For some reason, it seems that all the books I remember reading have somehow turned into movies! Above is a trailer to the book //Confessions of a Shopaholic//. I read it a few years ago and I am so so tickled **PINK** to see this become a movie. The book was about a girl who loved the finer things in life; however, could not afford it, let alone keep up with all the credit cards and store tabs she had. She gets into a huge pickle when she finally realizes how much debt she really has. To make ends meet, she finds different ways to come up with the funds, including making silly picture frames for this random company. She wasn't too good at that either. I'm really excited to see this movie, the only thing I'm disappointed about is that they have really Amercanized it by putting the setting of the movie in New York City rather than London, where it was in the novel. I think that Isla Fischer is perfect for this role and I'm sure she did a great job playing the role of Becky Bloomwood. Oh and this movie was also produced by Jerry Bruckheimer (I'm sure most of you know that he's a brilliant producer), so it MUST be a good movie.

In my first two pages, I talked about a variety of books that I have read. Those book too have been turned into movies or is becoming a movie. Both books by Mitch Albom have been turned into a movie, however they were not shown in theatres but shown on t.v. instead. I haven't had a chance to see them but I heard that the movies were just as good as the book, which is REALLY rare! I find that most of the time, movies leave out a lot of the best parts and just don't live up to the books they are based on. An example of so is the movie //P.S. I Love You//. I bought and read this book a month before the movie came out. I had NO clue that it as being turned into a movie. Unfortunately, I did not LOVE book, I still found that the book was a lot better than the movie. Again this movie was Americanized and the setting took place in New York City, when it actually is suppoed to take place in Dublin, Ireland. I mentioned about the //book Something Borrowed// in my other page. This book too is being turned into a movie starring Hilary Swank. She bought the rights to the book as soon as the book became a best-seller. I'm really looking forward to this movie but I have not heard about when it will be coming to theatres. Hilary Swank also starred in the //movie P.S. I Love You// and did a great job but the movie just lacked a lot of the original plot.
