The Return of Count Yorga is one of those few sequels that is superior to the original film — in this case, Count Yorga, Vampire. The acting is, for the most part, better and the characters are at least as interesting.
The Return of Count Yorga
This monumental account of the allied invasion of Normandy on D-Day (June 6, 1944) is a classic among WWII films. Spectacular battle scenes; intense acting by John Wayne, Henry Fonda, Sean Connery and Sir Richard Burton, among others; and gut-wrenching pathos capture the horrors and heroics of a defining historical event. 1962; black and white, 3 hours.
Count Yorga, Vampire begins with a coffin being unloaded from a ship docked at the Port of Los Angeles. It’s then driven to a mansion in the California hills.

West of Shanghai (1937) starring Boris Karloff, Gordon Oliver, Beverly Roberts, Ricardo CortezWest of Shanghai is an excellent movie, dealing with a cast of Western characters who travel to China for a variety of reasons. Once there, they are forced to deal with a warlord named General Fang, played by Boris Karloff. It is Karloff’s performance that makes an otherwise ordinary movie memorable.

Flint Lockwood: My name is Flint Lockwood. My whole life I wanted to be a great inventor. Just like my hero.
There’s a saying that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. And Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2: Revenge of the Leftovers proves that in spades. The basic problem with the film is that the central conflict — nerdy scientist Flint Lockwood seeks approval from a father figure — is exactly the same as in the original film. Only the father figure has changed.

Hotel Transylvania aims at a juvenile audience. Complete with the fart jokes and low humor that we’ve come to expect from Adam Sandler. And that’s a real pity. It’s actually a much better film than that.
