Movie Monday Recap

Creepy for sure. I had to cover my eyes in some parts (grossness factor). Acting is great. And boy was I surprised by the ending.
LOVE THIS MOVIE. Tom Hanks is great as the OCD cop and Hooch is his perfect foil.
You have to watch this movie! One of Meg Ryan and Kevin Kline's best. Some of the best dialogue in a romcom.
HILARIOUS! Finally saw it from start to finish (caught the end once and wasn't impressed) with my mom. So funny. I laughed so hard I cried multiple times. 
A gem of an animated film. Like to rewatch here and there. Lots of laughs and clever.
Kids like it. But I've never been that fond of it. There are laughs here and there, but I feel they missed something with this one.
Cute 80s flick. Tom Selleck shines in his scenes with the baby and the grocery store.

Books to Movies Giveaway Hop

Image
One of my favorite subjects are books to movies. I LOVE watching adaptations and studying the skill of turning a book into a movie. Adaptations are getting a lot of attention now with the success of the Twilight and The Hunger Games series. I could go on and on about the skill it takes to adapt a movie from a book, but I won't bore you. Instead I'll just give you a couple of my favorites: Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen ~ Pride and Prejudice (A&E version) Emma by Jane Austen ~ Clueless The Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum ~ Tin Man Cinderella ~ Ever After How to Train Your Dragon by Cressida Cowell ~ How to Train Your Dragon For the hop I decided to giveaway a copy of another one of my favorite adaptations. This is the first movie I consciously remember knowing it was based on a book and actually went out and read the book. The specifics of the plot are different, but the characters and overall arc are the same. Besides Hayley Mills is charming in the role ...

Science Fiction Fantasy Saturday - Unicorn Keep by Angelia Almos

Image
Unicorn Keep by Angelia Almos Unicorn Keep is my new young adult fantasy about Jiline who switches places with her best friend, Madelen, to become a unicorn keeper. It should be coming out in May if production stays on target with no major disasters. ***  “I am Mage Daniah,” her voice spread over the square. “Your families have a wonderful opportunity presented to them today. One of you may become a Unicorn Keeper.” Jiline’s breath stopped. Her parents had been whispering last night as to why the mages had come. Sometimes mages traveled looking for apprentices, but occasionally they needed new keepers: children and young people of pure thought to care for the unicorns a small group of mages protected year-round at the Keep.  “This is a great honor for your family.” Mage Daniah paused and looked down the line again. Her hand suddenly appeared from the swirling robe.  *** For more Science Fiction Fantasy Saturday authors go to http://scififansat.blogspot.com...
