Book to Movie 2017 {April - June}

I am so sorry I am getting this out so late. I have been super busy lately and realized I hadn't done it yet. So hopefully you have enough time to read before you see it. There are a ton of movies coming out in all different kinds of genres. Hope you enjoy seeing some of these on the big screen or streaming them to your computer.

Book to Movie 2017 {January - March}

There is a huge variety of books this quarter becoming movies and tv shows. From novels, to fairy tales, to graphic novels and then to Young Adult fiction. So there should be a movie for everyone. Check out these books that are hitting the big screen in the next couple of months.

The Girl on the Train {Book to Movie}

This is the perfect movie to see this spooky season. A mysterious thriller that will keep you guessing all movie long. I have to say when I read the book I was surprised by the ending. It was not as crazy of a twisted book as Gone Girl but still interesting and a great page turner. 

I am really interested in seeing this movie because I love Emily Blunt and she plays the main character. 

So mark your calendars to go see

The Girl on the Train 

this weekend.

Opens October 7th

Rated R

112 minutes

Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children {Book to Movie}

Get ready for the Halloween Spirit this month by going to see the new movie

Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children

It comes out September 30th

It is rated PG-13 and is 2hrs and 7 mins short

I don't think it looks too scary for my 9 year old so I might be taking all my kids to this. I really think they will all enjoy it.

This series by Ransom Riggs has become very popular since it's release in 2011.

5 movies that were better than their books

Unpopular opinion time: sometimes the movie is every bit as good as the book it's based on. And sometimes it's even better.

Hopefully no book lovers' panties are getting bunched reading this, but I have to admit that sometimes movies bring something special to the table that even a great book just can't deliver. Or sometimes, a movie turns a truly lackluster book into an awesome experience.

Of course, there are tons of movies that absolutely butcher the book on which they were based, but today's post is in honor of the movies that rocked it, and might even be better than the book they're based on. Just one girl's opinion here, of course, and you are more than welcome to disagree with me, as long as no one shows up at my house with torches and pitchforks :-)

Quarterly Book to Movie Review {July - September 2016}

Wow can you believe how many movies that are coming out in the next three months that are based on books?

Keep reading all the deets and watch the movie trailers.

The BFG {Book to Movie}

Many of you might have grown up reading Roald Dahl books and probably read this one. Disney has remade the classic tale with all the technology we have now for movies.
I am pretty sure this is going to be amazing.

This magical movie comes out July 1st. It is 115 minutes and is rated PG. This will be a great movie for the whole family.

Legend of Tarzan {Book to Movie}

So excited for this movie to come out. I can't wait to see how they put it together and if the digital effects are believable. If it's anything like the job they did on The Jungle Book then I will be happy. The trailer looks amazing and adventurous.

Be sure to hit the theaters July 1st.
It is rated PG-13 and is 109 minutes.

Me Before You {Book to Movie}

Aaahhhh.... this book is amazing! After I read this book I went and found every other Jojo Moyes book I could find because I wanted to read everything she has ever written. Jojo Moyes is on my Top Five Author List and she deserves to be there. I heard they were making this a movie a while ago and I hope they do the book justice. It is an amazing story of love, life, trials, heartache, and bravery.

This movie comes out June 3rd

it is 150 minutes and rated PG 13

Alice Through the Looking Glass {Book to Movie}

It's Time for the next movie of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

The Jungle Book {Book to Movie}

Oooohhh doesn't this movie look so cool. I'm loving how they are incorporating real life with computer generated imagery to bring this movie alive. And have you seen the star studded cast? I mean, wow! This is sure to be a hit. I know I can't wait to take my kids to it. 

It comes out April 15th and is rated PG

Quarterly Book to Movie Review: {April - June 2016}

Wow there aren't very many book to movies coming out in the next three months but they are all good ones worth going to see.

Keep reading to find out when they hit the big screen.

Allegiant {Book to Movie}

So I watched the trailer and the other side of the wall does not look how I remember reading it. This makes me think that the screenwriters have taken some liberties in changing a few things. So it looks like this third book will be split into two movies but the forth movie will be called Divergent Series: Ascendant. Let's cross our fingers that they change the ending because that ending totally sucked.
This movie comes out March 18th!

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies {Book to Movie}

So with all the Zombie craze they made the book Pride and Prejudice and Zombies into a movie. I saw the trailer and I think this movie will be entertaining. I actually have  not read the book but a friend of mine has and she didn't really like it. I wonder if you are a true Jane Austen fan if that makes the difference wether you would like this movie or not. I think I will go see it just because it looks entertaining. I am not going to put high expectations on this movie and let it be what it is, "A Zombie Movie". 

This movie comes out February 5th. It is PG-13 and 108 minutes.

Quarterly Book to Movie Review {January - March 2016}

Here are 8 books that will be made into films at the beginning of 2016. 

Read them before they come out.

In the Heart of the Sea {Book to Movie}

Swoon! Right? Even if you are not into books based on true stories and then brought to life on the big screen then I am sure you'd love to see Chris Hemsworth for 2 hours. But who wouldn't want to watch a movie based on the book where the famous Moby Dick was inspired from. I for one didn't know that this was from a true story in history. 

This movie has been on my radar for over a year. The movie trailer came out last December and was suppose to come out in the beginning of 2015 but I guess they decided to wait till the Holiday Season to release it. 

This movie comes out December 11th. It is rated PG-13 and is 121 minutes. 

It is directed by the amazing Ron Howard.
