Oh yes.... you'd like her. ;)

Moonrise Kingdom: Finally got round to watching this and I can happily say I was not disappointed. There feels like a subtle restraint to this movie in terms of cinematography and supporting characters, which works beautifully in allowing the main story to flow. While the characters are still quirky and familiar to any fans of his movies, the quirks and eccentricities dont overpower what is a really beautiful romance. The two kids are amazing and despite a huge wealth of acting talent on display the two young leads more than hold their own. Anderson is an expert at creating extraordinary characters and situations and injecting a familiarity that brings his movies to life. It's probably not his best movie and certainly not his funniest, but its still an incredibly endearing story and hard not to love...... Bob Balaban taking the role of the 'narrator' was quality too, dude is a total legend!

Watched the Total Recall remake too... Shite.

I can't deny the overwhelming sense of inevitability when I resigned myself to giving it a chance. :o

Watching hollywood remakes is my chosen method of self flagellation. :eek:

Isolerad aka Corridor (2010)

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p...ps3baef8f6.jpg

Medical student Frank lives in a fine little flat, a quiet place to focus on his coming stressful exams. One day the curious, lovely girl on the upper floor rings the doorbell. In spite of his unwelcoming attitude she keeps coming back, more and more often. Things don't seem quite right between her and her mysterious biker boyfriend (Peter Stormare) and over the course of a few intense days, everything turns into a horrifying vision of the bloody consequences of solitude.

This is not something like Polanski's The Tenant but still a highly enthralling beautiful psychological thriller from Sweden. Loved the way they kept it so tight & interesting till the end while the premise or story was so simple but entertaining to watch. I think a major credit also goes to the young actor on the lead who delivered a convincing performance on a regular, believable, lonely-'coward' guy.

Great.

Yeah...for the synopsis it actually lot sounds like Naboer aka Next Door (which I loved too) but this Swedish Indie gem is far less complex or twisted than any other 'Apartment-Horror' thriller with similar premise. The thing I liked mostly about it is how they still managed to pull it through so intense & tightly while there is nothing actually "so much" psychologically twisted things going around. This is more of a story about a regular douchebag & how he/she reacts in a series of suspicious neighborhood disturbances where you'll even get little bit of Hitchcockian flavor at the end.;)

What better way to spend Valentine's Day than a bit of bloody valentine goodness? The remake might be better than the original, but nothing can beat the charm of the 80s slasher, and those wonderful visual-prop effects.
