The release of ‘Jess Franco’s Count Dracula’ on DVD marks one of roughly 51 films based on Bram Stoker’s iconic character (and one of nine turns for Christopher Lee to play the part). Franco, director of such camp horror classics like ‘Venus in Furs’ and ‘The Diabolical Dr. Z’ brings his vision of Stoker’s novel to life not without a few flaws, but the overall effort can bring a smile to any classic horror fan.

This week is a slow one for any new movies on DVD, but there are some interesting choices, take an early look on our ‘DVD Tuesday’ feature…every Monday! Some very cool TV on DVD like ‘Doctor Who: The Invasion & The Sontaran Experiment’, ‘Hawaii Five-0 – S1’ & ‘Moonlighting – S5’. As mentioned there really is no big new release of the week, but there are some cool box sets like ‘Audrey Hepburn Collection’, ‘The Hemingway Classics Collection’, ‘Jack Ryan 3 Pack’, ‘Literary Classics Collection’. And the child in us will all enjoy ‘Peter Pan – Two-Disc Special Edition’, from Disney. Personally I’m interested in ‘Saturday Night Live: Best of Steve Martin 2’ & ‘Doctor Who’ (you know I’m picking those up)! Check out the whole list here! [More]
