	Van Helsing (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Van Helsing plays fast and loose with its inspirations, hewing closer to the early movie incarnations of the various creatures than to the original novels.
		After nearly demolishing Notre Dame and getting his, er, man, Van Helsing returns to Rome, where he is given a new mission: travel to remote Transylvania to assist Anna Valerious (Beckinsale), a Gypsy princess who's the last survivor of a family sworn never to rest on earth or in heaven until Dracula is destroyed.
		Van Helsing is accompanied by Carl (David Wenham), a friar and brilliant inventor who plays Q to Van Helsing's Bond.

	Abraham Van Helsing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Van Helsing is a Dutch doctor with a wide range of interests and accomplishments, partly attested by the string of letters that follows his name: "M.D. D.Ph.
		In the novel, Van Helsing is called in by his former student, Dr. Seward, to assist with the mysterious illness of Lucy Westenra.
		Van Helsing's friendship with Seward is based in part upon an unknown prior event in which Van Helsing suffered a grievous wound and Seward saved his life by sucking out the gangrene.

	VAN HELSING
		Van Helsing, who comes from Amsterdam, is brought into the story through Dr John Seward who is attempting to solve the mystery of Lucyís illness.
		Perhaps Van Helsingís greatest claim to fame is that it is through him that Stoker presents to the reader the details of vampire lore: what predisposes a person to become a vampire, what the strengths and limitations of vampires are, and how to destroy the creatures.
		Since then, Van Helsing has been deconstructed in many forms both in fiction and in scholarly studies, represented from everything from a xenophobic reactionary to a peeping tom.

	Van Helsing
		A third consideration is Van Helmont, an ancient alchemist mentioned briefly in T J Pettigrew’s On Superstitions Connected with the History and Nature of Medicine and Surgery (1844), one of Stokers known source-texts for Dracula.
		Others contend that Van Helsing was modeled loosely on Arminius Vambery, a learned Hungarian professor that Stoker met in London.
		The first famous Van Helsing, Edward Van Sloan, opposed Bela Lugosi in the 1931 version of "Dracula" from Universal.

	WORTHPLAYING - - All about games !
		Van Helsing approaches the third-person shooter genre much in the same way as DMC did, as an attempt to seamlessly blend a cinematic sensibility with nonstop action and unmatched style.
		Over the course of thirteen missions, Van Helsing must pit his reflexes and wits against twenty-two separate monsters -- such as cave trolls, animated statues, spirits, winged demons, and banshees -- and eight boss creatures; expect to see appearances by all the classic monsters of cinema, such as the Wolfman, Frankenstein’s Monster, and Dracula himself.
		Another battle took place on the roof of a speeding carriage, as Van Helsing fought desperately against a trio of flying ghosts, jumping from horseback to the carriage and back again while he dodged the ghosts’ bolts of ectoplasm.

	Abraham Van Helsing (Dracula foe)
		(Van Helsing assumed that the Children of Judas were human, but mentally ill occultists.) He went there, and found Elizabeth bound on an altar with thirteen Children of Judas and Dracula present.
		Van Helsing refused to allow Elizabeth’s corpse to be beheaded or staked.
		I will presume that Abraham Van Helsing married again after the destruction of his vampirized wife Elisabeth, as the text story in Dracula Lives#3 noted that they were married for only a short while before Elizabeth became a vampire.

	The Popkorn Junkie :: Van Helsing
		Van Helsing works for the Catholic Church, vanquishing evil throughout the world, going wherever he is needed, all the while searching for the truth behind his past, for Van Helsing has no memory of his previous life other than nightmares involving ancient Roman battles.
		When the church sends Van Helsing to Transylvania, they tell him very little of what he needs to know, other than that he is suppose to prevent Anna Valerious (Kate Beckinsale) from kicking the bucket before Dracula is killed, thus removing an existing curse preventing all of her ancestors from entering heaven.
		Van Helsing is portrayed with flair, sarcasm, and machismo by Hugh Jackman, a fine actor, who knows just how to deliver lines that could have turned south in the hands of another, less talented actor.

