NADJA (1994) dir. Michael Almereyda After the death of Count Dracula, his daughter Nadja and her familiar Renfield arrive in New York to burn it his corpse, hoping this ritual will free her from her own vampiric curse, but then Nadja gets sidetracked when she meets a lost soul in a bar. Lucy is not a vampire, but she too is suffering from ennui – bored by her life and her relationship with husband Jim. Meanwhile, Jim is bailing his uncle, Van Helsing, out of jail: after learning of the disappearance of the Count's corpse, he enlists his nephew in his quest to destroy any trace of any vampire still left in the city. As the plot develops, Nadja visits her sickly brother, Edgar, who’s being looked after by a nurse called Cassandra. Van Helsing and Jim’s quest to seek out Dracula’s descendants also leads them to Edgar, bringing the two halves of the story together... (link in title)

Hamlet (2000)

Summary: Claudius (Kyle McLachlan) kills his brother (Sam Shephard), the Denmark Corporation CEO (or "king"). Hamlet seeks to avenge him.

Squarely turn-of-the-century but still decent. Modern setting and retention of Shakespeare dialogue was evidently a winning combination.

Rating: 3.5/5
