Hi on a beautiful Sunday afternoon in NOLA, from Joe B
Being a huge fan of the Swedish 2008 "horror" film, "Let the Right One In," I
approached its American remake, "Let Me In," with some trepidation, despite the
excellent reviews. These partially-read notices and positive comments from
fellow fans of the original helped me decide to approach the film with an open
mind.
Nothing to fear (except in the movie!)! "Let Me In" is absolutely superb and
easily the equal of its illustrious predicessor! The two young actors are
simply marvelous, as touching as the originals. I highly recommend a trip to
the theatre for this one.
Better go quickly as it only took in $5.3 million bucks as of Sunday afternon
and should leave the multiplexes within two weeks. I guess with its "R" rating
and without any "Team" to root for that the vampire-loving public of today
stayed away....and, selfishly, I'm glad to not have had to contend with
texting, squalling teens and pseudo-grownups.
I figured the best way to avoid any interruption from other patrons would be to
attend today's (Sunday's) first showing which coincided with the playing of the
latest New Orleans Saints game in the Superdome (and on tv). How right I was!
There were about 10 people in my auditorium and a handful still in the
multiplex when I left.
I was able to enter my auto in time to hear the Saints squeak by for a 16-14
win.
Joe
