Movie Marathon Day

I'm back! Finally! The last few weeks were chaotic - assignments final, video shooting and etc. For four weeks in a row, I wasn't able to visit the cinemas. (Maybe its normal for you but I usually go to the cinema once a week- at least.) Since all my assignments were submitted this week, I've decided to go to the cinema and watch all the movies that I wanted to.

The first movie that comes to my mind was The Inglorious Basterds. I'm sure all of you have had heard of it. Too bad the time slot wasn't suitable for our plan today, most probably due to the hours long of the movie and causes less showtimes, we changed our mind. There were only two more movies we were interested in - Jennifer's Body and The Time Traveler's Wife. (I'm not a big fan of Fox and Vamps and blood and... so we chose the latter one.)

I actually read the book before (to my very own surprise) so I somehow have an idea what the show was about. It's kinda disappointing when I actually watched the movie itself because most of the important details were not found on the show. A few changes were made to the storyline so that it can fit into a two hours long film. Perhaps this is the problem with adaption, not all the screenplay were written accordingly due to the time limit. Sigh. (That's why they came up with best adapted screenplay for the Academy Awards, those people should be awarded.)


I wouldn't say the show was bad because it's not - its just that the thing I love in the book wasn't seen anywhere in the movie. Sigh. But Rachel McAdams was as attractive as she is. Eric Bana was boring, quite hard to identify his age actually (we are supposed to be aware of that in the book.) Sigh.

The movie ran too fast - before I can put myself into the picture, they already getting married. Then fast forward to pregnancy and all.. everything happened too fast!! Slow down!! I wanna see more of Claire!!! Anyway, I do like the cinematography. Most shots were nice and brilliant..

If u have time, should read the book.. the movie, hmm, dvd maybe.. LOL

p.s: let's hope the next movie don't suck! (*fingercrossed "Inglorious Basterds"!*)
