Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: DVD Comment: I received my order in a timely manner and in good condition. thank you Customer Rating: Summary: Fascinating failure Comment: "Bram Stoker's...." represents the last gasp of Coppola's once-formidable talent. Like "Godfather 1 & 2", "The Conversation", and "Apocalypse Now" (the original release only), this film has personality and style to burn. The difference, and this is nearly fatal, lies in Coppola's casting choices. Clearly Winona Ryder and, especially, Keanu Reeves were chosen to grab a younger audience. That ploy may have worked at the expense of period credibiity and thespian gravitas. I enjoyed Oldman and Hopkins in their scenery-chewing glory, an antidote to the flat readings and performance of Reeves. But, what makes the film remarkable is the production itself: the sets, costumes, score, and old-style "in camera" low tech effects created by Coppola's boy Roman create an absolutely unique vision. Too bad that Coppola, who once famously fought Paramount for Pacino over Redford, and for Caan and Nino Rota, so easily capitulated to get the film made. If that was the sole way to get Columbia to greenlight the project, then it was worth it. However, the casting and, to a lesser extent James Hart's script, prevented "Bram" from being a true classic. And yet, after watching "The Rainmaker" last night, a purely journeyman effort without an ounce of cinematic personality, one longs for another effort as interesting as this "Dracula" Customer Rating: Summary: Dracul Comment: The Best version of Dracula.... comes with special features and the picture quality is great, get a great sound system and u got it all!! Customer Rating: Summary: Bram Stoker's Dracula Comment: Bram Stoker's Dracula (Collector's Edition) A beautiful and tragic love story. The connection between Mina and Dracula is powerful and soulful. You sympathize with Dracula's deep sorrow for having lost the love of his life. Mina is his reincarnated lost love. The costumes, erotic intimations, imagery, and cinematography are breath-taking. The characters are painted in a sophmoric stroke, save for Gary Oldman's portrayal of Vlad/Dracula. He is stunning in this role. Customer Rating: Summary: Dracula: PoMo Version! Comment: First off, the extra star is for even attempting to make a vampire movie, which people don't do enough of. That being said, I don't know how this ludicrous dud of a movie received 82% positive reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, but I can only surmise that free alcohol was provided at the advance screening. Critics praised it as 'unique' and 'lavish', when what they really should have said was 'tactless' and 'gaudy'. The costumes and sets are ridiculous, including a papal length robe for Dracula and hair that can only be described as a twin mohawk afro. Keanau Reeves provides the final insult, delivering all his lines with what must be the first surfer dude inflected Southern English accent. Anyone expecting a faithful, gothic style adaptation is in for nearly 3 hours of bitterness. Unique indeed! More Reviews
