The Wolves of Kromer (1998)
A sweet unconventional fairytale, kind of lacking.
Gay werewolves? emmmm ... a likely story. Though their shabby fur coats and sewn on tales, definitely shows that this film didn't really have that big of a budget, but its not totally unbelieveable considering the werewolves are suppose of be symbolic of gay males, and not actual monsters.
I'd recommend this film if your looking for a little eye candy, as the two main characters (Gabriel and Seth) aren't too bads on the eyes, considering their both male models! Which generally explains why they were a little lacking in the acting department.
In truth the two old ladies creep the hell out of me, especially Fanny, but there performance was a little better than the wolves, though they don't shine a very nice light on lesbian's.
This is going to sound really bad, but my favourite part was the credits. But only cause they look sooo gorgeous! But I don't want to give too much away.
To sum it up:-
Acting: 5/10 Costumes: 4/10 Plot: 8/10 Eye candy: 10/10
Queen of the Damned (2002)
Did the scriptwriter even read the book???
I was shocked beyond belief at the mockery they made of this film, I have come to the conclusion that the scriptwriters didn't take the time to read, Anne Rice's fine novel 'Queen of the Damned', and instead pulled together what they could from the back cover. There is not one scene that has remained fateful to the book, and even the characters have been horribly concocted. What shocked me further was the fact that Lestat (Stuart Townsend) didn't look remotely like how Anne Rice describes him. They didn't even bother to give him blond hair! Which has always been one of his most defining features. Though the most tragic part would have to be, how they completely butchered out 'the twins' story, especially as this was the backbone to the whole storyline! *sigh* All in all, I wish they had brought back Tom and Brad, as the original 'Interview with the Vampire' was a considerably better film, and I'm sure Tom Cruise could have pulled off being a vampire rock star with out making it a tribute to the MTV generation.
