Låt den rätte komma in (Let the Right One In), Bolt
Let the Right One In
Eleven-year-old Oskar is regularly bullied by his stronger classmates but never strikes back. The lonely boy's wish for a friend seems to come true when he meets Eli, a 12-year-old girl who moves in next door with her father. A pale, serious young girl, she only comes out at night and doesn't seem affected by the freezing temperatures. Coinciding with Eli's arrival is a series of inexplicable disappearances and murders.
In a time when vampire flicks are high on camp and low on the creeps, this film is refreshingly subtle. So much so that it takes a while for you to realize what's going on. This is definitely not for someone looking for action stunts and gore, but I quite enjoyed it. The relationship just blossoms between the two pre-pubesents in the film, as they find strength in each other. I suggest you catch this before seeing the unnecessary 2009 Hollywood remake. Especially if you've ever wondered what happens to a vampire who enters a home uninvited.
Yesterday Mia and I shopped for Christmas gifts before watching Bolt. I'm almost done shopping for my 4 exchange gifts. :)
Bolt wasn't what I expected, but it was really fun. Many of the jokes are too obvious for adults, but the audience seemed to have a good time. (We caught the 9:45 screening so again, mostly grown-ups.) And Rhino the hamster-in-a-ball is just about the best fanboy ever.
"I'll get a ladder." AND THEN HE DOES. lmao.
Also: huge-eyed Mindy-from-the-network reminds me of
Bebs. Heehee!
Anyway, it's a great movie for those who love cute animals. :D Not at the level of Pixar, but still fun.
