Plot:
If Kate and Max itch, the killers after them know where to scratch. If they order pizza, slip into a hotel or go online, high-tech surveillance equipment instantly pinpoints them. The killers are sure the two have met their match. It's match, all right: one to light a hell fire of retaliation.

Fair Game pairs Cindy Crawford as Miami attorney Kate McQuean and William Baldwin as homicide cop Max Kilpatrick, determined to protect Kate when she's targeted by an ex-KGB operative (Steven Berkoff) and his commandos. Producer Joel Silver and debuting director Andrew Sipes craft a blistering perpetual motion machine, frequently delivering more lam for your bam. Buckle up for thrill upon thrill.

I watched this many moons ago and it still holds up as a decent action flick. It's your typical 'protect the beautiful witness at all costs' movie and while it presented nothing terribly original it is as good as most other similar movies.

As many directors have been want to do, they take non-actors at the height of their popularity and throw them in a movie. In this case it was Cindy Crawford. Who cares that she can't act... she's sexy with a capital S.  Soon as I pulled this movie out I immediately thought of that famous Pepsi commercial with her in it. As an added bonus, Salma Hayek and her ample bosom also make a brief but memorable appearance.

Certainly not an award winner by any stretch of the imagination but entertaining none the less.

Dracula - Spanish Version (1931), a review by addicted2dvd

Dracula - Spanish Version (1931)
At midnight on Walpurgis Night, an English clerk, Renfield, arrives at Count Dracula's castle in the Carpathian Mountains. After signing papers to take over a ruined abbey near London, Dracula drives Renfield mad and commands obedience. Renfield escorts the boxed count on a death ship to London. From there, the Count is introduced into the society of his neighbor, Dr. Seward, who runs an asylum. Dracula makes short work of family friend, Lucia Weston, then begins his assault on Eva Seward, the doctor's daughter. A visiting expert in the occult, Van Helsing, recognizes Dracula for who he is, and there begins a battle for Eva's body and soul.

My Thoughts:
This Spanish-language version was filmed on the same sets and at the same time as the English-language, Bela Lugosi version. The English-language version was filmed during the day, and the Spanish-language version was filmed at night. In this version the role of Count Dracula was played by Carlos Villar. I liked him as Dracula... he did a good job... giving the same feel as Bela Lugosi did. This version is also quite a bit longer then the English version. I did have little trouble keeping up with the subtitles (I am a slow reader)... but I was able to manage enough for it to keep my interest. The quality was a little lower then the English version... but not enough to take away from the enjoyment of the movie.
