What movies are you looking forward to seeing?
I'm also very interested in seeing Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children
I'm sure there are some I'm forgetting
How about everyone else?
What is grief, if not love persevering?
Grief is just love with no place to go.

Once surprising (and touching) bit that the movie had which the book did not was Haymitch kissing Effie Trinket on the lips when he says goodbye to her. The actors, Woody Harrelson and Liz Banks decided to do this on their own - it was not in the script - but the director left it in.
Bit of trivia about Mockingjay II:
The two very young children shown at the very end of the movie are Jennifer Lawrence's real-life nephews.

Thankfully I'd seen the trailer first, so I knee what to expect prior to reading the books (I only have library of souls left).Greyskies2446 wrote:Definitely Miss Peregrines Home for Peculiar Children. But judging from the commercials they aren't going exactly by the book which might ruin it for me.
I can understand how the differences could disappoint.

It always irks me the most when they change the original characters... When they bend the plot in movie/TV series adaptations of books, and THEN make the characters do things that the original characters from the books would NEVER do!Gravy wrote:Thankfully I'd seen the trailer first, so I knee what to expect prior to reading the books (I only have library of souls left).Greyskies2446 wrote:Definitely Miss Peregrines Home for Peculiar Children.

- Latest Review: "Before I Wake" by Seven Steps
I watched Now You See Me - it was amazing and absolutely epic! I really, really, really loved it. Sadly, in Now You See Me 2, apparently the female lead has changed? I'm not very sure whether it's going to be better or worse (because I haven't watched it) but I really wish the previous female lead stuck around to act in Now You See Me 2.
Apparently, Now You See Me 3 is already in the undermaking!

I also want to watch Gone Girl, The Girl on the Train and Deadpool. I just need to find the time to do so.
