In 1791, plantation owner Louis De Pointe Du Lac is unhappy with the life he has, until Lestat De Lioncourt comes into his life. Lestat, a vampire, allows Louis to make the decision of either death or life as a vampire forever. And until his decision is already made, does Louis realize what he has become. He refuses to take human life and is about to leave when Lestat, being the clever being that he is, turns a little orphan girl into a vampire to make Louis stay. The story is told by Louis in 1991 to an interviewer about the lives of himself, Lestat and Claudia through trouble, death, curse and love over the past 200 years.
I was intrigued by the idea of a vampire telling his story to a journalist and then actually getting to experience the story as it unfolds. It is a lavish tale of plague and death. I was very amused by the fact that he turned a girl(Kirstn Dunst) into a vampire as well. A good movie for women considering the main characters Louis and Lestat are played by Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise. This movie has the whole package and unless you aren't a vampire film fan then you should like this tale of a vampires life. I give it a 9 out of 10.

Reign of Fire
Quinn (Christian Bale) and Van Zan (McConaughey) struggle to survive the fiery attacks of dragons that had been set loose twenty years prior. It is 2020 and there is only a small remnant of humanity to carry on. Quinn is the leader of a castle that is just living on. Van Zan, the leader of an American group of dragon slayers, arrives at Quinn's castle. They kill a female dragon and then move on to London to kill the one and only male dragon. It fails and Van Zan returns to Quinn's castle. The male dragon tracks him down and attacks the castle, devastating it. After this happens, Quinn and Van Zan go to London to kill the male dragon. Van Zan is killed and Quinn successfully kills it, ending the Reign of Fire.
This movie was an awesome story and had a lot of ways it could go and i liked that. But they could have done so much more with it than they did. But all and all it was a decent movie but a let down in the plot department. I did however love the special effects and the acting of the parts that were given because christian bale with a strong accent is fitting. You should give this movie a watch if you are into sci-fi or just think that dragon's vs. technology is a cool idea. I gave this movie a 7 out of 10.

The Warriors
New York City. Home to 7,000,000 people, they work, play, and have fun by day. But at night the city is run by ruthless street gangs such as; The Furies, The Boppers, The Hi-Hats, The Lizzies, The Turnbull AC's, The Gramercy Riffs and The Warriors. One night at an all gangs meeting, the leader of the Riffs, Cyrus, makes a speech and creates a plan to unite all the gangs of the city. One gang strong enough to overpower the police. But suddenly he is shot and a gang called The Warriors are framed by Luther, leader of the Rogues. Now they have to return to Coney Island, escaping from 20,000 policemen and 100,000 sworn enemies. They got one way out. They got one chance. They've got one night. The Warriors.
This movie has been a favorite of mine since i saw the first time on tv and ecer since i have loved it. It is about the strength of one small gang to fight their way back to their home without getting killed because of someone elses doings. I just love the fact that as you watch it you are really transported back to the late 70's when new yourk city was really a shithole and everyone knew that the gangs were everywhere. The music in this movie really sets the tone and the fact that it's an entire cast of nobodis makes it even cooler. I give this movie a 9 out of 10. If you see this movie wait till you hear the part when some one says" Warriors come out and play, Wwwwaaaarrrriiiiooorrrssss come out and pppllllllaaaayyyyaaayyyy!!!!!! you will remember that part forever its hilarious.

PCU
A high school senior comes to visit Port Chester (aka Politically Correct U) for the weekend, and the admissions department mistakenly sets him up to stay with Droz (Jeremy Piven), a seven year student and party-animal who lives in The Pit, the most offensive house on campus. After trying to pawn the pre-freshman off on his housemate (Jon Favreau), Droz sets off on his normal daily activities including disrupting a political protest by throwing meat at a group of vegan protesters. The President of the University then receives a number of complaints, and with the help of her lackey (superbly portrayed by David Spade), she may finally have the power to kick Droz's house off campus. But the Pit throws an all-campus rager where George Clinton and the Parliament Funkadelic performs, and everything might turn out alright if the various political groups can forget their protests for one night and just have fun together.
This movie will make you laugh and think what the hell is wrong with these people. But if you've ever done some crazy wacky pranks in your life than you can relate to these guys and gals. I don't think anyone knew Jeremy Piven or Jon Favreau till this movie came out and not so much after either but it got them a little bit of coverage and one of my personal favs of all time. Heay a movie with david spade and no chris farley that is actually funny and yes chris farley was still alive when this movie was made. I have to say this movie wasn't the best made movie ever btu it has a certain flavor to it that you don't see in most movies today. Plus anytime you get george clinton and parliament funkadelick to be in your movie you have a winner. I give this movie a 9.5 out of 10. See it once and you will understand.
