Book to film: What’s your poison?
Odd Shots Post is up!
The other day I was talking to an author friend about my favorite movie, Practical Magic. Normally I’m a sucker for a great action flick (Transporter, anyone? Sexy accent, sexy body, over-the-top fight/chase scenes…what’s not to love?), but I must’ve watched Practical Magic at least six times over the years…and for me that’s a lot. I can count on two hands the movies I’ve re-watched, only twice. I love the story of the two sisters’ relationship with each other and the town. I love the heartbreak and the sadness and then the love story…and how magical it was. I loved the wacky aunts! They cracked me up. I’m aware that the Practical Magic movie was based on the book of the same name by Alice Hoffman, I just haven’t read the book. Yet. I plan to order it. I want to see the feel good, magical story I know from the screen turned into a great magical story on the page.
Which got me to thinking about books turned into movies, well, Hollywood’s version anyway…
