The master of modern horror, Wes Craven, presents a riveting adaptation of the chilling classic featuring Jennifer Esposito (SUMMER OF SAM), Omar Epps (IN TOO DEEP), Jonny Lee Miller (TRAINSPOTTING), Vitamin C (GET OVER IT), and Jeri Ryan (STAR TREK: VOYAGER). When a team of techno-savvy thieves breaks into a high-security vault, they don't discover priceless artwork ... they find a crypt that hasn't been opened for 100 years! Suddenly, the ancient terror of Dracula is unleashed in the chaotic 21st century. Free to follow his pursuits of seduction and po! wer, Dracula's first destination is America and the exotic city of New Orleans, a place where he feels right at home. Not far behind, however, is a young vampire hunter (Miller) from London, determined to save a young woman (Justine Waddell) with whom Dracula shares his dark legacy!As a director, Wes Craven has been able to infuse his horror movies with humor and some smart, often genuinely creepy, thrills, even on his lowest-budgeted films. As a producer of horror movies, well, his record has been spotty at best. Craven tapped his longtime editor Patrick Lussier to direct Dracula 2000, and the movie ends up with all the good and bad of "a Wes Craven production." A modern-day update of the Dracula legend, the script has some genuinely good ideas. Christopher Plummer (The Insider) takes a relatively juicy role as Van Helsing, owner of an antiques shop specializing in ancient weapons. He takes exception to how his namesake was portrayed in Bram Stoker's classic! novel, which he's more than happy to tell his assistant (Jonn! y Lee Mi ller, "Sick Boy" from Trainspotting) without telling him the whole story. When Omar Epps leads a band of high-tech criminals to break into Van Helsing's high security vault (thinking that with so much security there's got to be something extremely valuable in there), what they end up stealing is the body of Dracula, who of course awakens from his slumber. When the story shifts to New Orleans, where Van Helsing's estranged daughter is working for the local Virgin Megastore (here metaphor is replaced by product placement), Dracula is drawn to her. The undead start to multiply, and the vampire hunt resumes. Another excellent idea deals with a new origin to Dracula, flashing back to biblical times to explain his aversion to silver and crosses. But there is a downside. Under the inept direction of Lussier the movie is never scary, inspiring instead an occasional feeling of pity for the actors. Overall, this a vampire movie for the mind, not the heart. --Andy Spletzer!

Jack Ryan always wanted to play pro ball. But he couldn't hit a curveball, so he turned his attention to less legal pursuits. A tough guy who likes walking the razor's edge, he's just met his match -- and more -- in Nancy. She's a rich man's plaything, seriously into thrills and risk, and together she and Jack are pure heat ready to explode. But when simple housebreaking and burglary give way to the deadly pursuit of a really big score, the stakes suddenly skyrocket. Because violence and double-cross are the name of this game -- and it's going to take every ounce of cunning Jack and Nancy possess to survive . . . each other.

BIG GIRLS BOUNCE: Plus-Size Tales for Troubled Times

In this collection of humorous essays, Lulu Dean takes a slightly skewed look at marriage, friendship, sex toys, the oldes! t boxer shorts in the world and her not so little LBD.

From lighthearted accounts of adult passion toy parties and sisterly advice to the amusing adventures of loyal girlfriends and local nutjobs, Lulu delves into everyday subjects and extraordinary incidents with an entertaining and captivating style.

About the Author

In her dreams, Lulu Dean has never lost a job, rarely eats twice her weight in Little Debbie Cloud Cakes and almost never holds a grudge.

In the real world, however, she is the inquisitive, far from willowy and occasionally impatient author of Does This Pink Slip Make Me Look Fat?, Happy Nude Year!, Big Girls Rule, Big Girls Bounce and Bra, Humbug.

Excerpt from "Girdles and Corsets and Thighs, Oh My!"

“Go on ahead,” Shelby said to everyone as they arrived. “Grab a glass of chardonnay. Mix and mingle. And make sure you preview the top-selling Sexsational merchandise in the dining room. Itâ! €™s all right there on the table along with the salty snacks a! nd those cute wieners in pastry dough.”

As I followed Inez through the living room toward the exhibit of sex toys, potato chips and nibbly goodies, someone asked Shelby to repeat what she’d just told the group.

And she did, including the winning trifecta of Sexsational, dining room and cute wieners. When I turned to see who asked the question, I almost knocked a bright pink Jelly Bunny Vibratron into the ranch dip.

“What is your grandmother doing here?” I asked Inez. “Isn’t she a little old for this kind of thing?”

Excerpt from "And This Little Wiglet Ran All the Way Home"

Florine Willoughby sat at my kitchen table with one hand wrapped around what looked like a dead ferret and the other clutching an application for the Little Miss Regal Mail In Beauty Pageant.

“Let’s go over everything one more time,” I said, refilling her wine glass. “Want me to start?”

“No, I can,” she said, f! ighting back tears. “I’m so lucky to have you as a friend, Lu.”

I agreed, of course, but kept it to myself. When she’d arrived an hour earlier, I’d been right in the middle of my second piece of red velvet cake. I was having what my husband calls a “crazy vacation,” which generally involves roiling waves of emotional instability, some ugly-face crying and a blatant disregard for anything at all having to do with Jenny Craig.

Or Weight Watchers.

Even though I was up to my cankles in low self-esteem that day, I knew Florine was in much worse shape when she appeared on our doorstep dressed in a plaid flannel bathrobe, her husband’s Dallas Cowboys jersey and a pair of paisley leggings.

“Where are your shoes?” I’d asked.

“I think one’s back home in our driveway,” she’d told me. “And I threw the other one at some moron on the interstate. He kept getting in my way as I tried to pass on the shoul! der.”

Over recent years, however, new developments open up the exciting prospect of going "beyond" the Big Bang and even of finding a physical explanation for it. Surprisingly, the ancient idea of a past-eternal universe is being revived, but a variety of other fascinating new approaches -- from the Holographic Universe to Cosmic Natural Selection -- are also being pursued. This book provides an up-to-date overview of each of these competing scenarios with original contributions from the world's leading researchers in cosmology, who describe their own work and results in a manner understandable even to non-specialists. "The stellar line-up of contributors to this volume are working at the cutting edge of cosmological research, and are poised to take our understanding of the universe beyond the big bang into an even st! ranger realm." - Paul Davies. "This book provides a wonderful ! overview of current ideas on these ultimate cosmic questions, written by scientists working at the forefront of cosmological research."-- Alex Vilenkin.
LumiQuest Big Bounce enlarges and redirects and softens the light in the same manner as the Ultrasoft, with even softer results. Application: For use where a softer lighting effect is more important than "pocket size" portability (i.e. close-ups, portraits, etc.). Fits the same wide range of flashes as other LumiQuest models
