Review of Interview With The Vampire DVD by dark_empress

Advantages: Dark, Witty, Sticks to the book
Disadvantages: Drags in some places

...other vampires, and in Paris come across the freakishly cunning 'Theatre of Vampires' which is inhabited by vampires pretending to be humans pretending to be vampires. The tale has many twists but makes for good viewing. CAST Tom Cruise ... Lestat de Lioncourt Brad Pitt ... Louis de Pointe du Lac Kirsten Dunst ... Claudia Stephen Rea ... Santiago Antonio Banderas ... Armand Christian Slater ... Daniel Malloy Having read the book I was pleased to find that the film doesn't veer off the storyline too much. Also as it was much approved of by Anne Rice herself, I was encouraged to watch it, and re read the book afterwards. I think this is one of those films where you'll either love it or you'll hate it. I personally think it's amazing, but then I like that kind of thing. Tom Cruise brings out the character of Lestat brilliantly... Read review

A RICE DISH BEST SERVED COLD
Review of Interview With The Vampire DVD by Marandina

Advantages: Great story, wonderful sets
Disadvantages: Possibly mis-casting, a little slow at times

...It's always difficult translating the best selling contents of a book into the moving pictures of cinema. Even with a glossy exterior and superstar presence, that osmosis from printed word to reels of film can vex even the most talented of directors. So when an Anne Rice screenplay of an Anne Rice blockbuster fuse with the direction of Neil Jordan, the result is an potentially explosive combination of sprawling epic and missed opportunity. Interview with the vampire is the quite literal interpretation of the title. Based on the biopic tale of Louis de Pointe du Lac (Brad Pitt), Daniel Malloy (Christian Slater)is an opportunist writer listening to the seemingly mad ramblings of a deranged man. Initially with his back to an attic window, Louis recounts a tale of death and destruction spanning four centuries and traversing several... Read review

For one brief shining moment ..........
Review of Camelot DVD by SusanLesley

Advantages: Wonderful music, great performances, nostalgia!
Disadvantages: None providing you like musicals!

...worrying about the day to come and, naturally, singing about it! 'I Wonder What the King is Doing Tonight'. Merlin is on hand to give him advice but it does nothing to help his unease. Guenevere leaves her coach and happens upon King Arthur in woods. They become acquainted without actually knowing who each other is and when they finally officially meet they are more than happy to marry. The story continues with songs at regular intervals as King Arthur sets up the Round Table and an Order of Chivalry for the Knights meaning that they are involved in acts of goodness rather than fighting and crusades. All is well until Sir Lancelot du Lac hears about the new order and decides to come and join the Round Table. Now this was the point at which my friend, Diane, and I REALLY sat up and took notice. Franco Nero appears as Lancelot at the top... Read review
