Saint Ange (2004)
Good trailer, bad movie
I only watched this movie because the trailer looked interesting. This movie just came out here in Spain last week and I am sure it will be gone before next weekend.
While I was watching, I thought this must be a joke. A movie can not possibly be this bad! Sorry but yes, a movie can be this bad. The joke was on me and the other two people inside the theatre with me because it only got worser as the movie continued. And the ending was the stupidest ending I have seen in all of cinema.
This is the worst movie of the year. The plot was ridiculous, the music was too much and the acting was not good either. Lou Doilon was not bad, she was the most like her character. But I noticed that when Virginie Ledoyan cries, sometimes she looks like she is constipated, sometimes she looks like she is laughing.
This movie is a big disappointment, but I will be generous and give it 1 star out of 10.
Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992)
A good but under-appreciated movie
I first saw this movie on video because I was still too young to watch in in the theater when it came out. But the older I get the more I appreciate it.
Francis Ford Coppola was able to make a respectful movie adaptation of the mythology of Dracula/Vlad the Impaler. I can tell he was influenced by Murnau in this movie but he still succeeded in making it very original.
Winona Ryder is so beautiful in this movie and she plays Mina with the delicacy and vulnerability that was required by her character. Keanu Reeves played Jonathan Harker with the innocence that was necessary even though many people ridiculed him. And the great Gary Oldman and Anthony Hopkins were very good and convincing all throughout. Like Count Dracul himself, this is a movie that gets better with time and age. I give this movie 9 stars out of 10.
