Lady Georgiana is invited to a castle in Transylvania to be a royal representative at a wedding. But once she gets there, she sees stuff that seems to involve vampires. And that's before someone drops dead. What's really happening? Plenty of fun as always, although the book does have a bit of a slow start.

Original, gruesome and fun!
Director Sam Raimi returns to his horror roots with this awesome flick about a female bank loan officer who has to show some backbone to get promoted and pisses off the wrong old lady.

Without saying too much, you will never predict where the film goes and the unusual circumstances the protagonist heroine finds herself in.

I was skeptical, but this movie rocks.

Please check it out.!

"Preston Sturges at his best. This was the first of his films I ever saw, in a revival at the Regency in New York, and it was a revelation. You’ve never heard dialogue so funny or move so fast. Barbara Stanwyck and Henry Fonda are hysterical, and it has maybe my favorite line ever in a movie—Fonda asks a fancy old society lady at a dinner party if he’s missed anything. She says, “The fish was a poem.”"

"That movie blew me away. I think my dad made me see that and I remember Lee Marvin in that; Lee Van Cleef and Strother Martin are sort of the sidekicks. Woody Strode, John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart. Just an incredible cast, I mean… It was just a surprise kind of western. There’s this scene where he gets his heartbroken — John Wayne gets kind of vulnerable in the bar. He loses the lady. That’s a great scene."

"There’s arguably no more famous knitter in literature than the crafty Mrs. Marple (pun intended). She’s a sly old lady who endlessly solves crimes while simultaneously knitting sweaters, and crocheting socks. The Moving Finger could stand to feature more of her, but it stands as one of my favorites for the simple fact that a cast aside old woman, outwits an investigator from the Scotland Yard and concocts an elaborate plan to catch the elusive murderer.
