BLADE Wesley Snipes, Stephen Dorff (1998, New Line, R, $106.99)Half human, half vampire (and, as played by Snipes, stoic to the point of stupor), the titular comic-book hero of this tedious action-horror flick is doomed to forever battle sharp-fanged underworld denizens and his own cravings. The action involves lots of second-rate martial-arts choreography (made even less thrilling by the video's pan-and-scan job), while the psychological conflicts are filled with unconvincing angst. Booby prizes: the many giggle-provoking moments, as when Kris Kristofferson's vampire hunter solemnly hands a hematologist a can of ''vampire Mace.'' D+
