Awix (3310 KP) rated Dracula (English) (1931) in Movies

Feb 11, 2020

The first official screen version of Dracula has a reputation for being sluggish and stagey that is not entirely undeserved; we should bear in mind it was adapted from a play and released at a time when some cinemas were still not wired for sound (a silent version with intertitles was produced from the same footage). Nevertheless this is in many ways the version of the story that nearly all the others have been made in response to, whether they are riffing on it or reacting against it.

It's slow, and camp, and there are some interesting performance styles on display, but every now and then a moment slips through which is genuinely interesting, and which you can tell has inspired some of the movies that followed. Virtually no actual blood or visual horror, of course, but then it's not in and of itself actually scary. It is, however, the template and raw material from which most other Dracula movies (and many other vampire movies) have been drawn, and worth watching just for that reason.

408. Bad Boys for Life. I thought this was part 4, I think it's the Mandela Effect! I'm telling ya!! I guess the line "I'm getting to old for this shit" can only be said in Lethal Weapon, Martin Lawrence's character I think says every combination possible of that phrase. So in this one we get super sexy Isabel breaking out of the joint, and she has a hit list, all those peeps responsible for putting her away is about to get a visit, the last name on the list, our hero cop Mike Lowrey!! Now even though Marcus is ready to retire, he's pulled in for one more job! Well, until the real part 4 comes out! So why does super sexy Isabel want with Mike? Well, I won't tell you, but I can say conveniently enough, those events took place right before the original Bad Boys. They are some old ass street cops dang! Perspective... Lethal Weapon 4, Mel Gibson is ten years younger than Will Smith during Bad Boys for Life lol. It was entertaining!! Filmbufftim on FB
