When Coppola Dabbles in Surreal Films

Rating: Null/10 (17 May 2001)

Dracula was absolutely stunning, and I'm not just saying that because I'm on the payroll. This film was so awesomely constructed, and that means lots of money. Is there any genre that Coppola can't conquer? I have some questions, though: Why was Dracula sporting that grunge look from Seattle? It's quite popular, I've heard, but why in this movie? Also, why did Vlad borrow his shades from John Lennon? Aside from that, this film really kicked a**! A new color scheme was introduced every five minutes, and the opening was spectacular. I liked the flashback in the beginning better than the rest of the movie. The pace was just right, and I felt like things were moving real fast towards the end of the film. I thought Winona should have covered her cleavage, and her shame, but oh well. Francis likes cleavage; go figure! Rating: 10/10 (MB-Massive Babeage)
