give vampires a whiff of garlic and you send 'em into anabolic shock. Flashing a cross is pish-posh, but silver stakes are worth their cost in gold. To blow a vampire away forever, fill hollow-point bullets with garlic and aim for heads and hearts. Who says movies can't be educational?
If you have no pressing need to eliminate the undead, there's little else to be gained by seeing Blade, which is based on a Marvel Comics superhero. As the title character, Snipes, decked out in leather, shades and a scowl, does some nifty martial arts work, but he's not really stretching his acting muscles. Dorff, all attitude and messy hair, snarls through his role as a megalomaniacal vampire ("Tonight, mankind comes to an end!"). (R)
2. A half-human/half-vampire who has dedicated his existence to slaying the undead attempts to stop a bunch of upstart bloodsuckers from taking over the world.
Pitch: Buffy the Vampire Slayer + The Lost Boys, with some Blacula attitude
Pedigree: The movie is based on Marvel Comics' Blade, a spinoff of Marvel's Tomb of Dracula.
Audience: Gorehounds and comic geeks.
Verdict: Maybe you weren't aware of it, but an ancient human/vampire treaty has permitted an underground gang of aristocratic bloodsuckers to control banks, real estate and law enforcement agencies. At least, that's what Blade, the movie, would have you believe. And now, the vampires are revolting. A bunch of photogenic young night dwellers led by a dissolute young punk called Deacon Frost (Stephen Dorff) wants to reverse the natural order, rise from the underground and enslave humanity. But in order for his plan to succeed, Frost has to sacrifice the mythical "daywalker," Blade (Wesley Snipes), a vampire half-breed who can stroll in the light without crumbling into dust, exploding into a ball of flames or whatever, and who also tends to slice, shoot, chop, kick, gouge and blow up every full-blooded vampire in his path. Can Frost succeed in annihilating Blade? And more disturbingly, can Blade stay alive now that his body has developed an immunity to the blood substitute that keeps his vampire side subordinate to his humanity?
Blade is rife with phony mythology, but director Stephen Norrington establishes a rattling pace from the get-go and never lets the intricacies of the subplots get in the way of the carnage. With his bulging bod, lumbering gait and whispery monotone, Snipes is more action figure than action hero. Fortunately, the scenes in which he expresses the existential agony of being a cross-species are outnumbered by the ultra violent scenes in which he's snapping vampire necks and painting the screen red.
Background: Snipes co-choreographed all his fight scenes. He's developing a film inspired by the comic-book superhero Black Panther in which he will also star.
3. In Blade The Vampire Slayer, Wesley Snipes plays a vampire predator despite of his own unpure blood. To be on the contrast, Snipes are the main lead in the action and Dorff is just a co-star. However, Dorff plays Deacon Frost with his fantastic acting experience and grab the attention of viewers from the boring Blade. A highly streetwise Vampire lead, Frost stikes his route through the human world upon termination to our species. His undeadly horror was being reduced with parts of his humour in the movie. Being compared to the latest upcoming show Vampires, Blade is still the preferred choice, because Dorff actually carved out the actual look of Vampires - sexy.
Something funny to discover, fans actually craved to become vamps after watching the show, and it's real something nuts. Whether or not, this show has reached its highest showing status in many countries. Though we like Stephen a lot, it is still a relief that Wesley wiped him out in the movie...
