MOVIE MONDAY

Welcome to another Movie Monday!!!

As I continue with my Vampire themes, I would live to share my LOVE for The Lost Boys!!!

In 1987, a cult classic was born onto the movie screen. Jason Patric plays Michael, Corey Haim plays Sam, Jami Gertz plays Star, Corey Feldman plays Edgar Frog and Kiefer Sutherland plays David, the leader of the vampires. The movie was directed by Joel Schumacher.

Michael and Sam move with their mother, played by Dianne Wiest, to Santa Carla, CA to live with their grandfather. Santa Carla is a beach town and the murder capital of the world.

As the movie progresses we see the reason why it's the murder capital of the world, VAMPIRES are among them.

Michael meets Star, played by Gertz, and she introduces him to David, head vamp, played by Sutherland. Sam on the other hand, meets the Frog Brothers, played by Feldman, and learns of Santa Carla's dark secrets, vampires roam this beach side town.

This movie offers a little romance, thrills and of course comedy. The Frog Brothers and Grandpa provide the good punch lines.

I haven't seen it in a while, but when I do, it always amazes me how awesome it is! So, if you haven't seen or heard of this movie, I suggest you rent it!

And here are your daily quotes:

Sam: "Death by stereo!"

Grandpa: "Well, now, let me put it this way. If all the corpses buried around here were to stand up all at once, we'd have one hell of a population problem."

MOVIE MONDAY

I know... I know, it's Tuesday but I was out of the loop yesterday so I'm doing my Movie Monday today but don't worry, Twilight Tuesday is coming up also!!!

So another favorite movie of mine, still deals with vamps! Yep...

I fell in love with Interview with a Vampire (1994) the minute I saw it. Now, I too was on the band wagon about the Tom Cruise shit. I still to this day, think that another actor could have played Lestat better... It's just my opinion.

Anyhoo, this is also when I first fell head over heels with Brad Pitt. Not to mention that another heart throb of mine, Christan Slater, was in it too. YES, I'll admit it, I LOVE CHRISTAN SLATER!!! Heathers, Pump up the Volume, Mobsters? You get my point!!!

Back to Interview, as I like to call it. Neil Jordan took the helms of this awesome movie, based on the book by Anne Rice (she used to live in New Orleans, hence her always writing about vampires, LOL). Tom Cruise ( excuse me while I throw up my lunch) play the vampire Lestat. Joined by Brad Pitt as Louie, Kristen Dunst as Claudia, Stephan Rea as Santiago and Antonio Banderas as Armand.

As for the interviewer, this part was suppose to be originally played by River Phoenix. However, before filming began, he died and was replaced with Christan Slater at the last minute. As a salute to his friend, Slater donated his salary from the movie and royalties to Phonenix's favorite charities

The movie is just what the title is, an interview with a vampire. Pitt's Louis want's his life written for him as he has lived centuries. It starts in present day San Fransisco, with Slater interviewing Pitt's Louis. We learn about Lestat and the life they lived in the 1800 New Orleans. We also learn that even as a Vampire, you can still be pure and not have to hunt humans, as Louis did. He prayed mostly on rats. LOL

If you haven't seen this yet, you need to! Pitt is wonderful, as is Slater and Dunst. Her portrayal of Claudia, a fierce little vampire was amazing. Kinda of a Jane of the 90's!!! Banderas was sinister like his character and always gave me a chill.

I've seen this movie over a dozen times. I know every line, every scene. I also tend to walk by, every now and then, the places they film here. Matter of fact, the home that Louis owned is a plantation not far from my home here. But, no, at the time I didn't know they were filming, so no pictures of him. * sad face forms *

So, my recommendation is for you to watch this movie if you haven't. And if you've seen it before, watch it again. It never gets old!!!

Now, I leave you guys with my favorite quotes from the movie:

Claudia: "I want some more."
Louis: "I'm flesh and blood, but not human. I haven't been human for two hundred years."
Louis: "1791 was the year it happened. I was 24, younger than you are now."
