This show is a great example of a low-budget success. It has great writing and the delivery of lines by the actors is priceless. The story revolves around the son of Count Dracula. His name is Vlad. He has a sister(Ingrid) and they must integrate into human society with Vlad and Ingrid going to a regular school. Van Helsing is a teacher at the school and tries to expose the Count at all costs. Vlad does not want to become a vampire but his sister is deeply into her family heritage. Unfortunately for her tradition dictates Vlad will take over the family one day. Count Dracula is one of the main reasons to watch this show. To see him in his naturally evil surroundings and trying to raise his kids is brilliant. Not to mention parent/teacher meetings. This show is great fun and it goes to show you don't need a massive budget to pull off great television viewing.

The Villain
(1979)
A good old fashioned entertaining movie
11 February 2005
Warning: Spoilers
Cactus Jack is one of the most laid back mindless watches that you can enjoy over and again. Arnie does no action and is playing a typical meat-head with a heart. He is naive and when offered a piece of Anne Margaret(Miss Purdy) hes to thick to respond. Kirk Douglas and his horse Whiskey are the villains and comic relief. They fall foul of one another trying to get back at each other for their last battle. A good example of this is when Douglas jumps on Whiskey and tries to outrun the law but Whiskey just sits down. Totally fun but probably the best part of this movie is when the villain finally catches his prey and is asked by Miss Purdy what he is going to do The Villain says he is going to take the loot and ravage the girl she jumps into The Villains arms. How many movies have you seen that has sexual innuendo without the sex scene, humor and the badger getting the girl all with a strong cast. Top Movie.
G.I. Joe

G.I.Joe An International Hero (A Real American Hero)
19 December 2004
Where do you start on one of the most influential characters of all time. I can not stress enough how much fun this show is. Cobra is a terrorist force intent on taking over the world by any means they can. Cobra is headed by the self obsessed Cobra Commander. This guy built a laser to etch his face on the moon so the world wont forget Cobra. He makes Saddam look like a boy scout considering he not only brainwashed two U.S. towns but constantly overruns middle eastern dictatorships. If it wasn't for Destro his weapons supplier his character has developed wonderfully. The G.I.Joes themselves are led by Brigadier General Hawk but he is constantly in a meeting trying to prove to The Jugglers(Pentagon Beurocrats) that keeping the Joes around is a cheaper option than letting Cobra have its way. Cobra Commander detonated an explosive devise on the San Andreas Fault to raise an island up in the ocean so he could turn it into a legitimate country that gives him diplomatic immunity in the U.S. I have the utmost respect for Larry Hama who was the guy who got the ball rolling in the comic, action figure and cartoon series. Keep up the good work on this cartoon. Yo Joe.
