Film: Van Helsing

Oh dear.

I was wrong. The Day After Tomorrow is pure poetry next to Van Helsing.

Kate Beckinsale's been much better elsewhere, as have the rest of the cast. Do yourself a favour: see them in other films. Sure you'll miss out on two hours of tooth-bearing monster violence, but you'll also be spared the awful, confused European accents.

Still, if you find yourself alone in Ipswich on a Saturday afternoon it's marginally better than standing around in the rain.
