Overall, I would say most of them never come out as good as the book. But, I guess it's the curiosity that killed the cat...I just have to see what their like!
I think they did a pretty good job recently with Twilight...

Can the “controversial” book become a film?
The Guilt.
I wouldn't mind to see this one to turn up as a movie one day.

There are rumors this was censored in some countries. Do not see why.

Nora Roberts is one of my all time favorite authors so you know I had to see this!... I was pleasantly surprised that they at least stuck to the basic story line of the actual book. There were a few things missing like Ava, the blowing up of Duncan's car instead of Roy at the cemetery, the big picnic scene when Phoebe meets Ma Bee for the first time...and a few other minor things here and there but other than that it was a really good movie, true to the book it portrayed. Glad to hear there also doing "Tribute" next week...
anyone else see High Noon?

I haven't seen the highly acclaimed film 'Slum Dog Millionaire'.
But I have just read the book......it is absolutely great.....highly recommended. I couldn't put it down.

books into movies
Hello BulletProof:
I like your name, especailly since you elaborated on it's origin. Your picture mathces well.
I have to agree with you about books and movies. "A picture is worth a thousand words", I don't agree with that. My best example would be "Broke Back Mountain", Annie Proulie. It's a short story and I read it while the film was advertising. She describes the characters by using dialogue, that's my favorite. I'll tell you, by page two I could hear them, smell them, and feel the fabric of their geans. The movie stayed the course of the story, but the impact was not there. I avoided the movie for a long time, the actors were disapointing because by that time I had such a strong vision in my mind about how they looked.
