Books made into movies

I just watched the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, I read the book earlier this fall. From the first 15 minutes of the movie I was mad 'cuz the movie changed major parts of the book. I finished it mad 'cuz it changed lots of parts of the book. Grrr... definately just BASED on the book. I hate when they do that.

I watched Pride & Predjudice yesterday and LOVE LOVE LOVED it... but I am ashamed to admit, I have yet to read the book. So, I had no basis of comparison. But, my friend Heather, who HAS read the book, also LOVED the movie... so it must be an Ok rendition.

I am PRAYING that The Chronicles of Narnia, which looks amazing in previews, is as awesome as the books and they don't change anything major... how can you change a C.S. Lewis classic?

I loved all of the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants books. I thought the movie was good for a movie, but they COMPLETELY changed Lena's character.

Pride and Prejudice. Let's just all heave a collective sigh of unadulterated love. I've read the book a gazillion times and plan on seeing the movie just as many.

Narnia. I almost burst into tears every time that I see the trailer. It is so good. I can't wait!

And thus endeth my 2 cents.
