‘Twilight” was a gagfest; “Let the right one in” is a winner.

Two vampire movies with love and all sorts of tenderness in it.

One involves high school seventeen year olds. The other involves eleven year olds.

I just got back from watching “twilight” and as always, i do have a critics eye for movies. I usually check out rotten tomatoes for the most part. They’re comments usually pick up on what I’d pick on up on. Seeing that it got a 44%, “Twilight” indeed was a gag fest.

much of the acting was strained, and melodramatic. There were only two parts in the movie that convinced me.

And I forgot the first one, So maybe it wasn’t that convincing. The movie is forgettable. Edward should’ve just let Bella turn into a vampire, and it should’ve been over with.

And Honestly, GLITTER?

Asides from the other acting, Carlilse and Charlie stood out as the best actors in the movie. They acted out their parts well and it had a good amount of drama.

Honestly, the movie felt like an afternoon afterschool special, filmed with panavision cameras. I mean, Catherine Hardwicke? She did movies like “Lords of Dogtown”, “Antitrust”, “Thirteen”. She tries to be gritty with her camera work but it just becomes overdramatic and forced. She could’ved toned it down just a little…

it could’ve been like ‘Let the Right one in”

Here’s a trailer:

While watching this movie i was expecting many things. many of the expectation were not met in the good way. Many times during this movie I was plain shocked at how the narrative continued. There was no way it could’ve continued from that point on. The movie did not follow a formula, for the most part.

The thing about this movie…was how incredibly realistic it felt. Its really a coming of age, first child hood “love” sort of movie…it just happens to have vampires in it.

watch let the right one in, any way you can.

This too was based off a book. Lindqvist also did the screen play for the book. one difference between the book and the the movie was the girl was actually a boy in the book…

The book is pretty screwy, to say the least. But anywho, you have to read subtitles for this movie, because i don’t think any of you know how to speak Swedish.

Oh and it just came out last month in sweden, me thinks.
