4p BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA Has any moviemaker showed such crazy ambition with even a genre horror adaptation as this as Francis Ford Coppola? Bram Stoker's Dracula is often considered one of the very best of Coppola's post Apocalypse Now work. Coppola an screenwriter James Hart work to adapt the original Dracula novel as it reads. This includes the epistolary structure of different voices, different narrators, and including many characters who often don't appear in other Dracula adaptations. But what blows one away when one sees this movie is its visual adventure married to go for broke performances, especially from Gary Oldman as the blood sucking count himself. Coppola and team make this work really an aching theatrical piece about romantic love and yearning. Add to that that ALL special effects here are done with practical effects and you get a movie of near SILENT FILM power. Plus world class cinematographer Michael Ballhaus makes sure everything pulses with cinema. A must see. PLUS unveiling of a special Frederick Cooper work just for SMC after screening.
7p UNDERWORLD . Before there was Twillight, there was Underworld. Kate Beckinsale plays vampire Selence who hunts Lycans (werewolves) before she falls in love with human Michael Corvan (Scott Speedman) who gets bitten by a Lycan and well. . .girl's gotta make a decision. Kill or love? The story takes its cues in a very clever way from Blade Runner and offers several wonderfully juicy supporting performances from the likes of Michael Sheen and Bill Nighy. Nobody saw this movie coming and when it became a (forgive the pun) monster hit it launched an entire franchise. And may have unintentionally launched a young adult vampire/werewolf franchis as well...Come have a blast watching this early 2000's action horror movie in a movie palace. PLUS unveiling of a special Frederick Cooper work just for SMC after screening.
930pm INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE. Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt in the same movie?! Tom Cruise playing an anti-hero vampire? Indie world cinema director Neil Jordan adapting Anne Rice's best selling first novel of her vampire series with sly and subtle homoerotic overtones? A young Kirsten Dunst as a vampire still trapped in the body of a girl? Antonio Banderas, Christian Slater. . .
Interview with the Vampire is one of those big budget studio oddities that is fascinating to revisit and enjoy. Everyone is game here includng an always 200% Tom Cruise who plays the anti-heroic yet charismatic and roguish lead vampire Lestat with the ferocity of an actor who wants to prove he can do anything.
Jordan does an admirable job balancing his vision of tortured sexuality and identity with the dictates of a vampire movie that has to deliver the goods. Young Kirsten Dunst becomes a star in this movie and several scenes still horrify thirty plus years later.
Let's end the night by revisiting one of the strangest and boldest studio bets of the 1990's.
