The Time Traveler's Wife

Here is another Book vs Movie review for you! I love how they are making so many movies from books these days (or maybe I've just been noticing more). The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold is out in December and Shutter Island by Dennis Lehane is out in October (Dennis Lehane of Gone Baby Gone and Mystic River) are two that I am quite excited about.
This spring when I read The Time Traveler's Wife....I would have never thought it could be made into a movie. It was a confusing book to read...what with the jumping around from date to date...and the end of the book, I'd think back and have many "aha" moments. But I was very impressed with this book...it's a very heart-wrenching story.
To those wanting to see this movie, I say: GO SEE IT. But first...read the book. It will be worth it and you won't be left going "What the heck?" in the theater. They did a SPECTACULAR job on this film, in my opinion....pulling from each important part of the book and mashing it all together into something funny, lovely and oh so tear-jerking (maybe I'm just a big goob).

Hmm...what shall I read next? They seem to be turning a bunch of my fave's into movies these days! Any requests....maybe I can use some of my 'pull'! Ü haha

I've really been thinking about seeing this one. I'm not sure if I could handle it though---the book just DESTROYED me at the end. So tragic!! But I'm very intrigued about the movie,nonetheless. I'm interested in seeing how they make it make sense.

I want to see this!!! Lovely Bones too - I didn't know that was being made into a movie. I've read both of those books. (I used to read a lot - how is it that I totally stopped when Caedyn got here? How do YOU find time to read?!) :-)

Jessica, Mary, and I went to go see it last night since our husband's probably wouldn't enjoy it as much...what a tear jerker! I personally didn't like all the bum shots though!! I thought they were pushing it for a PG-13! I'm anxious to read the book though!
