Just when I thought there wasn't much more interesting to say about Vampires, a movie comes out of nowhere and blows me away. I am talking about "Let the Right One In," which I tell you you must seen as soon as you can. Frightening, disturbing, and a lot of fun. The spouse and the son joined me last night, the son says it's his favorite movie, ever. I would encourage you not to read about it before hand, if possible. (You probably are way ahead of me on this one. I wonder if you on the East Coast get movies before we do. It is from Europe [Sweden] after all.)
God, those eyes, I can't stop seeing her eyes.
Since I am on the subject, the other new film I have seen is "Rachel is Getting Married," an excellent and very intimate character film which I recommend. Realistic as hell, I loved it.
On the rental front, I finally watched Herzog's "Rescue Dawn." Yes, it is right up there with his other films. This takes place (mostly) deep in the jungle of Southeast Asia. He does jungle-forest stuff so well! There are memorable scenes of the characters (Christian Bale, Steve Zahn) struggling through thick vines and brush that seemingly grab at them, pulling them down, it's alive. Nothing tricky here, no special effects, no false twists, just realism, survival. Outstanding!
