Van Helsing provided more entertainment value than most of the good movies that came out that year. Endless hours of fun to be had mocking it!
Kaylee: So how many fell madly in love with you and wanted to take you away from all this? Inara: Just the one. I think I'm slipping.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Because books.
Bram Stoker's Dracula is my Van Helsing. Costume porn! Saturated colors! Victoriana!

But Keanu Reeves' horrible accent wasn't nearly as fun as Kate Beckinsale's. I expected her to declare that after they caught the werewolf, she would begin hunting Moose and Squirrel.

Heh.
I don't think Keanu even tried for one in Dracula. It was painful in Dangerous Liaisons.

I like Jacob more than Edward. Edward is sexy(sparkling aside!) but he is a moody fucker and I couldn't date him. And I can't believe I really read that shit!

Oh man, but that "See me" moment in Bram Stoker's Dracula did me right in. Uber sexy! Maybe it was the top hat. I don't know.

Hey. New board.
I enjoyed the Twilight novels in all their silliness. I don't quite get why it's one of the most popular threads on the message board I run (which has naturally mutated over time, as tends to be the case, from Spring Awakening-centric to teenagers-run-amok) but I found them amusing. I will probably see the movie, if for no other reason than because the girl playing Alice (my favorite character) looks exactly like my imaginings of her.

I hated Keanu for so long for Dangerous Liaisons, and I would not watch him in anything. Then I accidently saw Speed in the theatre and really enjoyed it, and also Walk in the Clouds. I recently rewatched Dangerous Liaisons, and I liked his adorable puppyness as long as he didn't speak. Also, I read somewhere that he gave some of his profitsharing for the Matrix to the Wardrobe people, and now I kinda love him as a person.

I think my favorite Keanu performance was in Speed (taking into account that I still haven't seen either of the Bill & Ted films). That performance was aided in no small measure by the chemistry he and Sandra Bullock had, as well as the excellent buddy-vibe he had with what's-his-face (Bill Pullman, right?).
