I am an Alien superfan. I was introduced to the franchise through Alien vs. Predator when I was in my pre-teens and fell in love. Little did I know AVP was simply a crossover of two other franchises, and that I had so many more films to watch! And here I am, in my twenties, going to see the…
This week, I wanted to talk about opinions on adaptations. If you follow my blog, you know that I recently read Dave Eggers's The Circle and then went to see the adaptation with my girlfriend, who didn't read the novel. This is often ... Continue Reading
I'm starting a new segment again! As you can see, I enjoy alliteration. I also love movies. I already post adaptation reviews, but I watch plenty of other movies to blog about too, so I thought, Why not? And since I went to the movies yesterday, it's a perfect opportunity! In this segment I won't…

If you're anything like myself, you were ecstatic when you discovered Patrick Ness's A Monster Calls was being adapted to a film. It was supposed to be released October 2016 -- it wasn't. Then it was supposed to be released December 2016 -- it wasn't, at least, not worldwide. Finally it came out in January of this…
If you haven't heard of Lauren Oliver's novel Before I Fall, are you really a YA fan? The novel, which came out in 2010, gained a large following and is arguably one of Oliver's best works. I didn't read it for myself until about a week ago, right in time for the film release. I do that a…
It's here!!! The first real look at Netflix's upcoming 13-part series, 13 Reasons Why, was released yesterday. After the slightly-disappointing little teaser trailer a month or so ago, I think things are starting to look up. Check it out: So? Yes? Excited? It looks pretty rad, and my hopes have skyrocketed. Please, Netflix, don't let us…
GUYS!!!!! It's here!!! The trailer for Everything, Everything was released this morning and I'm freaking out!! Watch it!!!! !?!?! What do you guys think? Will it live up to the novel? Will it be better than the novel? Thoughts? I myself quite enjoyed the novel, despite its various issues (you can find my review here), and am beyond…
Well, it's been a month since I posted my list of 2017 adaptations. Since then, a couple new trailers have been released, and I'm stoked! These trailers came out over a week ago, so I realize I'm quite late to the party, but bear with me, people -- I'm trying. Click on the titles for…

So I assume this news has been out for a while, but I personally had no idea about it until today. Apparently, two days ago, Jay Asher updated his Facebook cover photo with this: I literally just saw it on my feed while aimlessly scrolling. How long have people known about this!? (edit: I just…

Another year is here, and it's full of book-to-film adaptations. Last year, there was a great selection of adaptations and I managed to see most of them on my list. This year, I'm slightly less excited, but I have searched for as many adaptations as possible and I've come up with this magical list, so…
