This week's Thursday Movie Picks is Interview

This week is another tough one. It also seems like I am forgetting a movie that I've watched that will surely end up on everyone's picks.

The Help (2011)
Recent college graduate and aspiring writer returns home to care for her ill mother and decides to interview the black women who worked as the help for the white families in her hometown as part of her book. It's an ok movie for me, I didn't love it like a lot of other people.
 
Frost/Nixon (2008)
It's a dramatic retelling of the post-Watergate television interviews between British talk-show host David Frost and Richard Nixon. I really like this one. I had not seen the original interviews so had come into this unspoiled. It was all very interesting, the lead up to the interview and the interview itself. Sometimes I forget and refer to this movie as Frost vs Nixon because at times it does seem more fitting.

Interview with the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles (1994)
A man is interviewed by a reporter and tells his epic life story beginning in 18th century New Orleans when he was turned into a vampire . How can I not include this, Interview is in the title. Also, it is one of the best vampire movies ever and a favourite.

  1. I have to see Frost/Nixon still and has been on my list for years but love The Help and Love that you chose Interview With the Vampire. I don’t know why I didn’t think of it as I enjoyed the movie and love the book.

    1. I still have yet to read Interview With the Vampire, which I so want to since I love the movie. I think I've also read somewhere that the Vampire Chronicles is being turned into a TV series so I am looking forward to that.

  2. I love The Help. I just can't believe it didn't even cross my mind!

  3. We match on Frost/Nixon! I really like Interview With The Vampire too. The Help I liked a lot when it first came out but I've fallen out of love with it a bit over the years.

    1. I've only seen The Help just the once and I didn't love it as much as everyone else did...just ok for me.
