Not havong seen Twilight, I can't say this one is definitively better, but I'd give it ***

"Let The Right One In".

Sweedish import, very thought provoking. Not a laugh in it, but more than a bit of adolescent angst. Playing at one screen in Dallas, the Angelica. Not sure if it's showing in Gritssissippi.

True Blood ain't bad either. Building up to a nice season one finale (hopefully not the series finale)

"Poor People have been voting for Democrats for the last 50 years.......and they are still poor."

So sayeth Charles Barkley

"True Blood" has already begun shooting next year's shows. - J.R. 12:33:48 11/24/08 (1)
It was renewed some months ago; lucky us. I wish some enterprising sort
would do the Mick Farren vampire novels; Guillermo del Toro would be
perfect, after he does H.P. Lovecraft's "At the Mountains of Madness,"
of course. Regards,

  I guess HBO was gonna pull a one and out deal i.e., John From Cincinatti.

Let The Right One In was excellent . . . - townsend 15:53:11 11/22/08 (0)
I too saw it at the Dallas Angelika. I'm no fan of vampire movies, but the extraordinary high number of positive reviews persuaded me to give it a chance.

Most entertaining movie I've seen in the last six months, and I've seen quite a few.

I did laugh briefly, an expression of relief and joy, right at the climax of that final scene. I don't want to give anything away.

Highly recommended for the bloodsucking and non-bloodsucking public alike.
"Let The Right One In" is the vamp movie I've been waiting for... - Harmonia 22:31:59 11/21/08 (1)
...all season.

Not in my city yet :-(

I can't imagine paying money to see Twilight, but I've got a better than even chance of seeing it for free.

  The success of Twilight only insures more film & television opportunities for other teen-angst vampire book series, so you might say my wife & I have a vested interest in checking this one out. :o)
