He also starred as the teenage version of Alfred Kinsey in Bill Condon's "Kinsey", had a key role in Clint Eastwood's "Flags of our Fathers", and got to seriously make out with "Stargate Universe" hunk Brian J.

I'd rather just see a sequel to Van Helsing with Hugh Jackman even though it wasn't great.

DragonSword: Its funny you said that I just got my BR of Van Helsing today and just watched it. I did love the whole storyline even if it was a little cheesy, but I did enjoy it overall. Since I grew up with the Original Horror Movies. And Yeah I'd like to have seen a sequel also. But come on you got Kate Beckinsale in it enough said! :tongue:

And what is this about Abraham Lincoln as the Vampire Hunter?

[AlbertV]

It's based off a popular book that came out from the author of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.

And "Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters".

I understand they're really fun reads and pretty gory at that.

I hear the blu-ray is a nice upgrade from the dvd.

DragonSword: It was good not great, I was expecting to be blown away more, but really so far not that many BR's have done justice for me, that I have been like WOW!
