I think that I'm a very weird person in this topic...really, I don't have a favourite kind of films, but I enjoy very much a good action movie (with content on it, of course...not just explosions and special effects) and I also tend to judge a movie for his actors.
On the other side, It's strange with terror films and thrillers...I like to watch them, indeed, but after that, it's awful (like, when I'm alone and have to go to bed...haha).
I have a love/hate relationship with the book's adaptations too. I know that they usually sucks and kill the book, but despite that fact, I go to the cinema and watch them no matter the prejudice. For example, Harry Potter movies (AWFUL!, really) I have gone to the avant premiere of some of the movies, or the premiere day...but NEVER the day after, and with every single movie I get more dissapointed, it's sad...but I'm still hopeful! (Silly of me, I know).
With The Lord of the Rings is other story, anyway. I like a lot that adaptation, good job, Peter Jackson!
I prefer the cinema, totally. It's absolutely more exciting, but I'm not sure about the 3D stuff...speaking of that, I was looking forward to see Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland, but now I have recieved comments that are letting me down, it seems that it won't fulfill my expectatives, I don't know what's happening with Burton, I hope he doesn't fall in the cliches, it would be a pity. Anyway, Burton! Big Fish, I LOVED that movie...also Memories of a Geisha and Shine, I don't have a favourite movie, but that 3 are totally in my top 10.

It seems like you know a lot about films and directors!
ResponderEliminarI want to watch Alice in wonderland too! I think you just have to see it and then you can make your own comments :)
I agree with you concerning the adaptation of books. Most of the time I am really disapointed of the result. Many elements just can't be retranscripted in a film...
ResponderEliminarFor instance, in France, I saw various adaptations of Maupassant or Bazin, and even if you can find some good elements, I prefer the reading of the book.
adaptation of Tolkien's books to the movies was one of the best things of Peter Jackson as director...
ResponderEliminarBook's adaptions to films are really bad!
ResponderEliminarI agree with you with the Harry Potter stuff :B
and with some of the movies (I enjoyed Shine, but i got a nice chance to sleep wit memories of a geisha hahaha)
