Van Helsing

Mar.1, 2005

You can purchase DVDs at incredibly reasonable prices here in Canada.
I guess that's because stores buy those DVDs in large quantities wholesale. When they have too many stocks, they discount.

I got these DVDs last Friday.
The Mummy and Van Helsing.
They were packed together and sold two packs for C$40-. It means four DVDs for C$40-, $10- each. For your information, the exchange rate for C$1- today is 85 yen. Don't you think it is a good deal??
I went out with Nuk-Nuk that day and we got one pack each.

.... I love Van Helsing!
I have liked those kind of gothic horror movies and comics ever since I was a teen.
Nuk-Nuk told me that she likes The Mummy better. I like it too but, for me, Van Helsing beats it.

Van Helsing is a monster hunter who belongs to Vatican City. He hunts monsters on a secret mission ordered by Vatican priests.
People call him a murderer because the monsters turn into human after being killed. People don't know monsters used to be human who somehow transformed into an evil creature. Whenever a body is found, people witness Van Helsing around. Poor Van Helsing, he doesn't do anything wrong but he is wanted.
Hmm, typical, isn't it?? A hero who is not understood by anyone but devote himself !

What is good about this movie for me are ...
First of all, that Hugh Jackman is so cool!! He is performing as Van Helsing in a long black leather coat. I like him fighting with a intricate gattling bow and wheel cutters!
I found Hugh Jackman talented because he could become any kind of characters. I mean, it is so unrecognizable that Leopold in Kate and Leopold and Wolverin in X-Men are actually acted by the same actor. Yes! Hugh Jackman!!

Second of all, that vampires and werewolves come out!!
Oh, my gosh, Vampires and Werewolves hit right my fancy! Especially, I like the scene Van Helsing transformed into a werewolf. SO COOL!!

And the last but not least of all, that Kate Beckinsale is exquisite!! As I wrote before, she is one of the most beautiful actresses in me!! Oh, gosh. Her beauty in this movie is impeccable. You can see her in Underground, the vampire movie, too.
