I just saw Knowing, starring our favorite actor Nicholas Cage.
SPOILER I had no idea that the movie was about space aliens coming in as a prophecy to take some kids for their very own adam and eve on another planet when the sun blows up the earth. |

The one complaint I have heard from people that are diehard into the books was that rumor has it that the Gaunts are not in the movie, while they decided to spend the time with the action scene that is not in the book. Reportedly they felt the book was too low on action so they just inserted a random action scene in the middle at the Burrow. If I remember right, Empire Strikes Back didn't have a billion action scenes and people still think it is pretty damn good. Apologies for the cross-geekdom.

That is very true. At least this one seems to be a bit more faithful to the book from what I've read so far. Obviously this movie will be defined by the ending, which if shot correctly will be extremely powerful and memorable just like the "I am your father" scene from Empire. |

Saw Shooter. Top movie of the decade, imo.

I thought it was funny though in some parts. Like when he puts on the sunglasses, pauses, and then says something badass, and the final take when he walks away from the exploding house.
