Dream House (2011 Jim Sheridan)

Not, thankfully, one of those silly haunted house shocks and eerie children singing type numbers, plot throws a most confusing bowl a third through that then turns it into something entirely different. In fact I'd love to watch it from the beginning again, this time paying more attention to that odd opening scene at the publishers.

Daniel Craig is charming with real-life sisters Taylor and Claire Geare, Rachel Weisz and Naomi Watts are the women, and Elias Koteas and Martin Csokas are both familiar to us from here and there as bad guys.

The ending though is slightly loopy, as Craig runs back into burning house to recover his hair dryer (well, something like this, anyway).
