Suko, I hope you get to watch Mao. I think you’d really like it. Dracula is just for silly fun if you’re up to it ;)

I haven’t watched Queen of the Damned. It sounds pretty good. I might check it out. Thanks! I hope Mao would come to UK soon!

Mao’s Last Dancer appeals to me. I think I’d really enjoy it. Not so sure about Dracula. . . .

Thanks for your reviews.

Mao’s Last Dancer looks incredible. I can’t wait for it to come to the UK.
Regarding vampire movies, I really liked Queen of the Damned which was a sequel to Interview with the Vampire and has a totally different cast. A smaller movie, but better, I thought.

I don’t like action movie. I don’t like vampire movie. I wonder whether I would like action vampire movie… Mm..

I haven’t seen Underworld for obvious reason, but I may check it out if you say it’s good ;)

From Dusk Till Dawn is a good movie if you’re looking for some vampire fighting action, but not if you’re looking for that classical romantic atmosphere of vampire lore. I wouldn’t give the actors in Dusk Till Dawn an Oscar, but it’s a pretty decent action movie… and on the topic of vampire action, I’d go for Underworld Part 1 starring the beautiful Kate Beckinsale. Kate, in my opinion, is the hottest ass-kicking vampire heroine you’d find in the big screens :)

Surprisingly I have never watched or read Gone with the Wind! I intend to read the book soon though. I have a good feeling about it since my experience hasn’t been tainted by the movie, so I’ll go into it with fresh eyes :)

I think Keanu is horrible actor too. It’s surprising how he survives all this time. He’s not at all prominent in Dracula though, so you can almost ignore him.

I do hope you would get to see Mao’s Last Dancer.

If your taste for vampire movies is anything to go by, I’m sure you’d like Mao’s Last Dancer ;)

Looking forward to the swap. Great work as always Nymeth!
