Twilight looks god awful to me I really don't wanna see it. PG-13 + Vampires is just blasphemy. Would you still recommend Let the Right One In based on that? I can barely get into foreign language films but the plot sparks my interest.
 
i actually prefer seperate seasons or movies in comparison to boxsets, maybe i'm alone in this?

oh... and can anyone recommend heroes season 1&2? what's the pq like?
 
You guys not gonna wait for a massive 6-season box set? Thats what I'm doing.

Heck no! There's no way I'm waiting another 2 years for something that might (but probably will) come out. I'll take them as they come out! :)

Definitely. The two kids have a nice relationship and you believe it too. And the vampire stuff is excellent and it just has this dreary look about the film. Very well acted and nice cinematography also. I recommend it.

Cool. I might have to put it on my wantlist. Just want to avoid that Twilight crap.

I only mentioned twilight because it is a joke compared to this movie. I actually found the love relationship more believable. I liked the way Guillermo del Toro describes it , " A chilling fairy tale As delicate , haunting and poetic a film as you're ever bound to see"
 
If Del Toro approves I would have to check it out just based on visual curiousity.
 
Got lucky and snagged all of these for $16.60 a piece...all factory sealed.

Grumpy Old Men Coming to Blu-ray
Warner Home Video has announced that they will bring the Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau comedy 'Grumpy Old Men' to Blu-ray on July 7th. Technical specs have not announced at this time, though you can expect the typical 1080p VC-1 and Dolby TrueHD treatment from the studio. Additionally, technical specs have yet to be announced, though we do know there will be a digital copy included.

Fatal Attraction and Indecent Proposal Announced
Paramount Home Entertainment has announced that they will bring Michael Douglas and Glenn Close's 'Fatal Attraction' and Woody Harrelson and Demi Moore's 'Indecent Proposal' to Blu-ray on June 9th. For both films, video will be presented in 1.85:1 1080p AVC accompanied by 5.1 Dolby TrueHD soundtracks.

No special features have been announced for 'Indecent Proposal' at this time, but extras for 'Fatal Attraction' include:

* FOREVER FATAL: REMEMBERING FATAL ATTRACTION
* SOCIAL ATTRACTION
* VISUAL ATTRACTION
* Rehearsal Footage
* Alternate Ending with Introduction by Director Adrian Lyne
* Commentary by Director Adrian Lyne
* Theatrical Trailer
 
It's about time Grumpy Old Men gets a decent release. I never bought the standard DVD because it was released in fullscreen only.
 
My only real complaint is when studios make these announcements for movies but we don't hear anything about the sequels. Why no Grumpier Old Men the same day?
 
It's Tuesday!

They're not supposed to be good. They're just mindless action movies.
