Movie recommendations

[Homer]

Saw "The Road" last friday. Very good but not brilliant as the reviews have been making out i thought. Better than alot of movies it has to be said though.

Is it as grim as the book, the book is fanatastic but very distrubing almost frightening....

Ya, it's a pretty desolate depressing world alright, some of the shots in it  are great. Did justice to be book. Few really shocking scenes were cut from the movie.

That's a bit disappointing. In a morbid kind of way, I think those bits were important in the book to highlight just how desperate and depraved the world had become.

There are plenty left in it that show how bad it had become, one or two really standout ones from what I can remember,the scenes cut involved babies....

What do you recommend doing - reading the book or watch the movie first??

Definitely the book.

Have a good few lined up to watch this week - The Hurt Locker, District 9, Up In The Air as well as whatever else I can download.

You must be single with no weins if you've time to watch 5 films over the weekend! If I see one film a week I am doing well!! 

Was stranded in Belfast over the weekend due to the weather. And with no football on what else was I to do?

Forgot about slumdog millionaire being on just started watchin 5 mins ago - hate not seeing a show from the start - is it too late to get into it??

[pintsofguinness]

[tyrone girl]
