Van Helsing in Fifteen Minutes
Since I'm a member of both Netflix and Blockbuster Online (did that one to complete one of those free swag offers) I've been watching a great many movies.
Some have been good (Dawn of the Dead, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Stuck on You) and some not so good (Reign of Fire, Starsky & Hutch).
The one that I was really looking forward to seeing, though, was Van Helsing. I figured it had Hugh Jackman (he's so gorgeous), vampires, cool effects, and should be entertaining even if the story wasn't all that great.
I wanted to love it. I tried really hard. Alas, I did not. For those of you that want to save yourselves the trouble seeing it, just read Van Helsing in Fifteen Minutes. It's far more entertaining than the movie ever was.

We laughed all the way through Van Helsing. Especially during the inappropriate parts (re: the very end). It's been dubbed 'The Feel-Good Comedy of the Year' around our house. Sigh. Bad, bad, movie. I wanted to like it, too. Because Hugh does bring the pretty. I have to go read VH in 15 minutes, now! :D

I really liked the Mummy films the director did before. But I think this may have suffered the Batman Forever syndorme of too many villans in one movie.
I can't believe they didn't toss in the Creature from the Black Lagoon too!
