Indeed.
Finally watched Let The Right One In and enjoyed it quite a bit. There was a preview for Splinter...seemed to be a fairly standard trapped-by-a-monster-type flick but piqued my interest. Has anyone seen it?
edit: also, has anyone seen Special w/ Michael Rapaport? The preview for that looked decent, too.

The sequels are good for dumb american action (which is good) but the originals break new ground and are mega awesome (which is better). Not up for discussion.

And that's exactly what it is. But if you like that kind of thing (which I do) it's a good way to waste an hour and a half.

I have never been so jazzed for a remake as I was for that of the Wolfman. That movie scared the crap out of me when I was a kind and left and indelible claw print on my psyche. When I heard Benicio Del Toro and Anthony Hopkins were in it, I was psyched. When I heard Rick Baker was handling the creature effects, I thought it was a can't miss. I finally saw it and was bitterly disappointed. The odd part is, they nailed the difficult elements. The creature effects were flawless and the cinematography was stunning. However, the story was complete shit. Why they felt the need to change it, I'll never know. But they completely ruined the movie.

I actually had to get up and leave about 2/3 of the way in. The wife asked what was wrong. "Oh. Uh. It's just boring."

Considering seeing "The Other Guys", this would go against my vow never to see Will Ferrell repeat a role he's portrayed 19 times in various forms.

Watched The Road last night. Well, I watched the first hour before I bailed. Hands down, one of the worst movies ever made. A horribly depressing story, about uninteresting characters, absent compelling acting, dialog or action. It just dragged on, it all of it's gray unglory, until I walked out.
I really want to see it. I literally finished the book (Pulitzer Prize winner) two days ago and found it a great read. Yes, the book is depressing and true, there is no real plot other than man and boy wandering the post apocalyptic wastelands scavenging and meeting random people, but i'm sure it's more realistic than say Bartertown run by Tina Turner and Master Blaster.
So yeah, if you're looking for Mad Max or Book of Eli, dont bother.

My wife also loved the book; said she couldn't put it down. But she was not at all impressed by the movie.
I wasn't looking for anything. Didn't really know anything about the story heading in. I'm OK with a depressing movie, but it has to have a compelling story. This was depressing seemingly for the sake of being depressing.

Different strokes for different folks. I thoroughly enjoyed the Road and found the lack of a plot to be refreshing. I'm so sick of all this convoluted nonsensical drivel Hollywood churns out, give me something simple.

I agree with you on this. And I don't necessarily need a plot, so long as the story they're telling is interesting and the characters are compelling. However, for my money, this offered neither. Like you said, to each their own.
