Just came back from "The lake house", a wonderful movie.
How often do you come across an excellent romantic drama from hollywood?
It's a sort of remake of a Korean movie called "Siworae", but "The lake house" is impressive in its own right.

The story is basically a magic mailbox via which 2 persons who live 2 years apart from each other can communicate with each other.
Think "Frequency" but in a romantic drama setting.

Splendid acting by Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves in the lead roles with excellent supporting roles by Christopher Plummer, Willeke van Ammelrooy (yes, Dutch!) and Dylan Walsh.

Of course some people will say it's cheesy, sappy or whatever but I feel sorry for them. They have lost something valuable.
Once I fell into the movie's cadence I simply swooned along.
Add Nick Drake's "Time has told me" to the equation and you just might feel compelled to swoon too...
