This week I'm changing the blog up a little bit. This is due to a lack of ideas unless I want to rant about how TERRIBLE this one movie was.
Here's a list of books that have been made into movies that I have not read, but seen:
Lord of the Rings
I Am Number Four
Pretty Little Liars (a show, but same concept)
P.S. I Love You
The Notebook
It's Kind of a Funny Story
I feel like a failure having seen a movie but yet never reading it's original intention. For one, I Am Number Four was completely cheesy, but yet I still liked it. The book has to be better. So far they always have. Unfortunately I've heard it's pretty predictable, but really so it Sarah Dessen's books, kind of, and I completely adore those.
Lord of the Rings: I remember attempting read the Fellowship of the Ring in seventh grade and I could not get over them spelling jewels like "jools". Maybe things have changed? Ha. Well. How can the books compare to the movies when the books don't have Orlando Bloom killing giant elephants? Or Viggo Mortenson pretty mch owning everyone and everything. But maybe Frodo will be less of a pain in the butt?
The Notebook: I don't want to bawl. But really, I've read Dear John and The Last Song. Could it be that bad?
Pretty Little Liars: WHO IS A?
P.S. I Love You: The book doesn't have Gerard Butler even though he's dead... And I love the movie. I mean can it really top it? Maybe... Possibly... Probably.
It's Kind of a Funny Story: This one came out recently, and to be honest I had no idea it was even a book until appoximately 20 minutes ago. I will read this.. Guarenteed.
This was probably a little lame, but I highly recommend these movies. They're amazing. Well to me. And maybe minus I Am Number Four unless you like cheesy lines of "Loriens only fall in love once." and bunch of plot holes... Still. The rest of the movies really are fantastic. Highly recommended.
I've read the Pretty Little Liars books (well, like the first four) and they are AWFUL. I've seen a few episodes of the show and it is much better. I do not recommend reading those books. I also didn't even know that P.S. I Love You was a book but I adore the movie! I like the twist in your blog!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know I am Number Four was a book. I believe the Notebook could really make you bawl as much as the movie; my sister told me it was different somehow, I just wish I could remember what she said. I can't get through the Lord of the Rings books and it's been FOREVER since I've seen any of the movies. P.S. I Love You, I can't imagine that world without Gerard Butler now<3. It's kind of a funny story was a good movie; when I first went to see if my friend about 15 minutes in said "I'VE DEFINITELY READ THIS BOOK!" And all I could think was this was a book? And I wish I knew who A was, it's getting on my nerves. And this wasn't a lame post, it was a change up, and a nice one at that =]
ReplyDeleteI definitely liked how you changed this up! It always puts a new twist on things! :)
ReplyDeleteLike I've said before, I do love to read for leisure, but lately I haven't been able to. Thank you for recommending these movies to watch instead, haha!
When I was younger, my mom used to make me read the book before I could go see the movie and now I get that same guilty feeling.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'd love to tell you the difference between The Notebook the book and the movie (it's kind of major) but then you'd never read the book because there aren't many differences. The movie is a bit more romantic, but the book is more real life which made me cry more. I'd recommend reading it UNLESS you are one of those people who hate Nicholas Sparks because you think all his books are the same.
