Re: i love lina.. wish she could have a new movie

It is a pity that Lina is not a public person :( . Twenty photos, couple of videos and several interviews. Look at Chloe Grace Moretz (who is yanger by the way): hundreds of photos, tons of video and interviews, website, channel on youtube. And to all - everyone may connect through by the Twitter (...

Re: Using LTROI as an escape from our real lives

Hmmmm. I don't know. You definitely can. For me, I never truly use art, especially film, as escapism if the message(s) is universal or something I can relate to either instantly or by discussion. I use it as a tool to learn and reflect the everyday instances that happen in my life. Then again I stud...

Re: saw this at last.

I mightve liked it better but then again a person shouldnt have to try and forget LTROI to appreciate LMI when it had the benefit of the original for its making. If I sound mildly bitter it is because when I watched LMI I had the distinct feeling that it was trying to get away with fooling people i...

Re: European feel/art house feel?

Yes, it had the potential to be a hit, depending upon the audience's mood. More, Matt Reeves as well as the young leads are all up-and-coming talent. Hammer Studios wanted to come back to making horror movies with a bang, and actually did quite well with this in re-establishing themselves as willin...

Tom wrote:LMI is one of the best films I've seen last year, and for me, it's better than "The Social Network". 8-)

If only Aaron Sorkin wrote the screenplay for LMI I would probably agree with you, but then again LMI might have been totally different. ;)

Re: saw this at last.

Another poster said that one can't blame the actors, well of course you can. The director may have the vision but it's also up to the actor to compromise with how the character comes across on screen. Just because they're kid actors doesn't let them off the hook. Moretz & Smit-McPhee had say on the...

Re: saw this at last.

I felt there was a kind of intangible chemistry between Eli and Oskar that I just couldn't grab ahold of in LMI with Owen and Abby. I question Matt's judgment in casting Chloe for the role of Abby; I'm not sure the part really fit her. Edit : I would add that I really wanted to be pleased with LMI....

Re: European feel/art house feel?

I don't think LMI is necessarily an arthouse movie, but it's certainly artsier than most horror movies that came out of America these days. You know, there are some European film makers and movie critics out there who would consider LTROI a mainstream film. :) LTROI mainstream? :think: That's a fir...

Re: European feel/art house feel?

Can you say it's 'European' because of the pacing and story structure? Many thought the film would've been Americanized (besides the music and color scheme) but it wasn't.
