My Response: This movie was released in New York and Los Angeles a few weeks ago, but it is being released wide on 12/25. This film is for those who love watching a mental chess match between two great and opposing forces. It is based on a true story, and is gaining all kinds of hype for the performances and eloquence of the story telling. See it.

My Input: I loved the novel this movie is based on, and I really hope the film is able to capture the dark comedy from the book, but with Gregg being a first time director, I'm skeptical. However, early reviews seem pretty solid, so I'm looking forward to checking this one out!
