Anyone seen Imagniarium of Doc?

I think I'll be pretty sad seeing Heath Ledger...but wondering if it's a good movie.

Any other recommendations on new releases? Legion? Crazy Heart?

I've seen:

The Lovely Bones - liked it better than the book.
The Road - can't even describe the feeling it left me with. Didn't read the book though.
Shutter Island - loved it.
2012
The Blind Side
Precious
Hurt Locker
And most of the other older ones.

Any recommendations for something that's On Demand? Anything but romance.

Thanks!

1. The film version of The Road was okay IMO, but not great

If you liked it, definitely read the book.

2. Yes, I was searching for reviews on DU

and read your posts on in the book forum. I plan on getting it, but I hope seeing the movie doesn't ruin it for me.

3. I don't think that it'll ruin it for you

The film stuck pretty closely to the book, but there are substantial differences. The book is able to elaborate on elements only touched-on in the film, and certain things unfold differently on the page than onscreen.

If you read it, post to let us know what you think!
