timepiececlockRewatched Van Hellsing tonight, we were keeping it from Netflix because my mom hadn't watched it yet. In rewatching it, I decided it was better in some ways than I gave it credit for the first time I watched it.
Watching it a second time also compounded my main praise from the previous experience: DRACULA! He was the coolest thing about this movie. His clothes were cool; his accent (while sometimes amusing simply because I amuse easily) managed to be pretty cool and avoid most of the inherent silly-inducing clicheness; and his hair kicked ass. Really. I take back my previous comment-- his hair was the coolest thing about this movie. There's very few men in the world that can wear long, iron-straight hai-- in a half pony-tail-- with a hair clip-- and still look totally masculine, cool, and threatening. His make-up artist/costumers should be proud. And it wasn't like he was gorgeous or anything-- he was kind of normal-attractive in attractiveness of the face. But he could wear that hair and wear that cape.
If this actor with this costume had done the Dracula on Buffy, the Buffster would have been evilfied right quick and without complaint.

I've seen that too. I have conflicting opinions about it, some good and some bad. It was quite funny in parts.
