It is showing by limited engagement, so I was both surprised and happy to see it playing in my very own neighborhood. My teen and I took in a matinee together last Sunday. We both enjoyed it very much, but I have to say I thought the last scene felt a bit incomplete. I encouraged my daughter to at least read the last two chapters of the novel to get a better ending.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00420773211895134710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661609629555743722.post-45465031707886316632011-03-31T01:36:01.266-04:002011-03-31T01:36:01.266-04:00Happy Belated Birthday to your daughter!

Haven't seen the previews for the other ones. So many movies I've missed this last year! I still need to see Tangles.

Thanks so much for taking the time ...Hey everyone! <br />Thanks so much for taking the time to comment. I'm sorry I still haven't been around much. <br /><br />Mariana... middle school girls can be so challenging at times. SO challenging. <br /><br />Hilcia... I'm still debating about reading or seeing "Something Borrowed"... <br /><br />Linda... another vote for the book! Thanks for letting me know you liked it too. Did you get to see "Suckerpunch"? I didn't. <br /><br />Alex...Glad to know you weren't put off by the morality issues in "Something Borrowed." I haven't seen "Jane Eyre" anywhere near me, either! It'll probably end up being a netflix rental. <br /><br />Natalie... we are overdue for a get together. B&N soon? <br /><br />Little_Alys... thanks for visiting--it's so good to see a comment from you! :D<br /><br />orannia... If you're on the fence about "Red Riding Hood" maybe wait for it to come out on dvd. I still hope to see "Suckerpunch"! <br /><br />Brandy... We watched the first "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" on dvd a while ago. I wasn't too impressed by the main character to tell the truth. I liked his friend better! <br /><br />Michelle... So lucky that you got to see "Jane Eyre" NOw I really want to find it playing somewhere... <br /><br />nath... That is VERY COOL that some of your sister's friends are in "Beastly"!! <br /><br />ames... Oh, I'll have to look into the Bosnak book. I love a good funny book! Thanks for the rec!<br /><br />Paula.. FOUR girls!? I'm in awe. Two is quite the handful. LOL <br /><br />I'll definitely read "Water for Elephants" first before seeing the movie. I overheard two ladies talking about it in the gym locker room the other morning and am inspired to read it soon. <br /><br />Thanks for letting me know about Julie's Q's being up for "The Persian Pickle"! I'll get to that asap. I'm glad April's book is going to change, too. I borrowed the Elizabeth Edwards book from the library and started reading parts of it and don't think I really want to read it cover to cover... I'll be around to check out the book club goings on soon! :)Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00420773211895134710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661609629555743722.post-7198116010647331312011-03-30T14:21:18.264-04:002011-03-30T14:21:18.264-04:00Ahhh, 12, I have 4 girls, 2 have passed the 12, go...Ahhh, 12, I have 4 girls, 2 have passed the 12, got one there for only a couple of more months and the last girl just turned 11! They can be such drama ;) I want to bring the 11 yr old to Red Riding Hood too! The big ones can't stand the lead girl in it, but I still wanna go. Not too much into Sucker Punch.<br /><br />I can't wait for Water For Elephants! Read the book 1st!! That's the July choice for my other book club, just touching. Julie got the ?'s up on her blog, I posted the link on mine. April's book is gonna change since Julie and Marce weren't gonna read it.<br /><br />Paula<br /><a href="http://tomesdevotee.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow"> Tomes Devotee</a>Paula Calvanicohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01071152704222978446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661609629555743722.post-34537601536836579302011-03-30T00:18:23.700-04:002011-03-30T00:18:23.700-04:00Happy birthday to your daughter!!
Karyn Bosnak wr...Happy birthday to your daughter!!<br /><br />Karyn Bosnak wrote a really dang funny book called 20 Times a Lady. The movie comes out this September, but I think it's called What's Your Number? or something like that. It's about a woman looking for her ex-boyfriends. It was a really funny book. I'm looking forward to that one. :P~ames~https://www.blogger.com/profile/17683205224039402987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661609629555743722.post-43044960325178808662011-03-27T10:15:14.888-04:002011-03-27T10:15:14.888-04:00Happy birthday to your daughter, Christine!

I hope she had fun :) and woohoo on being spared of the Justin Bieber movie LOL.<br /><br />Hmm, I saw the preview of Something Borrowed and it feels like they changed a few things in it ^_^; Either way, like you, I've always been wary of the storyline, so low probability that I'll go see it. Plus, I'm not a fan of Kate Hudson.<br /><br />Oh, parts of Beastly was filmed in Montreal apparently (if I'm not wrong LOL) and my sister has two friends who were figurants in it! :P How cool is that?

But something about the way the story was told that made me connect with the main character and ended up hating the friend. I can't remember their names anymore but the plot was still fresh in my head. I ended up reading Something blue, the story of the friend. I enjoyed this even more and rooted for the friend -- the one I hated back in Something borrowed. I think this was the first time I enjoyed reading a story in First POV.Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04184417571128435910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661609629555743722.post-73648593954546768032011-03-23T21:27:04.148-04:002011-03-23T21:27:04.148-04:00Oh, many congrats to you girl!!! 12 is a good age ...Oh, many congrats to you girl!!! 12 is a good age to be. <br /><br />And I'm glad you liked Red Riding Hood, since I'm pretty sure my sister will drag me to see it. <br /><br />I do love previews, is one of my favorite parts of going to the movies. <br /><br />I'm not very interested in Water for Elephants, it's not really the kind of book I turn to or the movie I go great lengths to see, they probably won't even show it in my country.<br /><br />But I am very pumped to see Something Borrowed, I just read the books (Something Borrowed and Something Blue) and really liked them,had a few issues with them but morality wasn't one of the surprisingly.<br /><br />Sucker Punch preview started showing her too, it looks interesting but I dunno if I would pay full price to go see it. <br /><br />:D<br /><br />And I'm dying to see Jane Eyre but I don't know if they'll show it here either :(Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661609629555743722.post-29079727384692030862011-03-23T18:56:09.136-04:002011-03-23T18:56:09.136-04:00I loved Water for Elephants and I can't wait f...I loved Water for Elephants and I can't wait for the movie.

I'm so glad you enjoyed it.<br /><br />I've also seen Water for Elephants everywhere and never wanted to pick it up... I'm still not sure I want to, but I do like the actors in the movie so I may watch it. And, I can't wait to see what they do with "Something Borrowed." Griffin did such a great job with the writing, I'd like to see how or if it translates to the big screen.Hilciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17765831808358693421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661609629555743722.post-47539320425788390142011-03-23T18:07:21.557-04:002011-03-23T18:07:21.557-04:00Glad Anna had a good birthday!

We saw the previews a while ago and we want to see it. She also wants to see Beastly. She read the book and wants to see the movie to compare. <br /><br />You didn't miss much with the Bieber movie. Lili was bored; although he's her future husband and all ;), she said she could've done without O_o<br /><br />Wanna go with to see Sucker Punch?
