    Has anyone seen The Road? Looks interesting. I'm renting it for tonight.

    Great movie. 8.5/10.

    Really heartbreaking look at whats to happen after the downfall of mankind. Viggo and the kid were awesome.

    Apparently The Road is not nearly as gutwrenching as the book, according to some people who read it and saw it. I've been meaning to see it but first I'll require someone tell me whether there is excessive goreyness in it.

    There is not. There is one scene I recall that gave me the creeps a bit, but other than that it is really just tension and a hopeless feeling throughout.

    It's the only zombie movie I've seen where they don't eat brains.

    8/10..entertaining documentary. This guy predicted the financial collapse and has predicted a lot worse in the coming years.

    Absolutely loved it? Interesting. I'll give the movie this much - my wife and I talked about it for a good hour after it was over. And that's rare for a movie these days. But I certainly didn't "love" it. It was interesting, and forced the viewer to figure out "what happened." That's always fun.

    7/10, IMHO

    Loved it in that, it was a thought provoking, creative movie. Not in a way that I feel happy and fuzzy.

    It also made me look forward to a second viewing, which very rarely happens.

    I'm totally with you. I thought the movie was fucking brilliant for the same reasons and after seeing it in the theater I wanted to watch it again immediately. Seemed like a lot of people didn't like it all that much because it wasn't that thrilling and the twist was somewhat predictable. I LOVED it just based on how much it makes you think, the cinematography, the dialog. It was all there for a reason and I could literally analyze and think about it and theorize for days.

    Holy crap. I just finished watching Big Fan and, in a moment of shock, shame, and despair, I have now begun the introspective process of reevaluating my life. :eek:

    It wasn't a GREAT film by any stretch but I really liked it. Certain parts of it made you cringe huh? :grin:

    Some, "Oh god that's me" moments.
