Here we have Keanu Reeves’s second appearance as an unconvincing attorney of questionable moral character scrutinizing the validity of rape accusations. And, boy, is this sub-genre a lot less fun without Al Pacino as satan!

I love seeing South Korea dramatize its own history, and that’s what led me to watching this film in the first place. They tend to do it with a lot of verve and panache, and I also get inspired to read a bit about their history. The years of instability and political upheaval between the Korean War and the finalization of its democratic constitution (1953-1987) are to me the most fascinating.

Hotel Transylvania is the debut feature of Cartoon Network legend Genndy Tartakovsky. It is bursting at the seams with ideas. However, these ideas seem to mostly be coming from the SNL brain trust that this film rests its foundation upon. You’ll find few similarities between this and Tartakovsky’s television work.
