WHY have I never heard of this movie?

JCVD: Jean-Claude van Damme, as Jean-Claude van Damme, goes mad and takes hostages.

And now I must see it.

I have heard about the movie. I'd really like to see it too.

How did this slip by me? Damn.

[mrbankies.livejournal.com]

I read about online this past weekend. Entertainment Weekly, maybe. Sounds interesting.

[allysonsedai.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's in EW. Inexplicably, they gave it an A- rating. Who knew?

[bellacrow.livejournal.com]

I just saw the trailer for this friday night. MUST SEE IT

[ladyfox7oaks.livejournal.com]

Because it only JUST was released?

Normally you hear about movies MONTHS in advance! Sometimes years!

This one *is already out*!

[ladyfox7oaks.livejournal.com]

True, it did sort of sneak up on us... But then- it seems like VanDamme has been keeping a low profile for several years now.

Given that it's a French-Belgian production, maybe not so surprising.

Eg, when did you hear about Let the Right One In?

About 15 seconds ago!

What is it?

A Swedish vampire flick, that premiered a few weeks ago and have gotten rave reviews for injecting new blood into the genre.

I see what you did there...

Some of us noticed it awhile ago...

It was apparently started without him but he found out about it and insisted that he play himself.

Apparently, he does something approaching acting in this one, too. Like, an actual performance with artistic merit.

And not just the splits, as has been his usual wont.

It is playing at the Bytown around the end of nov/beginning of dec. I can't remember which days, though.

Sweet!

Saw it at the TIFF.

As glorious as you think it is.
