If I dont blog this, I'll probably die of ... I dont know what it is. Anyway, people have cravings. Right? A mug of perfectly brewed coffee, vintage wine, fine dark chocolate, freshly plucked strawberries, sunrise, fresh air, cigarettes [famous among archi students], even a sizzling hot pot of bahkutteh. [okay. thats a little too far.]
So, a couple of months ago, I was google-ing. Basically on random stuffs that pops-up to my mind. A song I heard from the radio which I do not know its title; an actor I saw the movie but have no idea who his or her name is. Anything you name it. Soon after I watched The Curious Case of Benjamin Button - I went googling. Old movies that Brad Pitt was acting in. Somehow, I have this soft spot for vampire-related movies. As old as Dracula, to the Underworld 3. [fyi, the older the better. Maybe its because of the classical setting.]
Call this crazy, but I once waited for HBO's showtime in the midnight [around 3am?] in my relative's house. My home, do not subscribe to HBO. So, have to lah. ^^ Such a pain in the a$$ for my dad that time. He knew I love to watch movies.

Anyway, back to this vampire thingy. As I was browsing, I read this - Interview With The Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles. Brad Pitt starred, with Tom Cruise. Call that vintage. It caught my eye because I have never seen this movie in Malaysia's HBO channel. [fyi, Its banned here] The movie is made from Anne Rice's novel series - The Vampire Chronicles. Somehow, I managed to source this movie from a friend's house, and borrowed. Not sure where she bought the DVD. It doesnt look appetising at the first glance - something went wrong with the poster. It looked more like a horror movie. But it's more to a sad, sinful vampire romance. You are absolutely right, I'm so feeling don't want to return it now. :'(
To enhance the vampire-nesses of the movie, I watched it in the midnight. ^^ Sadly, my sis went to a camp, only will be coming back on the coming Tuesday. Will watch it again for the 100th time? LOL ... Brad Pitt have this masculine face and jaw line, which somehow it softens when you see in his velvety eyes. He plays a vampire in this movie, with a human heart. See the irony? He is passionate, loving, strong but emotionally fragile at the same time.
What surprises me is Tom Cruise. Call me a bias. The face of Ethan Hunt pops up whenever I think of Tom Cruise. It sort of imprinted his image as the multi-talented super spy agent. I have always liked action packed movies, but more towards Daniel Craig's 007 and Bruce Willis' type. He just looked so.. fragile to me.
Anyway, he stars in this particular vampire movie as well. Lestat, is the character's name. He should have carried this line along his career and make it his icon, like how Johnny Depp did with Jack Sparrow. The bold, enthusiastic, defiant arictocrat vampire... I've gotta tell you, I'm really impressed.
It feels like you are watching a piece of art, how he manipulate the minor details in the emotions and gestures. Its classic! With those satin smooth blond curls, translucent sea blue eyes, alabaster skin over the slender fingers with glass like nails holding a glass of wine, how could you resist him? And, the killing French accent.
Okay.. and Surprise no.3, would be Kirsten Dunst.
Yeah, the Spiderman girl. Remember? She plays the little vampire in the movie, 'daughter' of Lestat & Louis - Claudia. She's probably the only girl spent time romantically in a movie with BOTH Cruise & Pitt at the same time. Jealous? Cry lah~ LOL
and the Ultimate Surprise!! Antonio Banderas is in the movie too!! Let the picture tell you how elegantly dangerous is he in the movie. ^^
No words can describe this.
P.S : Kill me bah!!!
