Byzantium

Secret vampire society, no girls allowed.





Retelling, can walk in daylight, no sparkles, everyone out to get them, etc.
Lovely costumes during the back story bits, bleak scenery of winter in the English seaside, love, loss, greed, redemption.  I thought the ending a little too pat, as though they had an alternate but those crazy Americans in the test audience wanted a happy finish.   Saoirse Ronin was amazing as usual.  And I could watch Gemma Arterton in anything.

Hodejegerne (Headhunters)

Little movie from Norway about motivations and miscommunications...











It's convoluted and fun and you won't mind the subtitles.
