Right now, I have set up a books display pairing books with their movies. It is really amazing how many best sellers Hollywood is using for movies. Gone Girl, Unbroken, Cider House Rules, and The Blindside are just a few. Martian is a fabulous read, even if you do not like science fiction. I am trying to catch the movie version.
I am looking forward to seeing Philbrick's The Heart of the Sea on the big screen. For those of you who have not read it, it the real story of Moby Dick in which a sperm whale attacked the whales ship Essex. This was the inspiration for Melville. I understand that Deep Down Dark will also be released as a movie. It is the story of the 33 Chilean miners who were rescued from a mine collapse in 2010.
Okay, I am really breathless with anticipation for the new Bond film which should be opening in two weeks. Daniel Craig, of all the Bonds, brings Ian Fleming's hero to the screen with a strength and grit that the others did not have. Let's hear it for Spectre!
Cheers,
Barbara
