In books you can often get away with very overt moral messages in a way that becomes cheesie when carried over to a movie.<br /><br />Dead Trees--When it comes to Beastly, do you feel like you enjoyed it more because you read the book? I was comparing it to other beauty/beast stories that I've read and for me it didn't measure up, but maybe I'd feel differently if I'd had some knowledge of the novel.TheReadingPenguinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09732545193031333377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4207735679333163794.post-68208680248664795682011-11-28T16:40:17.687-05:002011-11-28T16:40:17.687-05:00I went to see The Muppets this weekend too and LOV...I went to see The Muppets this weekend too and LOVED it! I'm glad you enjoyed it. And I cried too so don't feel bad at all. I always liked How to Train Your Dragon, I want to buy that one. I'm sorry you didnt like Beastly, we really liked it. I liked some of the changes from the book. We bought Lego Harry Potter 1-4 for Wii but haven't played it much yet.<br /><br />http://deadtreesandsilverscreens.blogspot.com/DThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15445550272628303725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4207735679333163794.post-54461401595865158492011-11-28T16:32:06.083-05:002011-11-28T16:32:06.083-05:00I really enjoyed How to Train Your Dragon as well,...I really enjoyed How to Train Your Dragon as well, but you're right, it was very cliche. I'm going to try and read Beastly the book before I watch the movie because sometimes that helps me enjoy a mediocre movie better :)Lanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00002224549199474383noreply@blogger.com
