So, this is a sign of the apocalypse right?

BloodRayne II: Deliverence
Starring: Natassia Malthe, Chris Coppola, Zack Ward and Michael Pare.
Summary: Rayne (Malthe), a half-human/half-vampire warrior, is humankind's only hope against the advancing vampire race.

On set Promo - View at own risk!

The good news is, Kristanna Loken is not starring in this.

That's it.

I would list all of the things that are horribly wrong with this project, but I don't have enough space for that and I think they are fairly self-evident, lol.

All I can say is that with the pretty, but utterly charismaless Malthe in the role of Rayne, the movie won't even be fucking horrible enough to make fun of like the first. I mean, Malthe managed to be boring as all hell in "D.O.A: Dead or Alive" one of the funniest, cheesiest movies to come out in the last couple of years. Basically a cross between "Charlie's Angel's", "Mortal Combat" and "Beach Blanket Bingo" starring Jamie Pressly, Sarah Carter, that Nika chick from Prison Break and Eric Roberts, it was non-stop ass-kicking females, scantily clad females, over the top action sequences (one of the chicks actually starts a fight topless, throws her bra up into the air, beats people up with her towel, lifts her arms and her bra falls magically in place allowing her to then hold the last guy up at gun point! Brilliant!), illogical beach volley ball games, lesbian innuendo and sword fights. In other words, utterly brilliant ... except for every scene with Malthe. Good lord, she sucks.

With Malthe in the lead BR II will just suck outright, and because there also seems to be no other major female castmembers, slashing the characters as the movie is on won't even be able to save us.

In conclusion, Uwe Boll continues to be an evil genius, Natassia Malthe sucks, and everyone should watch "D.O.A." because it is the bomb diggity.

After that build up I just had to watch D.O.A. and I agree, it's a lot of fun, in a cheesy, over the top fighting style kind of way. I really loved the scenes between Tina and her dad when he first thinks she's sleeping with Christie and then cheating on her with the princess. Very funny. I assume that Malthe played Helena, because she's the one totally yawn worthy character in the film - it was as if they ran out of personality by the time they wrote her character or, maybe, the actress just sucked the life out of the part.

Anyways, thanks for the rec, my brain needed some mindless fun *g*

Those moments were gold. I loved how Christie was totally playing it up when Tina's dad walked in on them in bed and was snuggling up to Tina. If fighting in lace panties wasn't enough to make me love Christie, that did it.

No, Malthe played the purple-haired that was in love with the brother that looked like Robin Shou but wasn't and kept fighting with Devon Aoki.

Helena wasn't the greatest character though, which is too bad because I generally like Sarah Carter (she was the second best thing about Black Sash, and actually made a couple episodes of Smallville worth watching). The character was pretty life-less and the most underdeveloped of the ladies.

Anyways, thanks for the rec, my brain needed some mindless fun *g*

No problem, glad to share the mindless hotness!
