Movie Review

Well, just to finish out a trio of blogs about it...I saw Twilight. I give it a B, which I think is pretty generous. My question for all people who makes books into movies: If the story is good enough that you think it would be a good movie, why waste time deleting things from the story just to add things in that didn't happen? Usually, when I complain about a movie that's been made from a book I like (which, let's be honest, is every time) someone will point out that it couldn't be exactly like the book because that would take too much time. But they waste time adding new, and stupid, scenes. That time would be better served actually representing the real story. Maybe that's just me.

I did think it was cute that Stephenie Meyer made an appearrance, a la Hitchcock. But she should have spent less time planning her appearnace, and more time defending her book.

The girl made a better Bella than I thought she would, but Edward was a little too awkward for me. I'll probably still but the DVD, but I'll bitch every time I watch it. :)

Friday stuff

So I did go to Borders and buy more books...yay! And while I was there I picked up a copy of Twilight and started re-reading it because my copy was loaned out and the movie comes out today and I was getting antsy. So I read a few chapters before I could stop myself. Then I got a text yesterday from the person borrowing it, saying she was done. Of course I went right to her house to retrieve after work. So she probably think I'm crazy. But how can I nitpick the movie if I don't have all the book's details fresh in my mind. I'm not going tonight because we already had plans to go to the Timberwolves game, and I still have a few chapters left. But I'm going to see it tomorrow. It will disappoint me, I can already tell from the trailer. But hopefully it will still be a little bit good.

I am so excited that it's Friday. I don't know why, but this week has been exceptionally busy and I am so excited about relaxing. And next week is only three days! Woo-hoo! And tomorrow is my husband's god-daughter's first birthday, so that's fun.
