Movie Tangent: City of Bones (August 21, 2013)

So, I just wanted to say a little something about the fact that the new City of Bones movie comes out in (about) TWO WEEKS!

For those of you who haven't really been following all that jazz, here's the latest trailer:

Now, I'm not sure how I feel about this whole deal. Fact is, I already had the hugest let down of essentially my life when The Host movie finally came out and it was nothing like the books. I'm trying to mentally prepare myself for the same sort of let down (if not possibly a worse let down, considering the fact that, well, I at least liked the acting choices for The Host whereas for this one, what the heck were they thinking?), but it's not really working. I'm still excited for it.

Any comments? Anybody else who's having some slightly jumbled emotions involving the upcoming release?

The Perks of Being A Wallflower - The Movie

I had the great opportunity of attending an early showing of the new Perks movie this past Thursday, August 30th, and we had the pleasant surprise of the fantastic Stephen Chbosky (not only the author of Perks the novel, but also the writer and director of Perks the movie) showing up for a Q&A after the film.

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to speak about the film, exactly, but I will say that it was absolutely amazing and that as a die-hard fan of the novel, I can promise all other Perks lovers that you will not be disappointed. Honestly, I adored it. I laughed. I cried. Basically, it rocked.

Anyway, after a nice Q&A with the audience and a film studies professor from ASU, Stephen Chbosky ran out that door; to attend a Rocky Horror Picture Show festival. I know, right?

In case you haven't seen it yet, here's the teaser trailer for I Am Number Four, currently in production and to be released February 18th, 2011:

In spite of the fact that this clip is, honestly, the personification of a "teaser" trailer--it's really lying to us, calling itself a trailer--I have to say that I can't wait to see it . . . and that I should probably finally get to reading this book by next February.
