The Hunger Games film adaptation hasn’t even come out yet, but I am already anticipating that I will (hopefully) love this film. I’ve read the books and grown with the characters and (as usual) become very emotionally invested in them. Mostly, when a movie comes out based on a book that I loved, I have hated it. There have been so many times where not only the story is wrong in the film but the casting makes it worse (thats right, Time Travelers Wife, I’m looking at you). The Hunger Games however, looks like the casting for the film is going to be perfect. Continue reading
I love zombies. I love zombie movies, I love zombie books. It is a genre that I really dig. Unfortunately, not everyone feels the same. With the adaptation of Max Brooks’ brilliantly written World War Z, many feel that after this film comes out there isn’t much left to do in the genre. I am, like others, very weary of this adaptation for many reasons. One being that the book is an oral biography and I find it hard to translate that to a visual medium like film. Continue reading

Well Target stores have decided to exclusively debut the sneak peak of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 at its stores.

Ok, I am a girl, and I love love stories, and romantic comedies, and heartfelt indie dramas that focus on the true depth of love and life. I mean I am still pretty awesome but there isn’t a girl out there (almost) who doesn’t like to sit down to a romantic movie every once in a while.
So I picked up the book, One Day written by David Nicholls, and began to read. This book did become a movie starring Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess (another reason I wanted to do this review is because Jim Sturgess is pretty…. Awesome).
I read the book first, then when I was done, (and promptly cried afterward) then I watched the movie. I have to say that I was severely disappointed. It was awful. If I had watched this movie alone without reading the book, I would have loved it. However, the book was a million times better and the movie ultimately faltered to capture the love, chemistry and spirit of reality of the book. Continue reading
