Played hilariously by Richard Benjamin, the psychiatrist embarks upon a one-man campaign to warn New York that a vampire is haunting its discos and hot spots. At this model's apartment, about which she casually remarks "I hate housework, it killed my mother," the refrigerator contains champagne, two dead gardenias and a kitten.Complications ensue, since the model already has a boyfriend, who also happens to be her psychiatrist.
Hamilton is so caught up in the fashion-plate aspect of the role and partly because he's supposed to be in love, with a Very Famous Model (played by Susan St. But Dracula isn't interested in frightening people this time, partly because Mr. He doesn't scare anybody any more - except for one man, who sees the vampire in his bat incarnation and is reminded of his first wife. They take up residence at the Plaza Hotel, where Dracula sleeps in his coffin by day and his servant - who feeds on live insects - glumly watches Raid commercials on television.The premise of Robert Kaufman's screenplay, which contains both good jokes and awful jokes but is never slow, is that New York has gotten jaded since Dracula was last heard from. Don't be here." So off he goes to New York, accompanied by his small, faithful servant, played by Arte Johnson. The Rumanian government has designated his castle a training center for young gymnasts, and a delegation warns that "In 48 hours we'll be back with trampolines, parallel bars, swings and Nadia Comaneci. "Love at First Bite" opens today at the National, Loew's Cine and other theaters.Poor Dracula! As the story begins, he is forced to leave his Transylvanian home. Hamilton's knack for comedy has been a well-kept secret until now, but he's certainly funny in "Love at First Bite," a coarse, delightful little movie with a bang-up cast and no pretensions at all. Nonetheless, when audiences get a glimpse of Pattinson on the big screen, it will be love at first bite.QUITE unexpectedly, George Hamilton's Dracula turns out to be - pardon the expression - a scream. With the film already at two hours, it would have been tough to work in more of the supporting vampire cast – Kellan Lutz, Cam Gigandet, Peter Facinelli, Nikki Reed – but it might have been worth it. Seems Pattinson can do it all – he penned and sang a song on the film’s soundtrack.īrightening things up in rainy Forks are Bella’s buddies, Michael Welch and Justin Chon, who comically compete for her affections, and Anna Kendrick, the sassy friend who delivers the zingers. She really had no chemistry with her leading man, who could convey his feelings through gesture and expression. Bella is supposed to be smart, innocent and longing, but Stewart plays her, well, like an angst-ridden teen. Unfortunately, Pattinson’s dull co-star Stewart is merely along for the ride, wearing a perpetual pout. He’s best know for his role as Cedric Diggory in “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.” Working with a $37 million budget (low for a blockbuster-in-the-making), Hardwicke turns her camera on Pattinson, a relatively unknown actor who’s bound to be a huge star after this weekend. The film’s strength is in its director, Catherine Hardwicke, who’s no stranger to teen flicks (“Thirteen” and “Lords of Dogtown”).
In fact, the Cullens are a pretty good-looking vampire family. And they have good teeth, too – no fangs here. These vampires can go out during the day but have to stay out of direct sunlight. If you’re going to fall for a vampire, do so in the “Twilight” universe.
Not since Harry Potter has a book-to-movie inspired so much buzz.įor the “Twilight” purists, the film follows the book pretty closely, citing some dialogue, but some things, like Edward’s ability to fly, were added for effect. Based on Stephenie Meyer’s teen-vampire romance novel, “Twilight” is sure to suck box office blood this weekend as its online ticket sales have been brisk and showings across the country have already sold out.
