The movie that we'll discuss over the month of April is Let the Right One In! Here is how it works, from now until the end of April you can view this film at any point in time and then come into the thread and discuss it.

Standard rules:

I strongly urge everyone to type out reviews and your thoughts of the film. Engage in discussion and try to expand your knowledge on the film. Look for metaphors, character development, camera techniques, etc. or anything that caught your eye that you would like to discuss. These films has a lot of themes and motifs that can be discussed. Don't be afraid to be the first one to speak out.

As always, be respectful or each others opinions. However, if you strongly feel a way about a film back it up. State why you feel that way and people will respect your opinion. Saying "This movie sucked!" isn't really going to convince people that you know what you're talking about. Talk about it in detail. Same goes for why you liked it.

-----------------------------------------

This is a great excuse for me to go out and finally buy this movie. I've watched it two times now but never bought it due to the subtitles fiasco. Anybody know where I can buy the Blu-ray w/ original subtitles?

Oh and CZAR, you better watch this with subtitles and not a dub.
