Name three absolutely awful film adaptations of books.
- The Twilight Series by Stephenie Meyer. I haven’t read the books but I did watch the first and last movies. I found them to be terrible. I think the only good actor in that movie was Anna Kendrick, and she was barely in them.
- The Mortal Instruments City of Bones by Cassandra Clare. It was the only thing on TV one Sunday. I watched it…Didn’t like it.
- The Hotel New Hampshire by John Irving. I actually did read this book, and I absolutely LOVED it. The movie, not so much. It it bad, so bad that it’s good. Let’s just say I have watched it more than once and I will watch it again. I love Franny and I LOVE Jodie Foster so I was happy when I found out that she was cast as Franny.
Slightly off-topic, but it really pisses me off that Meyer’s books have such beautiful covers and evocative titles… that nobody else can use now. Phooey!
