Should books be made into movies?  Twilight was a real hit as a movie and even bigger as a book.  I was disappointed in some of the character choices and some of the parts that were left out or changed to suit the movie.  However the movie encouraged others to read the series.  I was very disappointed in the movie Bridge to Terabitha.  The movie makers made up the fantasy part of the book to sell the movie.  Now there is a movie out based on the short picture book Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs.  Not sure if I want to sit for 90 minutes to watch a 5 minute book.  I recently watched the movie Inkspell.  Since I did not read the book, I had no idea what it was about.  Now I wish I had read the book.  Guess I could read the rest in the series.  City of Embers was a good interpretation of the book.  I liked Bill Murray as the mayor.  How do you feel?  Should you read the book first?  Should some books just not be made into movies?
