Having recently read Bram Stoker's Dracula and watched Bram Stoker's Dracula, I am now more than ever convinced that the Coppolas are, as a bloodline, monumentally overrated and essentially untalented. I have seen Lost in Translation and while I find it an adequate film, I fail to understand what all the fuss was about; The Virgin Suicides remains among the worst movies I have ever endured. And Papa Coppolas two exemplary films, The Godfather and The Godfather: Part II, are more than outweighed by his voluminous drek such as Apocalypse Now, The Godfather: Part III, and the aforementioned Bram Stoker's Dracula. I salute the man for directing Captain EO, but on the whole he can only be fairly categorized as a thoroughly mediocre talent.
