Movie Review: The Uninvited
Have you seen The Ring and The Sixth Sense? The Uninvited is in the same scary boat with its crawling ghoulies and such. I’ve become a little immune to scary scenes over the years but this movie still managed to make me jumpy enough to hit my teeth with the mug of milo I was drinking.
As in the The Sixth Sense, Anna sees dead people. They’re everywhere (like stupid people). Well almost. They’re mostly in her home and she thinks they’re all trying to tell her that the evil step mother is their murderer.
And like The Ring which is a remake of the Japanese movie Ringu, The Uninvited is a remake of a Korean one called A Tale of Two Sisters. I’ll be looking out for that one too.
Although there are the usual “why the hell would you” moments, it’s a well written story with an ending I didn’t see coming.
Worth a watch if you’re not too wussy, but you might want to watch it with a friend.

Movie Review: Bedtime Stories
If you know Adam Sandler movies, then this is a typical one.
A movie more for kids than adults, although we did watch it with our puppy Fez, who fell asleep as usual about 10 minutes in.
Skeeter finds that the bedtime stories that he and his niece and nephew make up seem to come true. He uses this to try and make life the way that he’s always wanted.
The moral of the story is that if you believe, anything can happen. Unfortunately in the real world this is bollocks. But hey, it’s a positive outlook for those young minds.
Look out for the cowboy dwarves and their miniature horse and cart. Miniature horse – eee!

Movie Review: Marley & Me
This movie was surprisingly good, given it stars Jennifer Aniston, Owen Wilson and a dog.
Marley is a labrador that newly weds Jennifer and John adopt. A forever puppy at heart, Marley is an excellent source for John’s newspaper column, but however Marley is also a test of the couple’s relationship.
It could have done with more puppy scenes but even so, it’s a sweet, playful, teary movie, and Owen’s nose didn’t distract me too much – that’s always good.

Movie Review: Let the Right One In
Swedish vampire movie. Simply it is, but it’s also more than that.
Låt den rätte komma in (as it’s called in its native tongue) is about Oskar, a bullied preteen boy, who falls in love with the girl next door. Eli, the girl next door, happens to be a vampiress.
The coming-of-age story is about curiosity, friendship, loyalty and survival. It’s not your typical vampire movie – don’t expect anything like From Dusk Till Dawn or Interview with the Vampire. It does however still satisfy those fans who want a bit of splatter.
The kids in this movie all seem to have slightly disturbing tendencies, and I’m talking about the non-vampire ones now.
Apart from some scenes that teeter on child p*rnography, I enjoyed watching this movie.
The moral of the story: Don’t bully – especially don’t bully anyone who’s friends with a vampire.
