Giveaway: Julie and Julia
Julie & Julia, the bestselling memoir that's "irresistible....A kind of Bridget Jones meets The French Chef" (Philadelphia Inquirer), is now a major motion picture. Julie Powell, nearing thirty and trapped in a dead-end secretarial job, resolves to reclaim her life by cooking in the span of a single year, every one of the 524 recipes in Julia Child's legendary Mastering the Art of French Cooking. Her unexpected reward: not just a newfound respect for calves' livers and aspic, but a new life-lived with gusto. The film version is written and directed by Nora Ephron and stars Amy Adams as Julie and Meryl Streep as Julia.

I liked Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe as a book made into a movie.

I don't like most books made into movies because the characters never look like I imagined them and the directors always changet things.... of course I can't think of a specific example.

I was very disappointed with Flowers In the Attic. I loved the first few books and was so excited when the movie was to come out. It was a major letdown

I loved The Notebook as a book! I liked it as a movie, but thought that the book was much better.

I thought the movie Marley and Me was as good, if not better than the book! Maybe that type of story is better as a movie because seeing the dog in action was hilarious. I have a dog just like Marley.

I liked the "Devil Wears Prada"
I really want to read this before I see the movie. I've heard good things about the book.

I book made into a movie I liked was The Notebook. I guess it helped that Ryan Gosling is one of my favorite actors.
lilgaffy23@sbcglobal.net
I didn't like the Marley and Me movie that much. I definitely liked the book better.

I just saw "My Sister's Keeper" last night and cried as much during the movie as I did during the book. It's not exactly the same as the book, but I enjoyed them both.

I liked the book Holes (yes, the kid's book.) The movie was the most true to book movie I've ever seen. Fabulous!
I loathed Ella Enchanted made into a movie. It was nothing whatsoever like the book except the main characters were both named "Ella" and the titles were the same. The movie was AWFUL!
Here's a recipe I created and posted on Recipezaar: http://www.recipezaar.com/Tyrosalata-Spicy-Feta-Dip-218215
#1 This looks fabulous! Please enter me. I can't wait to see the movie too, but love to read the book first.

I loved the book Heartburn and I think they did a great job with the movie. Of course with Meryl Streep and Jack Nicholson how can you miss?
kalea_kane(at)yahoo(dot)com
Darn, my internet crashed while I wrote this. I was VERY annoyed with the film adaptation of Dreamcatcher by Stephen King. I am not surprised though. Either they really make it work or they do not. :)

For another entry - a book that I DIDN'T like the movie of: Twilight - the book was great - total brain candy for me. . . but some of the scenes in the movie were changed so much, and there were quite a few things left out that are important in the book! Bella cooked every night for her father - that was part of their special relationship - in the movie, they only eat out!

A movie I LIKED: the version of Pride and Prejudice with Colin Firth - he was perfect!

i must say i do like the harry potter movies, however much i like the books.
i did not like the Ella Enchanted movie. The book was so great and the movie was not to say the least.
Ever since I saw the preview for this movie I've wanted to read the book. This is perfect! Thanks :)

I loved the movie versions of The Virgin Suicides and Everything is Illuminated. Both favorites.
inexperiencedyouth at gmail dot com
I hated Twilight, but then again I couldn't really stand the book either ha.
inexperiencedyouth at gmail dot com
Twilight was just alright in my opinion. I couldn't get over how white they were. I know, I know...they're supposed to be vampires...but a little blush and bronzer never hurt anybody---even vampires!

Thank you for this opportunity!
A movie made from a book that I liked was The City of Ember.

My son and I read The Tale of Despereaux together--an abridged "junior" sort of version--and we loved the movie.
I love the Lemony Snicket series, but the movie should have been several movies. So much was skipped, so much was changed....the series was so great and could have been made into a few good movies, instead of just one with lots missing.

#2: For water like chocolate
Amazing film. Great book. I love idea of the emotions being cooked in to food...
I would like to see the movie, because Adams and Streep work well together. Can't until I read the book.
