Movie Review: The Lake House

My movie partner - Lene - and me.. well we sometimes do crazy things when it came to watching movies. 2 movies back-to-back sessions. Movie marathons of 3 movies in the same day. Hehe..

Last week Monday, we went ahead for a movie session after work. Neither of us give a bloody care if it was only Monday (beginning of work week), or that the next day (Tuesday) we were both working.. I guess you could say that we decided that both of us needed a break from work - well, at least for a couple of hours..

We watched The Lake House. Starring Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves. Place? TGV ler mana lagi hehe...

Hmm.. I've read a few reviews in the newspaper. And more often than not, they sound... negative. However, I refused to be swayed NOT to watch the movie. hehe...

My thoughts..

(1) It can be a bit confusing - as the movie keeps switching between Alex (Reeves) and Kate (Bullock) who happens to live on the same date, only 2 years apart. He's in 2004, and she's in 2006.

(2) The chemistry between Bullock and Reeves were soo good I felt like crying when she gave up (oops! did i give something away? :P)

(3) I actually did cry in a few scenes. Hmmmm... And yes, I saw Lene wiping her eyes too. Hahhaha!

(4) Some plots were a bit hanging - I agree that some questions were unanswered in the movie.

(5) I'd freak out completely if I were in Alex's or Kate's shoes. Able to communicate with someone from the future / past? How freaky is that?!

(6) I think Bullock and Reeves should get together in real life. Hhehehe..

My verdict?
Worth watching.

Of course, me being the hopeless romantic that I am, I'm biased towards this movie. What's not to? It's Reeves and Bullock together. Hehe.. I'm giving it a 7/10.

Honestly, you gotta watch this with an open mind. Many things didn't add up.
Didn't make sense at all.

But then, this is a movie about love.

And when did LOVE make any sense....?
