2 latest movies I've watched
Moon:
Not a bad watch at all. [size=medium]the main problem with this movie is that nothing much really happens. it's got a bit of a "twist" around 1/3 the way through, which i won't spoil here, but suffice to say that the conflict the main character faces is never really urgent, and the dearth of [interesting] characters combines with this to make a fairly dull movie. several important aspects of the film's latter half are also left unsolved/undiscussed, which ends up being frustrating rather than an occasion for further reflection. it ends on a similarly underwhelming and underdeveloped note. the music was fine.
overall i give it 6/10, but wished it could've been better[/size]
[size=medium]Let the Right One In:[/size]
[size=medium]So i got a recommendation from a friend to watch this. I had NO IDEA what i was going to watch when i started it. boy, was i in for a surprise. [/size]
[size=medium]this film is about a kid that gets bullied at school and has no friends or family (his parents are separated and pretty terrible at raising him) to help him out. he meets a girl one night while playing outside who befriends him and helps him gain his courage to grow up. she also happens to be a vampire. now before you guys wail out on me about twilight and all that bull, this is NOT a movie for kids. the kill scenes in it are pretty brutal and the overall cinematography is very suspenseful and creepy.

[size=medium]It's a wonderful film that seems to be getting more recognition. I loved the dark-chilled atmosphere from the beginning to the very end. This is one of those slow burner films that should be watched during a brisk, chilly evening night. [/size]
[size=medium]It get a 8.5 from my behalf, but there was some aspects in the movie that annoyed me. [/size]
