Film 270/365, Day 299/365 – Interview with the Vampire

Dark, sinister and captivating.  There are excellent performances from all involved in this gothic tale of companionship and indulgence.  The vampires are twisted, devious and brazen, not the least bit sparkly and loved up!  An excellent story that is full of thrill and excitement that is well worth watching.

Synopsis:  A reporter is approached by a man who claims to be over 200 hundred years old.  Soon he is revealing his past, how he became a vampire, how he has survived and all about the secret underworld that exists all around us.

Film 148/365, Day 158/365 – The Chronicles of Riddick

Excellent science fiction, non-stop action and Riddick.  And let’s face it, it is all about Riddick, the story could be as lame as you like and Riddick would carry it because he is such an excellent character, he kills a guy with a tea cup!  Thankfully however the story is quite good.  I can’t wait for the next Riddick film to be made as rumours seem to have been flying around recently.  Riddick kick’s ass!

Synopsis:  An old friend from the first film leaves a trail for Riddick to follow and when Riddick arrives he finds himself in the middle of an invasion by a crusading force that is travelling across the universe.  Needless to say Riddick gets himself noticed and has the crusaders chasing him along with some mercenaries looking to make some money.
