Nochnoy dozor (2004)
Way to go, Russia!
I have to say that I was positively surprised by this movie. I saw the trailer for the American release recently and shortly after that I realized that the movie was already released in Russia and I managed to get a copy of it. My first impressions of the movie were completely from the trailer, which gave me a kind of matrix-feel to it.
The movie itself was extremely amusing and satisfying. I have no knowledge of Russian and the English subtitles were a bit confusing at some points but the effects of the movie was really great and the story had a lot of good argument in it. Sure, I have to admit that there were some pieces that I didn't really put together until the end but I can't wait for the next part of the trilogy.
Way to go, Russia!
Shutter (2004)
great - but no revolution
I saw this movie in a theater in Bangkok. This is the seventh Thai movie I have ever seen, and by far the best of them all.
I heard a lot about the movie at the time and just had to check it out. I'm not going to spoil the story, although I must say that it is quite smart, with the exception of a few scenes. The ending is somewhat of a puzzle and the road to solving it was very enjoyable indeed. I think everyone who likes movies like "The Ring" and "Ju-on" should check this one out, actually, if you like horror movies that should be enough to check this one out.
I heard that it has a DVD-release and I encourage everyone who likes horror to check it out! I also must warn people. Before I saw it I heard a lot about how amazingly scary and horrifying it is. It wasn't the most scary thing I ever saw, i must say. But it's still a good movie.
My grade is 8 out of 10.
