running with scissors

I'm always interested to see movie adaptations of books. To compare my initial perception and imagery of the characters and settings with what movie makers came up with and found is what I look forward to do the most. Though sometimes there's the possibility of getting crushed. i.e: Robert Pattinson as Edward Cullen. (sorry Rpattz fans!)

The "Never Let Me Go" trailer is very promising, having Keira and Carey in it (two British actresses that I love!) And it had already inclined a tinge of sadness in me the first time I viewed it. Just like how I felt when reading the first half of the book. I thoroughly enjoyed it just the same as "A Thousand Splendid Suns" even though some people say otherwise. On the other hand, James Franco stars in Eat, Pray, Love as one the few minor characters. He automatically becomes my sole reason to watch it. (okay kidding, not that shallow..) 

I love Emma Stone in Superbad and Zombieland! She's funny without even trying. Hard to find that quality now, especially with young actresses like her. Anyway, I've read somewhere that the concept of Easy A's storyline is somewhat inspired by the novel, The Scarlett Letter. Yeay, another movie adaptation from a book. Hey, is it a trend now or something?

And lastly, 

I've gotten to know that this is a sequel but I never really get around to watching the first one. Should I? I just want to watch Shia LaBeouf on screen. The last time was Transformers 2 and him playing this dramatic role is something I feel like I need to see. Because sometimes when I see him, I still have the image of Even Stevens in my head. Do you remember that show? I loved it!

Edited: Eh you guys, I forgot "The Social Network"!

I've got 5 movies in my must-watch list. Now who's really gonna bring me? :p
