Holes!

[sash1]

I just saw a commercial that the book "Holes" is now a movie and will be out April 18th

Dunno if any of you have read this book, but I read it way back when, and I must admit, this is probably one of my favorite books. Been a while since I've read it, but I'm gonna see teh movee!

Resurrecting this thread since the movie just opened.

I haven't heard a whole lot of press about this film tho.
The cast is quite impressive.

As soon as I finished that book (my wife was teaching it in class), she and I spent several hours talking about what a great film that book would make.
Hope they translated it well to the big screen.

BTW: I read that book in one sitting...it was that compelling.

Didn't read the book... don't even know what it's about? Anyone care to give the story in short form?

from what i gather from the previews...kids at a boot camp type place dig holes as punishment and find these lizard things that look scarey.

Just saw the movie yesterday. I don't know anything about the book, but the movie was great.

Well written, had several levels that tied together nicely, nice cast, good stuff.

Preferably not of the butt variety.

Movie looks retarded from the commercial.

Guys: "Gee, let's go to the dessert and dig holes."
Guys dig holes.
Lizard crawls out of hole.
commercial ends.
Tyler changes channel.

I thought it was pretty good.... saw it with my little sister. A bit to sappy though. Entertaining none the less.
