My highschool friend Anny made and was in the movie. Amazing huh?

I read Lovely Bones so long ago...I don't really remember it. That might make for a better movie in my eyes since the movies usually don't measure up to the book.

I had no idea they were making a movie out of the Lovely Bones!!

I enjoyed Time Traveler's Wife...def not as good as the book. I'm starting The Lovely Bones too.

2009-08-25T10:04:32.735-07:00

I saw the Time Traveler's Wife, and I thought it was ok. I did NOT read the book, and I assumed if I did read the book, I would have liked the movie less. I am almost always dissapointed with movies after I read the books!
I saw your post a few weeks ago about The Time Traveler's Wife, so I was curious to read your thoughts about the film!

So, Why DID Claire love Henry? YOu made it sound like there was something more not shown in the movie!! I am curious now!

I once started The Lovely Bones but never finished it. I am wondering if everybody who read the book will be dissapointed in the movie, it seems that happened with TTW. So now I don't know if I want to try and read The Lovely Bones before watching the movie or just not read it!

2009-08-25T06:25:08.167-07:00

I really like District 9 but it was a bit gruesome for me. The overall story line though was fantastic.

I didn't know there was a book to "The Time Travelers Wife" until you mentioned it. I think I'll read the book and pass on the movie. The books are usually better!

I'll also have to check out The Lovely Bones!

2009-08-25T04:42:46.103-07:00

I'm wanting to read the Lovely Bones as well. It was on my list and then I saw the preview for the movie and thought...oh gosh....I need to read it soon!

District 9- really cool film!! I recommend to watch it.

I loved the business of being born! So good!

Lovely bones is a good book, but super sad. Be prepared! It bothered me for weeks after I read it.

i bought that book, (bones) years ago..and then never read it! i had no idea it was being made into a movie! Im actually having a hard time reading a Time Traveler...im 1/2 way thru..im sticking with it though!

I agree completely with your thoughts on District 9 and The Time Traveler's Wife. I haven't seen the Ricki Lake documentary, but do think it sounds really interesting, and like something I'd enjoy

2009-08-24T19:01:01.317-07:00

They're making Lovely Bones into a movie? I don't know how I feel about that. Some books weren't meant to make it on to the big screen...

2009-08-24T18:45:47.129-07:00

I kept myself from reading time traveler's wife, because I had a feeling it wouldn't be as good as the book. I still need to see it though! We saw Inglorious Basterds and really enjoyed it (I was kinda surprised about that part!).

I just LOVE seeing movies!

2009-08-24T18:39:29.761-07:00

I saw District 9 and it held my interest ... not a huge sci-fi fan though, but my husband loved it.

On another note, have you seen Inglorious? It was a really good one, but a lot of dialogue.

I am interested in the Ricki Lake documentary!

2009-08-24T18:38:46.691-07:00

I agree about TTW. The book was so well-written, and it would've been hard to make the ENTIRE thing into a great movie. But I did like Rachel McAdams.

To people who haven't seen it yet: As long as you go into it knowing it's a movie made from a book, it'll be okay. :)

Oh I totally agree with you on TTW. Bana did NOT make a good Henry for me either :(

2009-08-24T17:12:47.733-07:00

I read The Lovely Bones way back when also, but for some reason I could not finish it. I think it got too dragged out for me. Now that I know the movie is coming out I should probably try again!

I haven't seen Time Traveler's Wife yet but I'm hoping to see it this weekend.

I read the book, so I'm expecting to be a bit disappointed, but oh well.

I saw the business of being born...soooo good. It totally made me want a natural birthing proces...not sure if that will actually happen for me! haha.

2009-08-24T15:58:23.883-07:00

I agree about The Time Traveler's Wife. If I didn't read the book I probably wouldn't have liked that much. The previews looked good but I felt like they left out alot of parts and there wasn't alot of depth to the characters like there was in the book.

I'd also give it a 3/5
