I watched a movie Saturday night that was absolutely haunting, and one that I immediately had to recommend. It’s called “Let the Right One In.” Watch the trailer below and get an idea of what I’m talking about, but keep in mind, the movie is meant to be understood in Swedish and the DVD subtitle guy absolutely dropped the ball from the moment he signed on for the job.
Note: Please do not watch this film in the dubbed format just so that you don’t have to read either, it’s even worse than the already ridiculous translation at the bottom of the screen. Just know that the script is actually as smart as the direction and we all got screwed by not understanding Swedish.
Which kind of makes me wonder, do they just think we’re soooo stupid that we can’t understand the subtle, yet complex, dialog of two twelve-year olds? Well, one of them is actually older than dirt, but she’s got the body of a twelve-year old — her exclusive blood diet must have rendered otherwise standard face moisturizing systems unnecessary — Don’t let the ladies of Orange County in on that little nugget. What am I talking about? They already know…
Watch away. The only word I have to describe the ending is SICNIC. Which I just created. And I don’t even like horror films. At all. But this ain’t your odrinary horror film. It ain’t even your ordinary vampire film. And even though I haven’t seen it yet, I’m guessing it puts Twilight to shame.

I don’t go to movies to work. I go to relax. What happens to those who forget their glasses? Do they have a CVS rac of presciption glasses outside the entrance to the theater?
