I'm conflicted about seeing Let Me In. I find it difficult to hold up to the value of it's predecessor, but I've heard mixed reviews. I might see it if I get a chance, if only because the curiousity of comparing it to the original is intriguing to me.

Today I watched:

- Crash. The other Crash - not the Sandra Bullock/Matt Dillon Crash. The weirdest-smurfing--I've-ever-seen Crash. Before I watched the film I knew a small bit of what it's about: people who are aroused by car crashes. The movie didn't really seem to have a firm storyline, and it seemed to subtley repeat itself over and over every twenty minutes or so minutes for two hours. Almost a little too weird for me, including one horrific scene - (SPOILER)vagina substitute. I don't have a problem with weirdness, though - the lack of a firm and progressing story is what disappointed me in this film.

- Blue Velvet. Third movie of David Lynch's that I've seen, the others being Mulholland Drive and Dune. Mulholland Drive is one of my favorite movies, so I think I unfairly put this one up on a pedestal to compare it to. It didn't measure up to the "what the smurf is going on" feeling that Mulholland Drive gives you, but there was definitely a weirdness and eeriness about Blue Velvet. I was hoping for some more mystery, but I mostly got what I wanted out of it, except for an explanation on how bizarre and erratic Frank's behavior was and more details on what was going on with Dorothy's family. I think that I'd maybe be able to understand it better if I watched the fully uncut version. I quite enjoyed it this one, and it makes me want to watch more from Lynch.
