Bitten by Van Helsing

I’ll be taking the plunge tonight to see the summer’s first blockbuster movie, Van Helsing. I’m somewhat of a “try anything once” kind of person, and once I’d tasted Underworld I was hooked on the goth-popculture movie genre.

We’ll see if I survive the cheesy effects, silly plotline and over-the-top special effects which we’ve all come to know and love from the summer movie season. Thankfully Shrek 2 is out next week so I can kind of even out my month with some cuddly ogres.

Don’t do it! It’s no better than a rental, and even then I’d recommend passing it up. (Ebert liked it, though.) I was able to string a few words together after I saw a (free) sneak preview the other night: http://calebwalker.typepad.com.

I’ve read some less-than-complimentary reviews of it, too. I think we’ll probably rent it, and even then it will be out of curiousity.

Not that I get out to too many movies these days in any event, but still.
