The Queen Of The Damned (R)
Vampire schmampire. I've never been a fan of bloodsucker films. Lestat (Stuart Townsend) reawakens and starts a goth band. His lyrics anger other vampires who then come after him. It turns out that there are "good" vampires and "bad" vampires but it seems that both kinds kill mortals and each other. I actually enjoyed this cheesy film a bit so any fan of this style will certainly be entertained. Also starring Lena Olin, Vincent Perez, Marguerite Moreau and singer Aaliyah who died in a plane crash shortly after this motion picture was filmed. 101 minutes.
The Quiet American (R)
Set in French Colonial Viet Nam circa 1952, The Quiet American is the engrossing story of two men, living in Saigon, who are in love with the same beautiful woman. Watching this film, the audience gets a real feel for the beauty, intrigue and danger of French Indochina and its people. All's fair in love and war. It's a pity that hundreds of thousands of loud Americans will see Old School and very few will see The Quiet American. Starring Michael Caine, Brendan Fraiser and Do Thi Hai Yen. 101 minutes.
