I’ve read that movie!

Weekend is always the best time for a movie. What if the movie you want to see is no longer in the moviehouse, what are you going to do? Since you are in a mall, have you tried buying for a DVD or VCD instead and watch at the comfort of your room? I always want to watch great movies in a wide screen and always had in this situation.

There’s a lot of VCD/DVD available whatever genre that suits you. I always had this reminder on my mind, don’t pick a movie that is not based on books (or comics). Because there’s a 50-50 chance that I’ll end up wasting my money and time of buying the DVD.

Great movies comes from great books, that’s my rule of thumb. There’s a lot of movie based books that I’ve read first before watching the movie or the other way around. And always a big chance of loving the book version than the movie. I could say that for the sake of cinematography, the story always suffer. I’ve seen “Silence Of The Lambs” for many times until I’ve read the eBook, the ending is different from one another. Another example is “Harry Potter and the Goblet Of Fire”, the movie lacks cinematography and didn’t emphasized the details that could be important to the future movie series.

Anyway, if you’re thinking of looking around for a book based movies, here are some links that I came across that might help you.
