Anne Rice's novel Interview with the Vampire was a marvelous book, but the movie starring Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, and Kirstin Dunst was even more marvelous. The way the characters and scenery came alive was awesome. And it made me actually like Lestat. So if you have a strong stomach (there's plenty of blood sucking) and like Tom Cruise as much as I do, then go rent this flick, it's worth it.
