It's not perfect though, the story could do with bit more variation, does repeat itself a bit, going from one kill to the next, and from one fire to another. I hope the next Anne Rice adaptations are not just for the Twilight audiences.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09395044055566348346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7401903779540158679.post-49447986689522929042014-08-14T12:34:33.716-04:002014-08-14T12:34:33.716-04:00Pace has been a busy boy.

Lestat is the key to getting it right from the start. I have seen the first episode of Flash when it leaked online a while back. If you like Arrow you should like Flash. (yes, I am a bad boy) My wife raised Goats for FFA in high school. She even had one she named Dave. This was way before we ever dated. I'll ask if Dave could play soccer.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06208969934278199592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7401903779540158679.post-68424210289438241562014-08-14T12:20:03.261-04:002014-08-14T12:20:03.261-04:00Ha, that's a great idea!

Batman movie is shaping up to be a disaster. Speaking of disasters, weather movies never truly go out of style. We get a terrible one every few years. The key to their success is how big a spectacle they are. Crap like The Day After Tomorrow and more recently 2012 made good money because of their special fx. I hope the Vampire Chronicles gets a proper big screen treatment. You're right, it's a shame how it was handled the first time around. However, on that note, leave my Purple Rain alone!Dellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05634519605152190304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7401903779540158679.post-8318145448725923582014-08-08T21:31:20.064-04:002014-08-08T21:31:20.064-04:00Ha, I know.

QoD was my favorite vampire chronicle, so I was so disappointed with the movie. It really had nothing to do with the book. I just wish they had split it into two different films (vampire lestat and Qod). I could have lived with Stuart Townsend, had it been a better adaption. "Interview" was brilliant and you're right-- it was a very faithful to the novel. I think in no small part b/c Rice herself wrote the screenplay.msmariahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15486729990673366769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7401903779540158679.post-46587987655467572852014-08-08T14:44:39.934-04:002014-08-08T14:44:39.934-04:00Ha, I will probably watch 'Into the Storm'...Ha, I will probably watch 'Into the Storm' eventually as well. But like you I will reserve for Netflix. I remember that DC said they wouldn't do a JLA movie...and then boom, now after the Avengers they changed their tune. They need a serious shakeup at WB and DC. Someone who knows what they're doing needs to take the helm.msmariahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15486729990673366769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7401903779540158679.post-64609276853169297642014-08-08T14:05:40.028-04:002014-08-08T14:05:40.028-04:00Into The Storm looked like the copycat of Twister....Into The Storm looked like the copycat of Twister...and I question it being a found-footage movie when a lot of the helicopter shots look professionally made and not someone trying to document the weather events.

The Vampire Chronicles is one of my favorite series and I maintain that other than - ironically - an exclusion of what was my fav chapter in the book, Interview with the Vampire is the most faithful adaptation I've seen. I'm actually quite fond of QotD - it's a mess, but it;'s an entertaining mess and the soundtrack is flawless. It has almost nothing to do with the books though, a shame, especially since QotD and many of its individual stories could be easily made into fascinating feature films. Let's hope they revive the series with a good effect.s.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13987831438787776712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7401903779540158679.post-80939440197400022052014-08-08T12:36:02.397-04:002014-08-08T12:36:02.397-04:00The goat is probably a better soccer player than m...The goat is probably a better soccer player than me.<br />You're right DC is reactive and running scared. Several years ago they swore they would never do a JLA film. Then along came The Avengers. I'm a big DC fan and a bit bummed as well.<br />They say the special effects for Into the Storm are great, so will watch on NetFlix. If it's really bad, I might even do a play-by-play.Alex J.
