Earlier this week, I noticed that Hulu has a new movie category called films based on books. The image of a salty Mr. Willis called to me from the list. So I have decided to start with Hostage.
Hostage is a 2005 movie thriller starring Bruce Willis and directed by Florent-Emilio Siri. The film is based on Hostage: A Novel by Robert Crais (adapted for film by Doug Richardson).
Although I am almost positive that I must have seen the movie when it came out, I cannot remember it. [Is that a bad sign?] So I am considering it "new to me."
Check out the trailer for the upcoming movie Alex Cross (due for release on October 19, 2012).
Based on Cross by James Patterson (Alex Cross novel #12), the crime thriller stars Tyler Perry, Matthew Fox, and Rachel Nichols.
Today, Cross was re-released with the movie tie-in cover of Alex Cross (its name was changed to Alex Cross).
I must confesss: I HAVE NEVER READ A JAMES PATTERSON NOVEL.
So, I am not super excited about it. I blame the movies Kiss the Girls and Along Came a Spider. I couldn't get through them. The Silence Of The Lambs? Couldn't finish it. Not that they were bad ... at least the parts that I saw through my fingers. Seven? Saw it. Liked it. Freaked me out.
I'm convinced that serial killer movies aren't for me. Curiously, television shows with serial killers don't bother me. Go figure.
I feel like I should read some Patterson books anyway. Does he have a good series that doesn't involve serial killers?
UPDATE (10/3/12): Goodreads has suckered me in with its book-movie cross-promotion. I signed up for the book giveaway and RSVP'd to the movie (showin' Tyler Perry some support). Who is gonna hold my hand? SMH.
I was looking at DVDs available from the library and came across Fantastic Mr. Fox. Recently, I heard someone refer to George Clooney as Mr. Fox - connecting his "foxy" looks with his film character. Clooney was the voice of Mr. Fox in the film.
I like George Clooney. I like animated films. I wondered why I hadn't seen the movie before. Then I looked up the trailer on YouTube. My first thought was, "Meeh." Is the trailer why I didn't see it? I can't remember. In looking at the YouTube comments, folks didn't think that the trailer did the movie justice. I decided against watching it until I realized that the film was based on a book of the same name by Roald Dahl (other famous works James and the Giant Peach, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, The BFG - The Big Friendly Giant, Matilda, and The Witches).
It made me wonder, did the movie trailer kill Fantastic Mr. Fox at the box office? Can a movie trailer make or break a movie? Maybe. Movie-trailer maker Amanda Woods (played by Cameron Diaz) said in The Holiday, "That's why they pay me the big bucks."
