I’m starting this week off by bringing you ten book to movie adaptations that I thought worked wonderfully. All these books are okay, some are actually very good, but others simply aren’t as strong. The point of the Top 10 list is that the movies were better than books. Yes, I love some adaptations a […]
Thursday Movie Picks: Non-Linear Timelines
The pressure is on, because this week’s theme is my second and last recommendation for this year’s Thursday Movie Picks.
