I liked it, but thought some of the plots took away from the movie. I mean, they could have easily done away with Marisa Tomei's character altogether.

What is pretty cool is that Cormic McCarthy came up with the story for The Road based on how it felt to be a father of a new born at 70+ y/o. He knows he won't live to see his child fully grow up, and won't be able to impart life's lessons upon him.

I watched "The Road" last night.
If you like movies where you feel like jumping off a cliff when it's over this one is for you. I felt better after watching ****ed up movies like "Antichrist". Good movie but damn, it's soooo dark and depressing in such realistic ways. That's definitely a one time watch for me. |

Antichrist was pretty intense.. the boulder to the dick shot -- and what happened shortly after -- really stayed with me.

You can read the book fairly quick, I think. It's not very long. It's listed as 256 pages on Amazon, but the copy I read has the margins so wide the text was only like half the page.

The Road was awesome, i didnt really care how the cataclysm happened, it was what the world devolved to that made it interesting.
'Why dont ya'll come down ta the truck & getcha selves sumpin ta eat?'... there was some scary shite in that movie. Watched a great German made movie the other night called 'As Far As My Feet Will Carry Me', a true story about a German soldier captured by the Russians & sent to Siberia to die in the coal mines. But he escapes & manages to travel thousands of miles over a period of 3+ years to eventual freedom in Iran, with all kinds of harrowing adventures along the way. I'm not usually real big on foreign films because i hate to read subtitles & the movies usually simply arent up to my standards in several ways, but this was way different, great production values, acting, locations, its all there. Four Stars. |

I watched "Killers" yesterday. It was terrible, but entertaining. Just understand that you need to shut your mind off and laugh sometimes.

Let me guess, she is a whorish woman that shows her tits in this movie just like every movie she does?
