Apparently Let Me In (2010) is actually a worth remake of the original. Everything I've read on it has been pretty generous, but I still don't think I'm going to see it. American remakes of foreign films have less to do with the director showing his appreciation for the original film and more to do about illiterate motherfuckers who can't be bothered to read subtitles with the obvious exception being The Departed (2006). For me I've seen the original Let the Right One In (2008) and read the book, and I enjoyed getting the view of another culture. Believe it or not but there do exist some Americans (and Canadians) who can actually relate to non-Americans (and Canadians), I just wish Hollywood would understand this.

I won't be seeing 'Let Me In', even if it's a respectable remake it's still an unnecessary one. 2 years after the original, they're making an English language remake.
I've heard it's pretty much shot scene for scene, it's literally a film for the ignorant. And I hate it for that, it's already grossed more money than Let The Right One In and that's a damn shame. The original is sublime, haunting, chilling, beautiful. Why remake it? :confused: |
I don't understand why everyone is so utterly disappointed by these remakes. Even if they are a ****ty version of the original, often times they can be a pathway to viewing the original version. I can't tell you how many times I've seen a movie, found out there was an earlier (and often times much better) version, and eventually checked it out and liked it 10x times better. And of course there are those occasions where the remake might actually stand out more.

It's about time I watch this one. Loved it. And that's the only good enough poster I was able to find... I can't believe people actually prefer this man with the beam of light going out of his face, as poster. |

Good action sequences, engaging enough plot, acting was... ok. Overall it was a decent flick, enjoyable enough. If the other 2 films live up to this one then I'll be pleased. |

Ink (2009) Pretty good little indie fantasy movie. The low budget is very noticeable but the filmmaker still managed to put together an engrossing and visually interesting finished product. |

Although I am regularly pleased that many older/cult titles are released on DVD, I get really annoyed if the artwork has changed especially if it looks like some photoshopped crap but that is a cool poster. You don't change an album cover even if it sucked so the same should apply to movie posters. Horror movies generally have the most cover changes so that's why I loved the early era of DVD's that included the different overseas artwork for the films either as an extra or in the form of postcards in the case etc. |
