Movie Reviews of Nick Knight
Movie Review: Springfield is outstanding!
Summary: 5 Stars
Rick Springfield is equally adept at acting and music, an all-too-rare combination. In fact, he's the only musician/actor I can think of who can really do both. In this film, he is perfectly cast as an LA cop who works nights, successfully hiding the fact that he is also a vampire. When a series of murders strikes Los Angeles, Knight (Springfield) is the investigating officer, along with his new, obnoxious partner (John Kapelos). The connecting thread among the murders is that all the victims are homeless - and all have been drained of blood.
When another murder is committed in which the victim has been drained of blood, yet all the other marks of the crime differ from the usual pattern, the case takes a strange twist for Knight.
I wish that the film had been written with a stronger female character. Alyce Hunter, who is supposed to be a brilliant archeologist, does some of the stupidest things I've ever seen in a film. She chases Knight down an alley (trying not to be seen or heard) in high heels. She tries to attack another vampire with a dowel. She tips her hand too early. A better actress would have done more with the role, but Laura Johnson is simply awful. She's awkward, angular, and looks as if she's wondering when the shot will be over, so she can go hide somewhere. I can't believe that she was cast as a woman with whom Knight is supposed to make a fast emotional connection. She looks more like a bundle of neurosis held together by very fine wire. Why on earth was she cast? Not only does she sink every scene she's in, she damages the movie as a whole.
Johnson (and her character) aside, this was a nifty film showing modern life for a vampire. Where does he go during the day? How much daylight can he handle? Where does he get his food? Does anyone else know what he is? The film offers interesting answers to these questions.
If you like Rick Springfield, or if you like vampire films, this is one for you. Especially if you like Springfield, who IS the character, and hence, makes the movie effective.
Movie Review: All Hail the Hottest Vampire! He can act too!
Summary: 5 Stars
I see that other reviews already give plot summaries, so I want to give some little details that I exceedingly enjoyed (and had to rewind to watch over and over). Rick (Nick the Cop with the graveyard shift), has this ancient ritual goblet at home. He pours blood from a wine bottle into it and heats it in the MICROWAVE! That's his dinner - what I liked about this scene was that he makes it look like some delectable chocolate/cream/decadence by dipping his fingers into the cup, leaning back in his easy chair and licking his fingers after each dip into the cup! Then, we see his lips spotted with droplets of blood. During the movie we also see Rick (well, the cop) "vamp-out" in full vampire/undead face and go ballistic. He develops a love-interest as well, and at one point tells a fellow married officer that it must be nice "to wake up with a woman every morning." I just love that line - it makes me laugh to think that we'd actually EVER believe that this gorgeous cop would wake up without a woman (only if he didn't want to ok). Alright, the truth is - he's afraid to take a woman because he believes he'd chomp into her and drain her of blood in the moment of ecstasy (which he nearly does to this one woman after a little heated "necking" episode). Yes, you might be tempted to watch this film multiple times. If you are a Rick fan (and female) you will. I kept calling my 15 year old daughter over "hey, oh my gosh, come look at Rick!" (rewind, rewind, rewatch).Movie Review: You've got to see this one......
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a H-U-G-E fan of the 'Forever Knight' TV show, and Geraint Wyn Davies. But I also LOVE this version of the movie/pilot. Rick is a wondeful singer, but most people don't know how well he can act too!
There is one scene, where he is walking across his loft with a goblet of blood, and he dips his finger in and drips it into his mouth. Now, this was NOT in the script, he ad libed it because he tought it was something the character would do. It really makes the scene, I love it!
But that just shows how good an actor the man is.
The movie is full of action, adventure and humor. The actors are all good, and the plot is believable. It is well worth seeing. And if you have not seen 'Forever Knight', you can buy all three seasons here on Amazon for a good price. I ALSO recommend the series, especially after you see this. They are both excellent.
Movie Review: yes!
Summary: 5 Stars
All I can say is: if you like vampires and 80ies-style-movies (and for sure, Rick Spingfield ;-) ) with lots of good music in it, you will absolutely love this movie.
I bought this dvd because I am a Springfield fan and very long ago -when I was a teenager - I read about this movie in a magazine. Later I saw tbe series and remebered about the movie, but was never able to get it in Germany. Finally I have it and am very happy about it. Definately worth the money.
Movie Review: GREAT VAMPIRE MOVIE.
Summary: 5 Stars
THIS WAS A GREAT PILOT TO A SERIES THAT I WISH WOULD HAVE HAD MORE SUCCESS. IT WAS VERY SOLID AT BALANCING THE CRIME DRAMA ASPECT AND THE SUPERNATURAL. IT WAS ALSO ABOUT 8 YEARS BEFORE "BUFFY" EVER INTRODUCED THE VAMPIRE WITH A SOUL IDEA. BUT FOR SOME REASON "BUFFY" SKYROCKETED TO FAME WHILE THIS MOVIE, DEVELOPED LATER INTO THE SERIES CALLED "FOREVER KNIGHT," DIDN'T. AND THAT'S TOO BAD,IT WAS A VERY GOOD PILOT AND T.V. SERIES.
