Dracula (1992)

The good parts of this movie came from Bram Stoker's Dracula.  The bad parts of the movie came from the moviemaker.

At first I thought this was a comedy because of Dracula's hairstyle. From the top it looked like D-cup breasts. From the back it looked like butt crack with butt hair hanging out. I thought Francis Ford Coppola was supposed to be an artsy director; did everyone on set think that hairstyle was acceptable?

Then Dracula cried when he heard Mina got married. Eyeliner and white powder dripped from his face. Yuck! Dracula was pale from lack of sunlight, not from cosmetics!

That led into my main complaint. I disliked them turning Dracula into a lovelorn sick boy. Dracula liked beautiful women. That was it. He was not in love with Mina.

Mina was not in love with Dracula, either. She was a good friend and a faithful wife. This was why Mina was such a badass in the book, not for being Dracula's wife.

I'd rather them calling this another vampire movie, not Bram Stoker's Dracula. None of the people that made this movie obviously read the actual book.

Good Fortune (2025)

We only went to see this movie because we were bored.  This was at most a rent DVD/stream online movie, or wait until it's available for...
