Year: 1996
Director: Mel Brooks
Plot: Mel Brooks does it again with this send-up of vampire films. That Leslie Nielson plays the great blood-sucking count gives viewers a good idea as to what they are in for. This Dracula takes himself very seriously despite the fact that he's a bit of a klutz with a tendency to slip in the bat guano that adorns his castle floor. Staying very close to Bram Stoker's original story, Brooks also pays sly homage to other major vampire film classics, including Nosferatu. Though silly but subtle gags abound in this outing, Brooks has taken great care to recreate the late 19th-century atmosphere in rich detail and harkens back to Hammer horror movies popular during the '50s and '60s. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide

Body: New to DVD 12/6 1. Pineapple Express -- Watch the trailer. Oh man, this was entertaining! We're giving away some Pineapple Express DVDs in Filmgaming. 2. The Wackness -- Watch the trailer. Read the review. Ben Kingsley is a therapist whose teenage pot dealer starts dating his daughter. Wackness ensues. 3. NetherBest Incorporated -- Watch the trailer. Darrell Hammond and Dave Foley star in this vampire comedy that looks better than Dracula: Dead and Loving It. 4. The Orphanage (El Orfanato) -- Watch the trailer. This extraordinary Spanish horror film is the closest I've ever come to screaming in the theater. It's been released on DVD once before, but I like it so much I had to mention it again. 5. Righteous Kill -- Watch the trailer. Al Pacino and Robert DeNiro together again, but I hear this is no Heat. 6. Eden Lake -- Watch the trailer. A couple's romantic getaway becomes a fight for survival when they're targeted by a group of malicious young men. 7. And something for the Blu-ray fans: Criterion Collection's The Last Emperor (Blu-ray). Watch the trailer.

Body: Although I picked Kinski, I also wanted to give credit where credit is due to Gary Oldman. What a transformation! But Kinski's vampire was really 3 dimensional, especially since most of the other characters in that film were so flat. my favorite scenes are 1) when he is moving the coffins off of the ship with this funny little walk to the church and 2) when he is running through the deserted streets of the town, bounding and leaping with such exaggeration. Too funny! [quote user="Risselada"] I picked this poll for a couple reasons. 1. This conversation in the Horror Movies 101 group turned towards discussing the greatest Draculas. 2. There was recently a vampire poll/tournament put on by Spout in which I think many people were a little disappointed that Twilight fans overwhelmed it. In this poll it won't be the tournament format and since it's just Dracula, the Twilight guy won't be included. Please vote only once in each poll. Movies referenced in this poll:Nosferatu the Vampyre (1979)Dracula (1979)Horror of Dracula (1958)Dracula (1931)Dracula: Dead and Loving It (1995)Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992)Nosferatu the Vampire (1922)Dracula (1931)Dracula: Pages from a Virgin's Diary (2002) [/quote]

Body: It’s a sad day for Mel Brooks fans. With us still mourning yesterday’s passing of Harvey Korman, who appears in a number of Brooks’ films, today Page Six reports that the Spaceballs director is “quietly shuttering” his film production company, Brooksfilms. In addition to Brooks’ directorial works from A History of the World: Part 1 through Dracula: Dead and Loving It, the company also made such films as The Elephant Man, 84 Charing Cross Road, My Favorite Year and one of my childhood favorites, the underrated guilty pleasure Solarbabies. I first caught wind of the news from Stu over at Defamer, and seeing as how his post features a montage of Brooksfilm clips that excludes Solarbabies (for which he apologizes), I present you with a clip from the film here. Isn’t it great to know that breakdance and beatboxing is still cool in the waterless post-apocalyptic future? Another thing that would be cool in the future: a Broadway adaptation of Solarbabies. Hopefully Brooks will forget about that Blazing Saddles musical that’s rumored to be in the works and concentrate on bringing one of his non-classics to the stage. It’d be kinda like Starlight Express meets Urinetown. If Xanadu can be a hit and Young Frankenstein can’t, I say this idea should at least be explored. Originally posted on:SpoutBlog

Body: Leslie Nielsen puts on an amazingly funny show with whatever he happens to be in, and this is no acception. It has the classic/basic Dracula thing going on with a humungous drop of comedy. The undead have never been funner. Laughs & giggles!
