Books to film
over the years it seems that my favorite modern books are always made into movies a year or two after I have obsessed about the book (I apparently have very cinematic aka generic taste)
luckily they have turned out to be good movies (hollywood figured out how to properly adapt)
Girl, Interrupted, High Fidelity, About a Boy (I really like Nick Hornby), Bridget Jones, etc.
and then there was The Hours- my favorite book in the world- I was so worried when I heard it was being optioned and intrigued over how they would pull it off and it turned out amazing (even made me like meryl streep)
next up is Little Children - the casting is amazing (kate winslet) and the trailer is one of the best i've seen in a long time:
I have a feeling this will be a good movie year. media geek rant over.

one of my fave books is 'a scanner darkly' by philip k dick. i think the film has already been released in the states but i have to wait til the end of nov for it to come out over here. i'm really looking forward to seeing it .. even if keanu is in the lead role :(
