Interview With The Vampire

The Next 168 Project spends a lot of time ripping on Brad Pitt's lackluster performance as a glum vampire, which is a shame because we're normally big fans of his work. But, hey, he's the whiny plantation owner who chose to become a whiny immortal. Maybe the character—and the actor—not enjoying his role in these chronicles is justice for owning slaves (and for saying yes to playing this drip of a morally dubious character). At least the inarguably villainous Tom Cruise has a ball gnawing on every human in sight. The true standout here though is a pre-teen Kirsten Dunst. She provides a fantastic glimpse of how good she would be in future roles. Anne Rice's book and Neil Jordan's uneven direction aren't as dazzling as the young actress' performance or the film's production design, but the movie is certainly watchable…despite how obviously Pitt wishes he was anywhere else. So bite that play button and hear us out!

Vampires don't need caffeine or decaf or any of that stuff, but YOU are remarkably human. At least, one hopes. So hit up Sparkplug Coffee and don't forget to use our "top100project" promo code at check-out to score a 20% discount.

Airport

The podcast rulebook says you have to cover a plane movie for episode #747, so I went with the daddy of the '70s disaster craze. The planes are 707s in Airport, but oh well. George Seaton writes & dir...

The Last Laugh

F.W. Murnau didn't live long enough to direct a huge slate of films, but the man bullhorning The Last Laugh also has Nosferatu, Faust and Sunrise on his resume. Like those, The Last Laugh is a silent ...

The Rock

It's as if 007 went to prison for decades, was let out by government guys played by John Spencer & William Forsythe and then he had to help a nerdy Nicolas Cage save hostages on a deserted island. Wel...

Moulin Rouge

The first episode of a non-theme month here in June (and the 743rd overall) gets loud about Baz Luhrmann's bombastic Moulin Rouge. It's the kind of zany project where the director and star of this Par...
