Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves rejoin forces at a fraction of the "speed" (actually at two years lag) in The Lake House, a remake of the Korean movie "Il Mare"(or Siworae - seen both on the web). Alas, one more true love that wasn't meant to be...or was it? Judging by the production photos the two do actually meet (and even embrace). But that's only speculation, which is exactly the point of the trailer.

The trailer starts with a grossly melodramatic monologue by Bullock which is recited so haltingly, I was very turned off. However, it did win me over with the "tree gimmick", an eloquent illustration of how this time warp works. Thereupon it plunges into emotional meltdown, with that ever-looming question - "are these lovers doomed?".

Verdict - Though the concept intriguing, can enough dramatic tension be created between two people who can't even talk on the phone (and yes I do know couples who met by web) or will this dreamy movie lull you to sleep?