	"Van Helsing" / a review and/or comments from Christian Spotlight on the Movies
		Van Helsing is briefed on the Dracula situation and sent by his priestly dispatcher-along with a gadget-making friar named Carl (David Wenham)-to Transylvania, where he meets up with Anna and inevitably (1) saves her life and (2) teams up with her to fulfill her family’s quest to kill Dracula.
		Van Helsing is the first “summer” movie of 2004, and as with many recent summer action films, it hits the ground running (there are no opening titles) and hardly pauses to breathe.
		For instance, it becomes clear that Van Helsing is over 1800 years old, and he is referred to at one point as “the left hand of God.” That his name is Gabriel may be meant to suggest that he is an angel, although this is never clearly stated.

	AudioRevolution.com HD-DVD Review of "Van Helsing"
		In the original Dracula”; by Bram Stoker, Professor Abraham Van Helsing was a man of medicine, a physician, not a secret agent with memory loss who worked for the Roman Catholic Church.
		One of the conceits in “Van Helsing” is that Dracula financed Dr. Frankenstein’s continued experimentation into the creation of life through the animation of dead flesh.
		In a series of encounters, Van Helsing talks with Friar Carl (Wenham), the Roman Catholic Church version of Q. Several impossible gadgets are introduced and tossed into the bag Van Helsing carries.

	Van Helsing First Look - PlayStation 2 News at GameSpot
		Van Helsing's gameplay follows a linear mission-based structure that relies heavily on well-known third-person action elements, such as those found in Capcom's original Devil May Cry.
		Outside of his arsenal, Van Helsing cuts an impressive swath on the screen, thanks to a fairly robust set of acrobatic moves that come in handy when you're being attacked from all angles.
		Van Helsing is currently slated to ship for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox this May. Look for more on the game in the coming months.

		Van Helsing's most immediately noticeable feature is its stylistic similarity to Devil May Cry.
		But Van Helsing is also a much simpler, shallower game; the controls are extremely basic and the game is very easy and short.

	Amazon.co.uk: Van Helsing: Video: Hugh Jackman,Kate Beckinsale,Richard Roxburgh,David Wenham,Will Kemp,Shuler ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Destined to fight the world's evil, Van Helsing (played by Hugh Jackman) is a warrior in a cowboy hat and a trench coat, heavily armed with a rapid-fire multi-arrow crossbow.
		"Van Helsing" is a kitchen sink monster movie, so it is a question of how far it can go before things fall apart, which for me was pretty far.
		Fortunately, Van Helsing has a new sidekick, Carl (David Wenham), a friar who is clearly the Vatican equivalent of James Bonds' Q. Carl main creation is basically a mechanical crossbow that shoots like a machine gun.

		Van Helsing mourns the people who have been turned into monsters, regretting that they must be killed.
		Van Helsing goes on to steal not only from horror flicks Blade, Blade II, Interview With the Vampire, Underworld and An American Werewolf in Paris, it also cribs from The Hulk, Stargate, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Batman, the James Bond franchise and the Alien series, as well as Sommers' own Mummy movies.

	INDEPENDENT CRITICS - Review Page
		The film a "Van Helsing" wants to live too, but like the monster, it's patchwork of so many different things that it can be uneven, and often, quite ugly.
		"Van Helsing" is an homage to the universal horror films of yesteryear, complete with the monster, the Wolfman, and Count Dracula.
		If you're not familiar with the character of Van Helsing, he was introduced in the original "Dracula" novel as Abraham Van Helsing, a professor who had a knowledge of vampirism and helps defeat the evil Count.

	Van Helsing Movie Review at Hollywood Video
		The chief assassin of a secret society dedicated to eradicating evil, Van Helsing is a man without a past, haunted by memories of ancient battles.
		Van Helsing himself is armed with a lot of high-tech 1800s gadgetry, like a rapid-fire crossbow machine-gun, a pair of handheld circular saws, a pistol that shoots grappling hooks, and plenty of nasty guns, knives and swords.
		Unfortunately many of the latter-day Van Helsing renditions (such as the 1960s Hammer Studios versions) are given short shrift or completely ignored, but at least there's lip service given to the monster-hunter's roots.
