Lake House, The
An architect and a doctor correspond by letter and fall in love at the lakeside house both occupy - two years apart. Time-travelling romance starring Speed co-stars Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves
Judging from the recent barrage of US remakes of Asian horror movies, you'd be forgiven for thinking Japanese, Hong Kong and Korean cinemagoers only watch films that feature spooky kids with bad hair.

No creepy kids populate The Lake Billet and the not dicky hairstyle is Sandra Bullock's feather cut but if this reworking of Korean love history Il Mare proves anything, it's that Hollywood can churn out uninspired retreads from any country and any character. Ironically The Lake House comes unstuck by attempting to increase and on its somewhat limited source statistics. The sweet-natured Il Mare clung like a steadfast puppy to its turbulent-concept hypothecate: a team a few fall in paramour by simultaneously living in the same house and literature let...
