My Number One Favorite Film

Rating: 10/10 (11 July 2008)

Interview with the vampire is by far my all time favorite movie. With outstanding acting, effects, and writing. Tom Cruise proves he can act with the best of them when he takes on the right material. Cruise gives a devilish performance as the monstrous Lestat. Brad Pitt, Kirsten Dunst, Antonio Banderas, and Christian Slater are excellent. This movie delves deep into the truth behind a vampire's fierce eyes and pale skin. This film makes you see things from the point-of-view of a character normally portrayed as the heartless villain. this film should have received more recognition by the Academy than just two nominations. Cruise and Dunst should have received nominations for their performances as Lestat and Claudia. The Writing, Make-up Effects, Art Direction, and Score are definitely award-worthy. I strongly recommend this film.
