Likes:
 - Harry Potter series - The Notebook (I actually thought the movie was better than the book) - Lord of the Rings - Tuesdays with Morrie - Pride and Prejudice - Emma (at least the Gwyneth Paltrow version) - Bridge to Terabithia - Holes - Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - Matilda - How The Grinch Stole Christmas  - The Pursuit of Happyness - What Dreams May Come - The Odyssey - The Iliad (movie name: Troy) - The Outsiders Dislikes:  - Nancy Drew (i didn`t even see the movie. it`s not even worth it. they ruined the books. why the hell would you pick Emma Roberts out of all the actresses in Hollywood to play Nancy Drew?!?! ugh. i get angry just talking about it.) - A Walk to Remember (too many changes) - The Devil Wears Prada (don`t get me wrong. meryl streep was amazing as Miranda Priestly, but i didn`t like Anne Hathaway as much. plus, there were a lot of changes done in the movie. i hated the fact that they changed the ending completely.) - (The) Children of Men (just too slow) - The Da Vinci Code (i didn`t think Tom Hanks was the right person to play Robert Langdon) Upcoming Ones That I'm Rooting For: - Angels & Demons - The Nanny Diaries - P.S. I Love You |
