Kite Runner

As you may (or may not know), the movie The Kite Runner comes out in selected theaters this Friday. It's based on the best-selling book of the same title by Khaled Hosseini.

I read it senior year of high school for English class, and over the summer as "summer reading" for freshman year of college, as a part of the honors program. So, I'm kind of interested to see how the movie was directed, and how well it follows (or doesn't follow) the book. A group of us are planning to go into Philly this Friday and watch it.

Any plans to see it? (Or anyone who wants to?) Any thoughts on it?

    I didn't even know they were making a movie. I probably should go see it.
    For anyone who hasn't read the book, it's really good.

    I am interested in the movie because Marc Forster directed it and I have liked the other stuff that he did (Stranger than Fiction, Finding Neverland). I will probably see it. I also have not read the book and am interested in what that is about.

    Yeah, the book is really good. Well, if you like the main character. I know a lot of people who thought he was whiny and full of self pity, but I didn't think that - I just thought he was a flawed person.

    Unfortunately I didn't see the movie Friday, because no one wanted to drive to Philly. I'll be up in north NJ again soon, so I shall have to make plans to see it in the city (NYC)...
