Blade - Trinity

Description: Recognizing that they're powerless to stop vampire hunter Blade (Wesley Snipes), the vampires who rule the human race set up Blade to look like a serial killer, immediately prompting the FBI to go after him. But more trouble brews: Just as Blade realizes he's being pursued, Dracula (Dominic Purcell), the biggest bloodsucker of all time, is released, forcing Blade to enlist the help of a dream team of vampire killers known as the Nightstalkers.

My Promulgation: I have no idea there were three, and we watched all of them....jesus.

Blade II

Description: Blade (Wesley Snipes) is a half-vampire sworn to eradicating the bloodsuckers who lurk in the shadows. But when a new kind of bloodsucker -- the dread "reapers" -- is unleashed, the Vampire Nation asks Blade to help his longtime foes prevent a nightmare plague that would wipe out human and vampire alike. Directed by Guillermo Del Toro (Cronos, The Devil's Backbone), Blade II mixes high-tech action with crimson terror.

My Promulgation: I don't remember much about this movie, but it was OK.

Blade

Description: Half-vampire, half-human hybrid Wesley Snipes pursues the bloodsuckers who killed his mother and inflicted their everlasting curse upon him. But the vampires (who've infiltrated the highest echelons of big business) aren't finished with their favorite son. They need Blade's special blood to reincarnate La Magra, a voracious god who'll inaugurate a bloody new epoch between vampires and their human hosts.

My Promulgation: I vaguely remember this movie. It wasn't horrible, but it certainly didn't set my ass on fire. Hmm...Would that be a good thing, or a bad thing. Anyway, I didn't fall asleep and didn't turn it off, so it gets 3 starts.

The March of the Penguins

Description: Award-winning photographer Luc Jacquet takes documentary film to new heights -- and depths -- with his first feature film, a stunning insider's look at the life of the emperor penguin. The product of more than a year of filming in the brutal Antarctic ice, this official Sundance selection presents never-before-captured footage of the penguins' underwater life and explores their steadfast quest for monogamous mates.

My Promulgation: Excellent movie. I like penguins, I like documentaries. I like National Geographic. This had all three elements.

The North Face Expeditions: Madagascar and Great Trango Tower

Description: Great Trango: The 20,600-foot Great Trango-Tower has never been summited from its northwest face; climbers Alex Lowe, Jare Ogden, and Mark Synnott brave weather, exhaustion and rockfall to claim the prize of this mile-high first ascent. Madagascar: This is quickly becoming the destination spot for big-wall rock climbing. Here, world-renowned climber Lynn Hill and her all-star women's team attempt a new route. Features music from Sting.

My Promulgation: I like climbing, both mountain and rock. These were two great 1 hour length films about the difficulty to the summit.
