"The Orphanage" in America. It's more of a mystery/psychological terror movie.. No blood n guts, just stuff that f*cks with your mind.

It's not constant action like in Mad Max, even though the trailer makes it seem like it's action packed. It focused on the relationship between father and son trying to do MORE than just survive in bleak times, and the horrors that people are capable of when things are desperate. And it was so believable.
My advice: don't take your woman with you. My wife was all out sobbing in the car all the way home becuase it was so emotionally heavy.
If Viggo Mortenson doesn't get an academy award for this role I'm going to stab someone.
I'm totally looking forward to this, but just found out that German cinemas will only show it in May 2010. FFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So I'll probably DL it, but I really prefer watching good movies in the cinema. Might also buy the book, anyone read it?

haven't read the book, but from what i heard, the book is better than the movie, and the movie is awesome. i am still very confused to why this movie is not getting a wide release. got to be one of the best movies of 2010. very emotional, breathtaking, and in your face all at the same time.
anyways, saw the 2nd trailer to 'Inception' yesterday.

The Road totally skipped my town, WTF?! No choice but to DL it now, although would've preferred to see it on a screen.
Even more psyched for Inception after seeing that 2nd trailer. Christopher Nolan is the man.
For those who haven't seen it yet, Up in the Air is excellent. A contender for my fav movie of '09.

looks good but you have to go into that knowing it'll be somewhat emotionally draining.

Then Swamper and his entourage of 30, who were all wearing TA monogramed Rolexes, left the room and flew to Hawaii for a few hours because Del wanted fresh coconut.
To his defense, Trump didn't even really look like a bum.

You just think that you don't like books, cause your a lazy fuck. There are plenty of stories out there that would be more pleasurable to read.

That's bollocks. I read a lot and I still think it's bloody hard to see a story that deserves to be printed on a book rather than shown on a film.

The book is heavy. Not a book for the beach. Incredibly quick though - I finished in one sitting. Kind of draws you in with its intensity, and definitely emotionally impacting for some time afterward.
I haven't seen the movie, and am not that interested to be honest because the book is so introspective that I can't imagine how a film would be faithful and keep any sort of visual attention. Very little dialogue in the book, and only one (very) brief flashback. The emotional weight pins on the internalized feelings of the father, and it's strictly only his perspective that is portrayed at all times.
I've heard a few different interpretations of the ending from friends, but I thought it was ultimately uplifting - the only real positive takeaway from an otherwise cold and weighty book.
