I want to but being a parent means I ended up getting to see 'Alivin and The Chipmunks' in the theater instead. <BR/><BR/>Talk about sould crushing horror.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09492062472206579391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8470604276410220159.post-79814172848202584032009-01-25T18:11:00.000-05:002009-01-25T18:11:00.000-05:00I can't tell you how disappointed I am that it's i...I can't tell you how disappointed I am that it's ineligible for the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar. Such a backwards nomination system. Apparently, the Academy can only consider the film(s) the government of each nation deem worthy of submitting. So naturally, politics, personal tastes and biases (in this case, anti-fantasy) come into play. A real shame that the Academy isn't allow to consider any foreign picture it chooses.B-Solhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10717121313061173603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8470604276410220159.post-55665533934201464352009-01-25T02:34:00.000-05:002009-01-25T02:34:00.000-05:00Let me also add my voice here to the chorus of peo...Let me also add my voice here to the chorus of people that loved this film. Being a horror movie fan is sometimes like standing on a street corner and asking random passers by for a lap dance- you never know what you're going to get but you don't dare even hope for something good.<BR/><BR/>‘Let the Right One In’ (along with ‘Mulberry Street’, ‘the Strangers’ and ‘The Orphanage’) really re-invigorated my enthusiasm for the genre.<BR/><BR/>I actually caught ‘Let the Right One In’ at a local movie house in the afternoon on the last day it was being shown. I was the only one of three people in the entire theater and the move had us under its spell in a matter of seven minutes.<BR/><BR/>Hopefully more gems like this will be popping up this year.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09492062472206579391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8470604276410220159.post-77405039143909683862008-12-30T12:47:00.000-05:002008-12-30T12:47:00.000-05:00Dr. Forbin - you can watch DVDs encoded for other ...Dr. Forbin - you can watch DVDs encoded for other regions on your computer, if it has a DVD drive.

I also adore coming-of-age stories. <BR/><BR/>I just got my copy of the book yesterday and am content to wait to see the film when it arrives on DVD next year. I bet the book is awesome too. <BR/><BR/>Peace,<BR/>AAlana Noel Vothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15678764751722565458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8470604276410220159.post-66571027914860385202008-12-29T14:43:00.000-05:002008-12-29T14:43:00.000-05:00I got to stop reading these reviews B, every time ...I got to stop reading these reviews B, every time I do I want to see this film more and more!

Not only is it the best horror movie of the year, I don't think it is an exaggeration to say it is probably in the top 5 horror movies of the last decade.
