Blood: The Last Vampire (2009)
I love movies with action, women in action, women doing something besides looking pretty and kicking ass in action. This movie based on the anime which I was watching over a year ago and thought it was great until I made the mistake of going to Wikipedia and inadvertently saw the ending which turned me off completely and never went back to it but Racialicious posted the live action trailer so I want to watch it but I check out the official’s site and couldn’t find a theater that will be showing in Connecticut or the Tri-state area. The movie will be released to U.S. theaters sometime in July.

The title character Saya is played by South Korean actress Jun Ju-Hyun has change her name to Gianna Jun. I believe it’s her first English speaking role and movie. Question: Why do Asian actresses seem to anglicise or just change their name in total for Western audience. I know I probably answered my own question by saying that but I could learn to say their name.

Oscar AwardSynopsis:
