"Buffy"'s Legacy: "Reaper" (Yay!) and "Moonlight" (Boo!) Oct 5, 2007
The tormented main character of "Moonlight," Mick, begins the season by apparently participating in a documentary, providing answers that would exactly duplicate ones given by Brad Pitt's Louis in Interview with the Vampire. And, just as in that film, one comes away wishing that Tom Cruise's arch and jubilant Lestat were interviewed rather than the incredibly tedious Louis or Mick, both of whom mistake brooding for depth.

The Brave One Sep 16, 2007
Although it follows at least one other revenge tome (James Wan's Death Sentence), the film is directed by Neil Jordan -- a filmmaker who has turned mysteries (The Crying Game) and horror movies (Interview with the Vampire) into delicate depictions of the human condition. So it comes as no surprise that Foster's latest adds up to considerably more than the sum of its sometimes formulaic parts. (IGN FilmForce)

Its the aesthetic of producer Joel Silver the huckster behind such cerebral fare as Predator and the Lethal Weapon series and not Jordan that seems to have sway here. (MSNBC -- News)

"Who wouldn't want to be like Tom Cruise?," she said, referring to his 1994 movie, "Interview with the Vampire: Vampire Chronicles."

Let The Fur Fly: 10 Great Werewolf Films That Aren't 'Teen Wolf' Jan 23, 2007
"The Company of Wolves" (1984) Ten years before taking on another bloodsucker with "Interview With the Vampire," director Neil Jordan adapted author Angela Carter's "The Bloody Chamber," a psychosexual reworking of the Little Red Riding Hood story. Like "Ginger Snaps," "Company" is an allegory about a woman's sexual awakening as she enters puberty, but the (were)wolves in the film are decidedly male: predatory, lustful and untrustworthy.
