The weekly, 60-minute Blade: The Series was inspired by the popular Blade action-movie trilogy, which in turn was based on a Marvel Comics character introduced in the 1970s. Rap star Sticky Fingaz, billed under his (sort of) real name, Kirk "Sticky" Jones, starred as Blade, a half-human, half-vampire immortal warrior engaged in an endless battle against demonic and supernatural villains on behalf of humanity (Wesley Snipes was, of course, seen as Blade in the original films). Neil Jackson co-starred as Blade's perennial nemesis, Marcus Van Sciver, a handsome, charismatic vampire bent on world domination, while Nelson Lee was seen as Blade's weapons-savvy, wise-ass sidekick, Shen. New to the franchise was the character of Krista Starr (Jill Wagner), who teamed up with Blade to avenge her twin brother's death at the hands of Marcus Van Sciver, who in addition to his nocturnal bloodsucking also held court over a well-organized cartel of fellow vampires. Boasting a pilot scripted by executive producer David S. Goyer and comic-book veteran Geoff Johns, Blade: The Series premiered June 28, 2006, as the first scripted live-action series on cable's Spike TV channel. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Blurred: 2002

Clinging to their youthful recklessness before hurdling headlong into the dreaded world of adulthood responsibility, the graduating high school class of 70,000 head to the Gold Coast to live it up at the Australian phenomenon known as Schoolies and party themselves into oblivion. Whether by train, bus, car or limo, Blurred just goes to show that getting there is half the fun as a variety of characters experience the youthful rush of youthful abandon. Set to a frenetic pace and taking on the madness of Schoolies for the first time, director Evan Clary's freshman effort offers a rare glimpse into the wild world of Australia's equivalent to America's spring break antics. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
