One last tour of duty

Staff Sargent Nantz (Eckhart) is planning his retirement from the service but, a strange phenomenon has began to crash all over the world and into the pacific right off the the coast of Los Angles. He is called back into duty to help lead a squad of Marines who all have a different views on him and all have stories of their own. Their job is to clear the area and evacuate all civilians because some form of alien beings has begun to attack and the order to send in nukes has been given. Does Nantz have anything left in the tank to lead us to victory?

Not Eckhart's finest movie but it just was a bad story. I am surprised that Michelle Rodriguez even got involved in this film

What you'd call the economy tour

Archetypal Hammer horror movie from the studio's imperial mid-60s period; unwise English tourists in Transylvania ignore warnings from bad-ass local abbot (Andrew Keir) and spend the night at Castle Dracula. They think they're there as guests; actually they're a kind of walk-in buffet organised by Dracula's butler to help get his boss back on his feet.

A bit of a slow start, but atmospheric and effective, with some good sequences in the second half. Keir stands in for Peter Cushing with his usual authority and charisma. Christopher Lee isn't in it that much, but is good when he appears - there are differing explanations of just why he doesn't have any dialogue. Everybody's idea of what a Hammer horror movie should be like.
