If you like Dracula movies, then this one is one you'll probably want to watch. It uses all the really cool, in-your-face, fast action, hi-res action scenes that were made so popular by the comic-book action movie adaptations of the last decade. Definitely high on adrenaline factor, and I like that. But this one has the old-school Dracula movie feel.





I watched this movie a few months ago and I liked it. But the thing that brought my attention to it today was that I watched an old Dracula movie last night. It was one of the movies with Christopher Lee as Dracula, chased by Peter Cushing, as Dr. Van Helsing. I always remembered Cushing as the "occult expert" in all those movies, but didn't realize until now that he was the original Van Helsing.

It didn't exactly get raving reviews here, but probably worth a rent on a cold winter evening. And it's got Kate Beckinsale in it, too.

That's about it. I liked the movie enough to mention it, but mainly because I wasn't aware that Van Helsing was the part played by Peter Cushing. He played a part very similar to Sherlock Holmes in "The Hound of the Baskervilles."
