Good movie
I rented the Van Helsing DVD from Blockbuster the other day and
watched it last night. A most excellent movie. Spectacular special effects. Sexy women - even Dracula's wives - when they weren't flying around being vicious. If you haven't seen it. Go right now and rent the DVD. You won't regret it. Two thumbs up. CN |
Saw it at the theater when it first came out. You're way behind the
times...go see National Treasure..it's not as good as Indiana Jones but it's clever. "Capt. Neal®" wrote in message ...

Dawn of the Dead...SUCKED!!!... by comparison to the past movies I've seen.
Really... zombies can't run.. everyone knows that!! Van Helsing was cool...I enjoyed it Haven't seen Hellboy nor Riddeck... but I will. CM "Bobsprit" wrote in message ... Van Helsing has a script dumber than a rock and the CGI effects are Scooby Doo level. Along with Hellboy and the Chronicles of Riddick, it's the worst movie of the year. Two movies that at least make some effort a Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and the remake of Dawn of the Dead. Capt RB |

too true Bob,
there are too many people out there who don't know that 'Frankenstein' and 'The Raven' are two of the most beautiful love stories ever written. Scout "Bobsprit" wrote in message ...

Well Scout... while I can concur with your opinion of the original works....
this movie has nothing to do with accurate documentation of several novels..... it has however all to do with action adventure and fantasy! As such it succeeded as far as I'm concerned.

Bobsprit is as confused about movies as he is about sailboats and sailing. It is apparent from his posts that he confuses the novels movies are loosely inspired by with the movie itself. Booby seems offended when a movie is anything more or less than a duplicate of the novel. I can understand why he is confused about this. He has no imagination. He cannot enjoy theatre of the mind. A novel is theatre of the mind while a movie is theatre of some dweeb director's mindless interpretation of a book. Booby knows not the difference between the two.

keep it simple: fellini? I've seen all of Kurawsawa's work on the big screen, and some restored cuts you've never seen. As for great film being based on literature, yes, most is. Literature and written story structure, later adapted for film, existed long before. Next? RB |
The thread is about Dracula which is based on the novel by
Brahm Stoker. And Van Helsing also borrowed from Hyde and Frankenstein tales as well. Gonefishing can't follow the thread. RB |
most film is historically based on literature
there are many great films that are not. great or ground breaking cinema can operate completely independent from literature. simple statement gf.
