Gomorrah. I read the book and it is frightening and fascinating at the same time. Highly recommended read, which will twist your whole perspective of Italy and the global organized crime syndicate and the governments who seem powerless to stop them.
Indeed. When I first heard about the movie I thought it would be stupid, but after seeing the trailer I can't wait to see it.

With all of the poltical people on these boards and all of this mess around here I really recommend reading Watchmen before seeing it. The book is very political. You would not think it is but it is. It's in Time magazines top 50 all time novel awards.

Not necessarily anticipating this, but definitely interested: Shutter Island.
Scorsese, Leo, Max von Sydow, can't beat that... Speaking of Max, The Seventh Seal - Criterion Collection comes out on BluRay tomorrow. You all should check out the Ingmar Bergman 1957 classic, great cinematography.
