This Joint Is Jumpin` (DVD)
Swing music has enjoyed several revivals since its birth in the Roaring Twenties. THIS JOINT IS JUMPIN`, a two-hour documentary, tracks the history of the jazz-based, be-boppin` music genre through the late twentieth century swing revival. Starting with the music of Count Basie, Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, and Duke Ellington, the film brings the viewer back to those hip days of zoot suits, seamed stockings, dance contests, and hepcats. It follows the genre`s growth through 1990`s acts like Big Bad Voodoo Daddy (who came into popularity after the film SWINGERS) and The Brian Setzer Orchestra.NR"

Vlad the Impaler (Gary Oldman), a count and fierce warrior, goes off to fight in the Crusades. Falsely hearing of his death, his beloved wife Elisabeta kills herself. Upon returning home and finding her, Vlad renounces God and becomes Count Dracula, embracing Satan in exchange for immortality. Flash forward to 1897 London. Jonathan Harker (Keanu Reeves) leaves fiancie Mina (Winona Ryder) and journeys to Transylvania to meet Count Dracula (Gary Oldman) to complete a real estate transaction. After seeing a photo of Mina, whom he believes to be his wife reincarnated, Dracula keeps Jonathan as a prisoner in his castle while he travels to London to meet his long lost love.
In his version of the oft-told tale, Francis Ford Coppola takes Bram Stoker`s archetypical horror story and accentuates the romantic angle. Blood still flows in large amounts, and Coppola opted to do all the eye-pleasing visual effects in-camera, utilizing shadow puppets, smoke, miniatures, and other time-honored tricks of the trade--creating a visual style not unlike that of a storybook come to life.
