1. Watched Trollhunter a couple of days ago. It's a "mockumentary" Norwegian movie, about a group of students investigating a mysterious bear killings, but in the end captured more than they bargained for. Being a mockumentary I expected the camera work to be a bit shaky, but surprisingly it wasn't. Nothing much to say about this movie except I thought it was really clever and well done, with its unique storyline (come on, how many movies out there are about hunting down trolls?) although it did received mixed reviews. I have to say though, I never knew how big and enormous trolls really are until I saw this movie. (Theoratically speaking of course, there's no such things as trolls. Mermaids on the other hand, is something the little kid inside of me wants to believe exist)
2. Another Earth is a stunning film, all the way from its acting down to the soundtrack and engaging storyline that really absorbed me right from the moment I hit the button play. From imdb, this film tells the story of an ambitious young student and an accomplished composer crosses paths in a tragic accident on the night of the discovery of a duplicate planet in the solar system. Britt Marling's character truly embodies a young woman feeling detached from society, and about ten to fifteen minutes into the story I was already intrigued by the haunting vibe it gave off. Not in a scary sense, but sort of melancholic. The soundtrack of this film really compliments the storyline, and when weaved together all of it it's a lovely little gem of a movie, and thought provoking too.
3. Not pictured here, but I also (finally) watched REC. I've been putting it off actually, seeing as I already saw the American remake, Quarantine. But a friend recommended I watch it, so I did, and let me say the remake has nothing on it. (I mean duh, obviously) It truly surpasses the remake, about ten times better (of course, being the original) and I wasn't disappointed. Suspenseful, and scary (at times) I really enjoyed it.
