Let the right one in: saw it last night and was totally, 100%, utterly underwhelmed - the amount of buzz this film's generated made it even more disappointing. The story of the friendship between the two teenagers is pretty good, and their acting is superb, but that's where the good stuff ends.

Everyone talks about how beautiful it looks - but it's only OK. The story's pretty slow and nothing much really happens for the most part. The first hour the film could have been named "Daily vampire errands". The mundane-ness reminded me of Lukas Moodyson films, but not done as well. I couldn't tell if the black comedy moments that broke the film up a bit were meant, or if it was jumpy / scary moments gone wrong...

Below are the cliches / spoilers that people may miss
Spoiler:
The chick vampire used to be a dude!!!!!!
Her 'Dad' is clearly a previous 'lover'
Oskar is 're-born' in the pool at the end (pulled out of water by a female) - LOL
Oskar's dad is gay - LOL


Overall it got more laughs than shocks, glossed over some risky material from the book (drugs, theft, pedophilia, prostitution) and is probably one of the most over hyped films I've seen. I also spent the whole time waiting for a Lordi cameo.

I know for a fact that when it's released on Amazon it will come with the caption "Customers who bought this also bought..."

I watched What doesn't kill you a true story following the life of two brothers who end up in crime, one being a family man and effects on his life. Quite a long slow movie but I enjoyed it all the same

I watched 'Let's Go To Prison' which I had never heard of ever but it was in a bargain bin in Blockbuster. It also starred the guy who plays Gob in Arrested Development and so I just wanted it for that.

It was a bit...pointless, reminded me of My Name is Earl with the narrative style, but it was just a bit...rubbish.

Still it was something to do for an hour and 45 minutes when I had tonsilitis.

I watched "Crank" last night, it was the very definition of a no-brainer and ridiculously over the top, but pretty watchable, mostly because of the Stath.

I watched "The Strangers" last night and to begin with it was really good. It kept you feeling tense and I didn't get to relax for a good 40 minutes at the beginning, but it got a bit crap in the end.

Crank 2 last night. Ridiculously OTT, hilariously bad.

Probably not a date movie, either.

not
