What to Watch

10/26/2014

So maybe you decide to go to the movies, and either take your date or go out with some friends (going alone works too), but you do not decide what movie you want because either they all look good, or they all just look terribly bad.

Well my friends, I have found the answer to all your questions, and if you want to go out and watch a movie this week, then I recommend you to take a good look at this blog because it is about to get good. 

The first movie that you should consider watching is, "Ouija." Even though this movie does not look "as good" as the others, it does have that "Halloween-ish, scary movie, so if you want to go and have a little "spook," then go out with your pals (To a cheap movie theater though, it is not worth more than six dollars) and have some fun. 

Another movie that is more of a "family movie" (It would also be a great date movie), is "The Book of Life." This film/cartoon is about a young man named Manolo, and he falls in love with a girl, but he has the choice either to pick her, or his family ("Romeo and Juliet"). This movie would be very enjoyable because it takes place during "Dia de los Muertos" day in Mexico. This film would not only teach you a little about a Mexican tradition, but it will give you the chance to buy and eat popcorn. 

Hope you enjoyed this post and...
Hasta la vista, Amigos.

Films Based on Books

List of 5 Films Based on Books:

Title
Description
Picture
5. The Lord of The Rings Trilogy
The Lord of The Rings Trilogy were three books written by J. R. R. Tolkien. The movies won several Oscars, but the third one (The Return of The King) had won eleven Oscars.

4. Die Hard
Die Hard? A novel? Yes it was. This movie, with Bruce Willis and directed by John McTiernan, was inspired from the novel Nothing Lasts Forever, by Roderick Thorp. Rotten Tomatoes calls it “a definitive holiday action classic,” and they gave it a rating of 92%
Die Hard (1988)
3. Amityville Horror
It is almost October, and what is October known for? Yes, you got it, Fall. The real answer is Halloween. The Amityville Horror was a film directed by Stuart Rosenberg. The book was written by Jay Anson, in 1977, and it is “based on a true story” (Yes, quote on quote people).

2. The Birds
Another Halloween topic (probably the last one on this list) would have to be “The Birds,” by Daphne du Maurier is a book about birds attacking people (how cheesy, but hey, it’s Hitchcock) and killing them. This is suppose to, or it is seen as a horror. “The Birds” was directed by Alfred Hitchcock, and it was one of the scariest movies from back then.

1. Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
And number one is…..
Who Framed Roger Rabbit? So, who framed him?
The reason why this is number one is because this is the best (at least one of them) movie that we, and even people on their twenties, watched this movie in our childhood years. “Who Censored Roger Rabbit?” was a book written by Gary K. Wolf, in 1981. This movie was directed by Robert Zemeckis, in 1988. This movie was one of the greatest movies that I have ever seen. It is both funny and mysterious, and if you have not watched it, then stop reading this blog and go watch it.
Then please come back...please.   
Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988)
All of these movies, and books, were great and fun, but there are still more out there.

One TIP: Read the book before you watch the movie, always look if the movie you want to watch was based on a novel, and if it was, then take my advice, and go read it, then watch the movie.
