Watched The Lakehouse, which stars Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock, yesterday with my mom and sister. As planned, we watched it twice. We're already at the cinema for the first screening hour and then went again on the 2nd screening. My mom can't get enough of Keanu, that's for sure, that she watched it again today with her friend from her previous work. She's still planning to watch it with her other sets of friends. she won't stop until it's been replaced by a new one. 

                               

Anyways, I'm glad that Hollywood remained true (for a change) to the original film, Il Mare - a korean film with Jeon Je Hyun and Lee Jung Jae, where it was based. Well, they did modify some of the characters' background as well as added a few scenes and stoylines.

As a whole, I was not disappointed with the Hollywood adoptation of Il Mare, and I'm glad I wasn't. I like Il Mare from the time i've seen it about a year ago and I was actually a bit hesitant to watch the Hollywood version since Hollywood is notorious for, how should I say it nicely, adopting something but totally changing it, just like The Ring. And just what my mom said earlier, it's good that they had Keanu Reeves. I mean, I know that a number really don't like him and the way he acts, but we must admit that he's a total hottie and really popular. I'm no big Keanu-fan, as what I said from my past post, but I always watch his film. He acts fairly ok. I liked him from the time he played Neo in Matrix. And to those who hasn't seen the original version, I recommend that you guys watch it. Not for comparison purposes or whatsover but it's always good to see the orginal one, right? And oh, I actually ripped the insert songs from Il Mare from a long time ago. It's really a good one. I also like the songs from The Lake House. I hope to see a copy on our music stores here from where I am.
