Van Helsing
dir. Stephen Sommers
* Hugh Jackman - Van Helsing
* Kate Beckinsale - Anna Valerious
* Richard Roxburgh - Count Vladislaus Dracula

After seeing the trailer for this film for what seems like years (I’m talking to you to bloody day after tomorrow trailer that just won’t go away), I figured I knew what to expect from this film; cg axn similar to the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, a couple of monsters and hopefully a bit of fun similar to what we got from the first Mummy film. But the more I saw the trailer the less impressed I was. Went into the film without much hope for a good film.
