Dracula 2000
2000 - Rated R - 1 hr 39 min
Director: Patrick Lussier
Starring: Gerard Butler, Christopher Plummer, Omar Epps
This movie, evidently, was filmed before Gerard Butler was hot. Seriously. He's skinny, skeevy, and has crazy hair. Wes Craven's Dracula is definitely scary, and not as seductive as you might think.... for the ladies anyway.
On the upside, Jeri Ryan makes a hot reporter-gone-vamp, so there's that for the male viewership. In fact, with this bit part and her teensy appearance in Down With Love, I think I might have just watched her entire movie career in one letter. Oh, Seven of Nine, where are you now?
So this one's another boy movie (duh) and I wasn't thrilled. It seems to be made purely for it's vampire violence and sexual content - honestly, how many slutty vampires does this guy need? It also has a huge cast of TV show stars. The curly-fro guy from That 70's Show, Foreman from House, the new squintern guy on Bones, and of course, Nathan Fillion. He makes a pretty cute priest, I might add. Cuter than Gerard Butler, too.
In a long list of things that came out in the year 2000 with the number 2000 in their title, just because, this one falls somewhere in the middle. Not great, not horrible. Just more white noise with all that vampire stuff that's out there now.

Movie #10 - 300
300
Warner Bros Pictures
2007 - Rated R - 1 hr 56 min
Director: Zack Snyder
Starring: Gerard Butler, Lena Headey, David Wenham, Dominic West
While Gerard Butler makes some fantastic eye candy, that's not the only reason I love this movie. It's fun to watch, the action is visually interesting, and the blood and gore are impressive (I love some good blood and gore once in a while). What also impresses me about this movie is how cinematically interesting it is. It looks like the comic on which it's based, which is artistically speaking pretty cool.
As for its accuracy, I can't really speak to either the comic book or the history it's based on. Haven't read the comic and I'm not Mike, so you got me if it's accurate. From what I hear, it's not bad. But I've got some questions about certain aspects of this movie...

- Was Xerxes really an ancestor of Ru Paul?
- Did all Spartans have six-pack abs?
- Could they really fight dressed like that, without any armor at all?
- Why on earth would they listen to some drunken teenage girls about prophecy?
