20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1972)
A Great Animated Adaptation Of The Jules Verne Classic
By far the best animated telling of 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea. I look forward to the day that this Rankin/Bass gem is released on DVD. Those of you who are familiar with the Rankin/Bass style of animation will appreciate this offering as it is highly reminiscent of the studios other works like The Hobbit. Having read the novel itself, this telling follows the story more closely than the Disney movie ever did.....which is of course a masterpiece in its own right. Rankin/Bass has produced many other series and movies over the years that would make great additions to any collectors library if only they would release them on DVD/Video. If anybody has a source for this animated feature why not post it for the rest of us?
Van Helsing (2004)
You have to see it to believe it!
I was skeptical about this movie from the very beginning. All of my fears and trepidation were soon allayed. This movie is great! It has action, special effects and it keeps you interested. Universal did a wonderful job bringing the gruesome threesome back for a modernized "period" piece. Hugh Jackman is great as Van Helsing and Kate Beckinsale is always a pleasure to behold. If you are a fan of the old Universal monster movies you should enjoy this one with out a doubt. I know I will be looking forward to the sequel! Another topic of interest is this movie was made by the same people that did the two recent Mummy movies....you will also note a couple of the supporting actors from those movies have roles in this movie. See if you can spot them.
