Movies

I don't know about you but I totally want to see this movie...
Let the Right One In (Låt den rätte komma in) is a Swedish film which depicts the relationship of a lonely twelve year old boy, Oskar, who befriends a strange girl named Eli who also happens to be a vampire. And hilarity ensues. Just kidding. It's not a comedy. It's a drama I believe, but dammit, the limited run is over so I'm going to have to wait for the DVD release. I'm all about creepy and atmospheric films.

Here's the trailer


On Wednesday, Bert and I plan to see Slumdog Millionaire at Hillcrest's Landmark Theatres after having lunch and dessert at the fairly new Mille Feuille. We haven't seen a flick at the Landmark in awhile and I miss going to Hillcrest... Upcoming post on the film and the restaurant...

Check out the trailer:


"Slumdog Millionaire" received rave reviews and the trailer looks amazing. I didn't realize that the co-director is Danny Boyle ("28 Days Later", "Trainspotting", and "Shallow Grave"---damn, that last movie was fkn twisted). Now I'm really curious to see it since his work is so good. Besides "Little Ashes", there aren't a lot of movies I'm looking forward to in 2009. Oh wait, Harry Potter nerd that I am, "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince"!!!

For the Twilight freaks out there, Chris Weitz has signed on to be the director for "New Moon", the sequel to "Twilight". People, this was the director of "American Pie" for fuck's sake. However, I did like, "About a Boy" (side tangent- Marcus, the little kid in there is Nicholas Hoult - who plays really twisted character Tony Stonem in the hot BBC series, "Skins", my latest obsession -like a British "Gossip Girl" but waaaaay less shallow and materialistic. More drugs and sex!). There's rumours that Weitz may replace babyfaced Taylor Lautner's Jacob with another actor. I saw on a few fansites that this actor named Michael Copon will play the older Jacob.

Oh Hell to the No! He's not even Native American! That guy is Filipino. I'm Filipina American and as much as I'm all for my ethnicity representing out there, I seriously don't want that dude playing Jacob. He can't act worth shit! Ex-Power Ranger? A Cheerleader in an inferior "Bring It On" sequel? (shakes head and sighs)...I really hope the movies aren't fkd up by the new director and actors...
