Watching movies is one of my hobby. It maybe to a movie house or from the internet download. Marvin and I had a movie marathon in the past few days. Yesterday we watched Dream House at Gaisano Mall of Davao. We paid Php 130.00 each for the VIP lounge movie house. And in the past few days, we downloaded and watched the Swedish movie entitled The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.
The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo (we watched the original Swedish version and not the hollywood version) is a brutal mystery and suspense drama movie that keeps me captivated from start to end. Although the original language used was that of Sweden, it was dubbed in English in a way that I almost forgot that the characters in the film actually speak Swedish. The dubbing was indeed well-done.
I recommend this movie to all moviegoers out there. It has a hollywood version which also received positive reviews from movie critics. The story is based on the book written by the late Swedish author and journalist Stieg Larsson. The well-woven tale, the casts superb performance especially the character of Lisbeth Salander and the convincing cinematography made it a must-see movie.
Dream House on the other hand is a wonky mystery and suspense psychological thriller that left me confused. It doesn't hold up to close rational scrutiny. There is an intriguing idea in the story but it flattens as it tries to explain the main character's psychological state.This suburban suspense/horror/mystery movie is difficult to comprehend with its badly muddled plot. Well, the only positive review about this movie is the fairly good performance of the main characters. Better let this movie pass up.
