Renfield is a comedy horror film directed and produced by Chris McKay, and written by Ryan Ridley from a story by Robert Kirkman, who also served as producer. Inspired by characters from the 1897 novel Dracula by Bram Stoker. Legendary Renfield is Dracular’s helper, in the monster universe, who wants his freedom. This makes for a funny movie that I couldn’t wait to see. I thought it hit the spot in some scenes but was basically a smile till the end. Not bad but not great.

In the early 20th century, Transylvanian vampire Count Dracula (Nicholas Cage) meets English lawyer R. M. Renfield(Nicholas Hoult). Renfield hopes to broker a deal for some land and after proving to be a useful assistant, he ends up becoming Dracula’s familiar, allowing him to be immortal and gaining super strength and speed when he consumes bugs.

Air is a biographical sports drama directed by Ben Affleck and written by Alex Convery. The film is based on true events about the origin of Air Jordan, a specialized Nike basketball shoe line.  Basically, an employee contemplates, against all odds, striking a business deal with rookie player Michael Jordan.

Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves is a comedy, fantasy heist film directed by Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley, who co-wrote the screenplay with Michael Gilio from a story by Chris McKay and Gilio. It is based on the tabletop role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons and is set in the Forgotten Realms campaign setting which has no connections to the film trilogy released between 2000 and 2012. I heard a lot about the game Dungeons & Dragons but never played it. When Honor Among Thieves was made into a movie, I was anxious to see it. In my opinion, Dungeons & Dragons is one of the best fantasy films I’ve seen lately. Kudos to the writing team and director for a job well done.
