my thanksgiving movie this year was "the road,"

describes my reaction nearly to a T, except that i thought the kid seemed to come straight out of "shane"but mortenson has one great face, and charlize is someone to fall in love with, deeply , that kind of face, and the art direction is pretty interesting, but the film lacked the courage of its monotony, so i stayed 3/4 through before heading out back into the rain.
