In 1995, it was promising to hear that Mel Brooks was creating "the companion piece to Young Frankenstein." He had also brought in the heavyweight of deadpan--Leslie Nielsen. As Lt. Frank Drebin in the Police Squad movies, Nielsen has no peer for silly stuff--just the player Brooks would seem to need for a strong movie, as any fan of Brooks perpetually hopes a new film may rekindle his madcap magic. Alas, the end results in Dracula: Dead and Loving It include a sprinkling of amusements and one big belly laugh. Brooks and his writers use a very tight adaptation of Bram Stoker's novel, but the spoofs can be spelled out as we go, as if they are paint-by-number. Some are jabs at Coppola's version of Dracula, but most are attached to classic Dracula films. If any... Learn More

When it comes to an expressive set of lungs for horror, it's hard to match Jamie Lee Curtis, who set the standard for nonstop screaming in Halloween. She built her reputation as a scream queen in such subsequent outings as The Fog, Terror Train, and this similarly themed and relatively subpar horror outing. A progenitor of I Know What You Did Last Summer, this film focuses on four high school friends on prom night who are being stalked by a masked maniac seeking revenge for a death that occurred six years earlier.

This is a very dated comedy but it is good for a few laughs from those who might remember the cultural references. The emphasis is on "a few laughs". This movie certainly does not live up to the standard set by the NAKED GUN series or to that set by AIRPLANE. That's sad since it is from the same source and Leslie Nielsen plays the lead.
The story is of an exorcist who has gone into retirement after his last successful exorcism of a young girl. Many years later, that girl, now a woman, is repossessed while watching TV. The exorcist is reluctant to come out of retirement and tries to delegate the work to a young priest. The priest winds up getting help from a televangelist at first and then just about every other religious figure imaginable after...

At first glance of the title I thought, "Hmmm...sounds like Mel Brooks putting his spin on the adventures of Dave Bowman and Frank Poole and their climatic battle with HAL." But no, it's Leslie Nielsen in yet another utterly stupid and irreverent but delightfully funny flick. (Does he do any other kind?)
I thought this was going to be another Frank Drebin movie without the Naked Gun title, until the kidnapping of the President by aliens. Hey, who wouldn't laugh at the sight of Carreras, Domingo, and Pavarotti, the original Three Tenors, performing "In the Navy" by the Village People (and really getting the audience into it) on a completely uncontrollable stage platform due to a bunch of knuckleheads fighting the in the control room? Or two identical-looking sax-playing Presidents... More Info About This DVD Actor(s): Leslie Nielsen - Ophélie Winter - Ezio Greggio Director(s): Allan A.
