Anybody read the book by Terry Brooks & think it would make an excellent movie? Based on the success of movies like Lord of the Rings, Narnia, Harry Potter at this time I would say if it were made into a film it would find a good audience!

Maybe, but I don't think it had a big cult following like the others did. However, I would love to see it made into a movie :)

The Lady of Shallot? That's my favorite poem! Getting back to the topic, I'm a heterosexual male, and the movie made ME cry. It was deeply moving. It's a shame that people will kill each other just because they are different.

Yeah, that was pretty confusing. It just ended and all of a sudden the camp was destroyed but we don't even find out why... were they looking for Harry?\n\nAs far as these people saying to read the book... we shouldn't have to if the movie was made properly.

Did he even read the book or did he put it down after the peach went into the ocean?\n\nhttp://www.allscifi.com/topics/info_28461.asp\n\nIts not a review of the book, its about the movie. I haven't read the book, if there are some things different in the book than in the movie, if your son actually read the book this review should at least jog his memory.

YES i have read Gregor the overlander its the best book ever!! Im waiting for the forth book in the chronicles to come out in may. I don't think it would be a good movie because she describes everything so well that i think the movie would be a let down. Who is your favorite character? Mine is Boots, She is so funny! Oh and i also like Luxa. No i have never read hoot but after seeing the commercial for the movie i think i'll read the book then watch the movie!

Just saw the movie today. I am a Christian and wanted to see it so I knew more to answer the questions that I have been asked by friends. The hardest thing I find to comprehend is why are people being so blown away with it, when it is clear that it is a work of fiction? It is a fiction book, that has just been made into a fiction movie. Dan Brown himself states that the book was fiction and is not based on fact.\n\nJust goes to show how cunning and conniving the devil can be.\n\nAs for the movie, didnt really enjoy it. A bit over the top.

Dear corky,\n\nhave you read the book yet?  What sort of presentation are you expected to do?\n\nYou could always look at critiquing the work.  The premise of the story is how human (in this case children) would behave when they are faced with various circumstances and pressure of nature and need for survival.\n\nYou could also analyse how the kids "organize" themselves - the formation of "society" on the island.\n\nYou could analyze how the kids built their own "religion" or belief system.\n\nYou could analyze how the author portray human nature.  Would these pointers be enough?

I was more angry with Alfonso Cuaron and the third movie. The parts that were cut about the Maurader's map, and details about the connection Lupin and Sirius had to Harry's father. Oye. I could go on for days. \n\nI'm the most happy with the fourth movie, really. Considering how much of the book had to be cut out due to time restraints, Mike Newell was AMAZINGLY true to the book. I loved that movie so much!

The book is awesome, there's no doubt about that.  But then the film is probably the greatest cinematographic realisation of a classic book that I know of.  "So what's it going to be then, eh?" ...  Well, I gotta say the book wins at a pinch, just because the images are so evocative, the message so well realised and bleak and brutal, the prose so, well, prosaic - Nadsat withstanding.  The film shines, but it shines best in its correspondence to what the book has already evoked.  Stunning question though, dude.

I saw a portion of the latest Harry Potter movie a couple of months ago at a relatives house. It was a portion where Harry Potter is running away from a dragon. It struck me at that time that it was both the best unreal creature animation I had ever seen in a movie, and the best blend in between the special effects part and the "real" part.

I just came back from the theater myself....I was kind of dissapointed, it lacks of the surprise factor of the book and the way the clues a presented in a way that the reader can become part of the solving of the riddle, on the contrary, on the film, the  \nriddles are solved in a very obvioud way it seems unreal..it is an average film but surely it will become a big blockbuster due alll the buzz it has generated.

LOTR...definitely...I loved the special effects, and Orlando Bloom was hot!!! It seems more credible than Harry Potter, which is a continuing saga...I still don't know how it ends!

I don't  agree with you. If so how can it be so popular book( the number copies sold is the evidence).\n   \n       There may be a few(who hate), like any other novel there are always going to be some critics who criticize it, but more or less its most popular book. \n\n    And  there are 2 reason why few people don't like it , is 1) because some people dint believe in  wizards, and magic sort of things,  2)Bcoz they may not have patience to read those leangthy volumes, coz most people prefer instant books. But once they get started they too will love it. This is purely my openion

I'd love to see some Dragonlance up on the big screen. The best of the trilogies in my opinion was probably the second one where Raistlin goes back in time. Loved those books (the early ones, they got a bit mixed later on) and I have a tatoo of a Draconian on my left arm...\n\nOf course the ultimate fantasy book in my opinion that would be ripe for the live action treatment (or even animation for that matter) would have to be The Silmarillion. Would have to be a series though. Theres enough material in there easily for a 6 or 7 season show. \n\nI just wish the Tolkien estate would reconsider selling the rights as they've said they'll never sell them as the story is too personal to Tolkien himself although 99% of the public would never make any personal connections I would think...
