here i am watching another jean reno movie called '22 Bullets' or 'L'Immortel' ... happily it's all guns-a-blazing, blood and gore kinda movie. orait wat!
talking about movies... (too bad the 'image' button is missing from blogger today)
i was just reading about the hollywood remake of Let the Right One In, which was a brilliant Swedish movie released in 2008 - this is the kind of movie which deserved an immediate second viewing (and a third, and a fourth...) just to clear up some of the nuances which we don't pick up on the first round.
Brilliant is an understatement here... we even went to the bookstores to get the book but it was all out. Too obscure i suppose, or there are more fans of the movie out there than we expect.
It's the kind of movie that's full of ambiguities, and the ending will leave more questions than the movie ever answers. Simply good stuff.
NOW with the US version, which was shot in Sweden i believe, i am sure they're gonna mess it up even it if was a frame-by-frame remake. Called 'Let Me In' and starring the phenomenal Chloe Moretz (dont we all love her in Kick-Ass), i am sure it will have its merits, but... being a dumbed-down hollywood version for the masses, it will disappoint fans of the original.
the surprises, the twists, the blurred and complex relationships present in the swedish version, just won't sit well with the moral majority...
well we shall wait and see to come up with the final verdict.
a tip - sweden makes some fine movies...
