  My Best Friend Is a Vampire 1987

  ★★★ Watched 15 Mar 2025

  What better way to vanquish an enemy than to make him an ally?

  Quirky, Fun and Wild
  
  This was an amusing and enjoyable film with a nice premise. I initally decided to watch it for Robert Sean Leonard, but I ended up having a pretty good time. I loved Ralph (played by Evan Mirand) and his sense of humour; his comedic timing was unmatched and overall he carried the film. I wasn't a big fan of Darla, who was played…

  The Holdovers 2023

  ★★★★★ Watched 15 Mar 2025

I loved the cinematography and warm colour grading though, as it gave the film a wistful and dreamy feel, and…

  Interview with the Vampire 1994

  ★★★★½ Watched 12 Mar 2025

  The world changes, we do not, there lies the irony that finally kills us.

  Gothic, Haunting and Seductive
  
  Wow. I had high expectations going in but I was spellbound from start to finish.

  The only iterations of the original source material I'm familiar with are What We Do In The Shadows and the spin-off show, so I wasn't sure what the story was going to cover; I ended up absolutely loving it. The pace was slow at first, but once…
