Dracula - The Legacy Collection (Dracula / Dracula (1931 Spanish Version) / Dracula's Daughter / Son of ...
Bela Lugosi, Sheila Manners
Universal Studios, 2004
Just a minor point...
+ Fun But Flawed
...I'm just watching the original Dracula now, and I noticed something unintentionally funny: about 2/3 of the way through, Mina and Harker are on the balcony, and Mina says -- happily! -- Look, the fog's lifting. See how plainly you can see the stars. And then, scarcely 50 seconds later (after a ...

GoodFellas (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Robert De Niro, Ray Liotta
Warner Home Video, 2004
Scorsese's Best
+ Fuhgeddaboudit
Martin Scorsese is one of my fav movie directors and Goodfellas is probably my favorite ganster movie (alongside with Godfather Part 1 and 2).

The Thin Red Line
Kirk Acevedo, Penelope Allen
20th Century Fox, 2002
Moby Dick goes to war
Movies are all about expectation management. If you go into this one expecting a thrilling war movie, you will be sorely disappointed. I think most of the criticisms given here are justified. There is not much character development; the pacing is slow; the story doesn't seem to go anywhere.
So ...
