No Fear & Loathing? — 3 years ago

Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas is a great book and a good adaptation!

Kind of a waste.. — 4 years ago

Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil is an AMAZING book, one of my favorites. And I love John Cusack, but even he (and an appearance by a younger Jude Law) can’t save this movie. It just doesn’t work. The “female love interest” is in the film version despite the fact that the real main character/author is gay. The quirkiness of the city and all the characters is what makes the book so great but all of that gets lost in the film.

Twilight — 4 years ago

Okay, so the movie hasn’t come out yet. But I’m not gonna lie: I’m psyched! The whole time I was reading, I pictured Robert Pattinson as Edward and had no intention of seeing the rumored movie. But by some crazy coincidence, Robert Pattinson was cast in the part. So I’m pretty much thrilled.
