Let the right one in. 8/10 A nice vampire tale superior to the american version called let me in 6/10

"Let the right one in" is one of the best movies I have seen in the past few years.

The US version woudln't have been so bad if

Spoiler

they didn't do the CGI monster/vampire face thing towards the end.

That part of the US version just made me thing, you have got to be #%$#ing kidding me. I did find it humorous how the US version basically copied it scene for scene almost exactly.

The Swedish (I'm Swedish) version is sooooo much better! The acting 10/10! I don't understand why they remade it. Anyone know why? Money I guess. However the US version was good too, but nothing like the original.
Sweden 1-0 US for this movie! :awe:

Martyrs is amazing. One of my favourites.

I agree! The ending though.. remind me of Resident evil - Licker! :whiste:

 

[KeithTalent]

Totally disagree on Let The Right One In and Let Me In. I like them both equally. There are certain things the US version (some of the acting and some of the cinematography) does better and some things the Swedish version does better (atmosphere specifically).

Both excellent versions of the same story. Very impressive.

Hunger Games - Catching Fire - 7/10

I really like the premise of the movie, and I think it has very interesting themes and symbolism that are very relevant to our world, but it definitely could have been executed a bit better. The acting was a bit wooden at times, and the movie felt quite slow. It was 146 minutes long, and for a 2 1/2 hour movie, not much really happened. Also, some bits left you kind of wondering, "wouldn't it make more sense if..." - a few of the parts felt like they were there for the sake of being there, to move the plot along.

Nice special effects though. I think the movie did a good job of showing exactly what kind of a society Panem really is, which I felt they really could have screwed up. And the whole "strong heroine" thing is kinda hot.

agree on not much happening. some friends asked what i thought afterward and that's what i mentioned to them. it's a long movie but not much actually happens.

Weird, I think I've seen all of the RE movies but I do not recall one that seemed like Martyrs. :hmm: Which one was it?

It's Hollywood and they love their money and given the chance they milk the best movies to pure shame.

Gravity = 6/10

Spectacular special effects, great performance by Sandra but it got boring in a hurry.

I'm never really been a fan of that one. It's well made and everything, but I find it too sappy and cloying. That kind of stuff does not generally sit well with me.

Yeah, just stupid busy with work and holiday crap. Barely have time to nef here.

Two Lovers was awesome. I gave it four on my initial reaction, but I may bump it a half by the time I finally get around to reviewing it.

I haven't read the books, but I think the idea was that the second movie documented what went on in the second book - if that were the case though, they could have just made a slightly shorter movie.
