Interview with the Vampire (1994)


I have a love-hate relationship with Tom Cruise. I just love to hate the guy, whether he is Trapped in the Closet or embarrassing white people on BET, he drives me nuts. Honestly, with all the wives and braces and Scientology he is getting weirder every day. Tom Cruise is like the white Michael Jackson and I wouldn't be surprised if he starts turning black any day now.


On the other hand, I also hate to love the guy but he did star in Born on the Forth of July and Top Gun--a couple of pretty decent films.


Tom Cruise is also my only excuse for waiting 13 years to see Interview with the Vampire. No suprise, I absolutely loved and hated the movie. Brad Pitt is cool as shit as usual while Kirsten Dunst gives the best performance of her career. I just couldn't get behind Tom's blood sucking performance, it seemed way over the top and annoying to me. You could say he really jumped the couch. Definitely a vampire genre must see but if Dracula isn't your thing then I would pass it by.

3 stars out of 5
