Admittedly, you’d be hard-pressed to find a Count Dracula that was as seductive or memorable asBela Lugosi’s, or even as masterfully evil in presence asChristopher Lee’s. Both Lee and Lugosi are considered Dracula icons these days, and for good reason. But if you’re looking for a slightly different take on literature’s most famous vampire, may we suggestRichard Roxburgh’s performance as the Count in the criminally underratedVan Helsing? Though the film itself hasn’t always been the most well-received, it features one of Roxburgh’s most energetic performances, and certainly his best in a villainous role....

The Love Witchis a delicate potion. It’s also pure art. Like the concoctions that our titular witch, Elaine (Samantha Robinson) makes in attempts to find true love, the chemistry of the film might not be perfect, butAnna Biller’s homage to Cinemascope isn’t just a mere recreation of a cinematic look from the swingin’ sixties past. Biller adds some modern feminist flair to this pop reverie. The Love Witchblends the genres of horror, erotica and melodrama that utilized the brightest pastels and the biggest go-go scores in the 1950s and 60s....

However, any fan of the show knows that Ross also has a propensity for anger that often far exceeds the situation at hand, and this unfavorable trait is shown in spades in the aptly named episode,“The One With Ross’s Sandwich....
