Yesterday i watched Let The Right One In and absolutely fell in love with it!
Best vampire movie i've seen in a while. Not really scary but amazing all the same. It has this strange sense of innocence about it that just makes you want to keep watching. I loved it. They made an American version of it called Let Me In, and although i still want to see it, i doubt they're going to be able to touch the original. I'm trying to find the book as well, with no such luck. But i'm sure when i find it, given the rumor that the book is way better than the already amazing movie, i'll have a new favorite book to add to the list of favorite books. Yays! :D

Oh, and I just watched Tangled... that was such a cute movie! I loved it. I just loved the fact that the frying pan had such a huge part in the movie. haha.

Laci surprisingly the American version is nearly identical to the Norwegian one, it seems to be made scene for scene and does retain that air of desolation and anxiety.

On a side note I would highly recommend reading the book Handling the Undead by John Ajvide Lindqvist the same author of Let the Right One In. In Handling the Undead he does the same for "zombies" as he does for vampires.

Ooh... thank's Thomas! I may have to check that out!
I hope the American one's as good... i'm still extremely excited to see it but i'm still skeptical. I've already come to the conclusion that the book is going to blow me away. I hope my expectation's of the book isn't too high...

Last night Dee and I watched 'Never Let Me Go'. I absolutely loved it!
Odd... no, scratch that... very odd, but interesting enough to capture my attention. Plus it made me cry. So it had to be amazing. :cry:
So... yeah. I want that book too....

Goodness gal!
I didn't know you cried!

I quite enjoyed it too, but it didn't get me like that... I think the fence part was the more sad part to me haha, and I guess the part when he's laying on the op. table and she looks at him, but maybe that's just because I think he looks kind of cute like that and guys like that always seem more sympathetic to me...

I watched Killer Klowns from Outer Space the other day off of my nostalgia list, and I couldn't stop laughing. As corny and terrible as that 1988 movie is, the effects were hilarious, and I especially loved that little balloon doggy and them drinking the blood from the people in the cotton candy cocoons.
10/10 haha.

Oh abso-friggen-lutely one of the best b-movies ever made it's right up there with Class of Nukem High and Toxic Avenger. Wow I haven't thought of that movie in forever and a day.


As for what I was have watched lately I just watched In the Hands of the Gods it's a documentary about five freestyle soccer players who using their freestyle skills, pay their way to America and on to Brazil in search for Diego Maradona their hero and a great soccer player. I'm not sure how entertaining it would be for someone with no interest in soccer but it was pretty cool to see their journey and how they changed as they progressed.

Oh man, I wasn't born in the 80s, but I sure as heck love so much about them! Especially their movies! Corny b-movies and John Hughes all together.

On the note of soccer documentaries... I recently saw the documentary The Two Escobars which is centered around Pablo Escobar and Andres Escobar, unrelated might I add, and how connected and married the narco drug world of Pablo and soccer world of Andres were conencted. They have extreme effects on each other, and I must say, this is one of the best documentaries I've ever seen.

3. The Last Exorcism- started good, remained good throughout the middle but, my God, that ending, what the HELL??!!. Totally ruined the movie and i never want to speak about it again.
Hmmm I've a feeling the ending ruined it for both of us in different ways. For me I thought what preceded the abrupt ending was fantastic and I wanted to see more of it. Lol but that's me...then again that may very well be you as well.


I just returned from seeing Tron: Legacy and well, it was absolutely average in every way. I do not recommend this movie on any level.

Just saw The Tourist with Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie and i found it very boring and the storyline was ridiculous! Venice looked lovely, as did the lovely Jolie (albeit too thin) but the story came off like a bad The Bounty Hunter, all corny dialogue and slapstick chases....cringeworthy. 4 out of 10.
