| Synopsis:
Boxoffice superstar Tom Cruise ("A Few Good Men," "The Firm") stars in the hotly anticipated adaptation of Anne Rice's gothic novel. A vampire living in contemporary New Orleans decides to share with a reporter his 200 years of desire, love, yearning, grief, terror and ecstasy existing as the "undead." Academy Award-winner Neil Jordan ("The Crying Game") directs an all-star cast, including Brad Pitt ("Thelma & Louise," "A River Runs Through It"), Christian Slater ("Pump Up the Volume," "True Romance"), Antonio Banderas ("Philadelphia"), and Stephen Rea ("The Crying Game"). Both a boxoffice sensation ($39,000,000 in its opening weekend!) and critical success (Variety calls this "an intelligent, darkly voluptuous reading that rises to pulsating life..."). |

SOMETHING TO SINK YOUR TEETH INTO December 22, 2008
B. Morajka (CHICAGO, IL. USA)
WHAT CAN I SAY ABOUT TWO TOP MALE BOX OFFICE MEGA STARS. I HAVE BEEN A FAN OF BOTH CRUISE AND PITT FOR A VERY LONG TIME. I HAVE SEEN ALL OF THEIR FILMS. I THOUGHT WHEN THIS FILM CAME OUT, WOW HOW DID THEY MANAGE THIS? TOM CRUISE AND BRAD PITT BOTH HEADLINEING A FILM ABOUT VAMPIRES.
THE CHEMISTRY BETWEEN THE TWO ACTORS IS FANTASTIC. GOOD VERSES EVIL, BRADS VAMPIRE WITH A HEART AND CRUISES INDIFFERENCE PLAY OFF EACH OTHER LIKE A BOW AND VIOLIN. THIS FILM HAS SPARK AND MAGIC. THIS MOVIE IS A MUST HAVE FOR ANYONE WHO LOVES FANTASY. A GREAT ADDITION TO YOUR FILM LIBRARY.

Oh, you haven't seen this movie, go ahead and do yourself the favor of buying it, you'll watch it at least once a year, but because it's Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise in your living room dressed as very lovely vampires, I predict it will be more often than that! Classic vampire movie, I never paid much attention to it until I watched it this time, but there are a lot of homosexual undertones in this film, very strong undertones. At any rate, it's very entertaining, I'd recommend buying it!

Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt have great chemistry together.
Sit back and enjoy!
Cruise & Neil Jordan create an unforgettable interview November 10, 2008

When it was reported in the media that Tom Cruise was to play the lead part of Lestat, the legendary vampire, in Anne Rice's "Interview with the Vampire", the author herself was dead set against casting the famous movie star as her lead character. However after seeing the completed version of the film, Rice revised her opinion of Cruise and pronounced the performance "brilliant". This role, keep in mind, was passed over originally by Daniel Day Lewis and Jeremy Irons and in retrospect, they would've been too old to play the ever youthful Lestat so I think Cruise was an excellent choice. Also excellent are Brad Pitt as the doomed Louis and a very young Kirsten Dunst as the little girl who never ages. Neil Jordan, coming off his recent hit, "The Crying Game", also delivered with an involving psychological horror film of the first caliber. I am now renting this film in Blu-ray and will comment on its quality which is in debate by some of the customers here. Nevertheless, Blu-ray or standard, this is a film worth seeing if you're a fan of the book or an Anne Rice. I think Cruise is an under-rated actor who has also given brilliant performances in "Born on the 4th of July" and "Magnolia" but because of his good looks is often ignored (The Cary Grant fate!!) as Michael Caine has stated in an interview. Let's hope he doesn't do too many action films and goes for the jugular in his future films!!
