'Dracula — Pages From a Virgin's Diary'
![Straight out of Canada by way of Transylvania, "Dracula — Pages From a Virgin's Diary" ranks among the more eccentric wonders of the new-movie world. A wittily revisionist adaptation of the Bram Stoker classic and a passionate kiss to a lost cinematic past, the film was directed by Guy Maddin, performed by members of the Winnipeg Royal Ballet and looks like a lost silent-movie masterpiece — albeit one that would never have been shot. It's sexy, brainy and slightly nuts, and if it weren't playing at the Nuart Theatre it would be right at home at the Museum of Jurassic Technology.](http://www.calendarlive.com/media/thumbnails/story/2003-06/8362080.jpg "Straight out of Canada by way of Transylvania, "Dracula — Pages From a Virgin's Diary\" ranks among the more eccentric wonders of the new-movie world.

'The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen'
Times Staff WriterIt's axiomatic among film critics that the movies have gone to the dogs, or more precisely to teenage boys. Given the current crop of cheerlessly noisy entertainments, such bitterness is understandable, but then again it's summer.

Tales From the Crypt Presents Bordello of Blood

Dracula: Dead and Loving It
SPECIAL TO THE TIMESFriday December 22, 1995 Not to venture forth some sort of radical idea, but aren't comedies supposed to have jokes?
