I think it goes without saying that usually, the book is better than the movie. But that doesn’t mean we don’t enjoy seeing our favorite stories played out in front of us — it’s like a concrete manifestation of our imagination! Or, maybe it isn’t, if the movie doesn’t do your imagination justice… Though this is usually the case, I find that often the best movies are the ones based on books. Maybe it’s because the source material is fleshed out so well, simply because it was first in book-length format.<\/p>\n
Either way, I came across a neat website that has movie trailers for soon-to-be released movies, which are based on books. The book covers are side-by-side with the trailers. And I’d say there are some awesome sounding movies coming out in the upcoming year!<\/p>\n
So, check it out here<\/a>. And let us know what books-to-movies you’re looking forward to this year!<\/p>\n For my part, the one I anticipate the most is Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince<\/a>.<\/em> This isn’t on that website, but you can see the latest trailer here<\/a>. But out of the movies on that side-by-side website, I’d say the most interesting-sounding of the lot is The Reader<\/em>.<\/p>\n What do you think?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I think it goes without saying that usually, the book is better than the movie.
