Book Adaptations
The pages of novels provide articles about films based on popular books.
A Christmas Carol Review  “A wild ride!” “A roller coaster!” Zemeckis’s extraordinary production of a holiday classic is a skyrocketing experience you won’t want to miss. Jim Carrey is brilliant as Scrooge and the Three Ghosts of Christmas. Rated PG for scariness, keep young ones home, plan for future DVD stocking stuffers! Invictus Movie Review  “The Rainbow Nation starts here. Reconciliation starts here. Yes, reconciliation.... Forgiveness starts here, too.” Nelson Mandela changed his country--some say he changed the world--and Afrikaaner Francois Pienaar helped him do it by captaining the reinstated national rugby team, the Springboks. Ladies in Lavender Movie Review  Ladies in Lavender put a little in your smile along with the little blush in their own cheeks. A Polish violinist is washed overboard and washes ashore then is awash with affection and attention.
Moneyball Movie Review  A movie review of baseball film, Moneyball, starring Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill. Pitt plays Billy Beane, a baseball manager who is trying to make his team a success after suffering from disastrous losses. The Blind Side Movie Review  Michael Oher is known and loved as a tackle for the Baltimore Ravens football team. Now the world has a chance to known him as a conquering individual and to know the woman who gave him the chance to be that. The Celestine Prophecy Review  There is a strong resemblance between the events in The Celestine Prophecy and the historic episodes between the Church and Galileo and Copernicus, both of whom presented new ideas about the world we see--or don’t see--and offers an interesting Adventure Drama story in Peru. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button Review  We see life more clearly in retrospect, but when you’re born at the wrong end of life, which way is retrospect? Benjamin Button leaves the world with less experience than he brought into it. He becomes the incarnation of the “second childhood.” An implausible story is brilliantly made believable. The Informant Review  When good intentions and human foibles get together, embarrassingly funny situations result, especially when you’re an FBI informant wearing a wire and surrounded by cameras. The Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio  Based on the the memoir of the same name, The Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio re-teaches what it means to be a united family through difficult times.
