The film has, btw, inspired me to read the books, because the film seemed so rushed. I almost wish this had been a high budget Hallmark miniseries, rather than a film, so they could linger in the different places a bit longer. But I suppose then we wouldn't have gotten Nicole Kidman in it. I'll just hope for an extended cut now. |

One exception was The English Patient -- I'm really glad I saw the movie first, because it relies on creating a mystery whereas the book pretty much lets you know what's going on and relies on other aspects of the story. As for Starship Troopers -- ugh! Don't get me started. . . |
