Nights In Rodanthe, The Movie
The book Nights in Rodanthe by author Nicholas Sparks was released in 2002, the good news is… the movie version will be released on September 26, 2008 in US. I wonder when will it be shown in my country. For the record, the novels of Nicholas Sparks are the only ebooks I read categorized in love story genre.
Here’s the plot:
In the romantic drama Nights in Rodanthe, based on the Nicholas Sparks best-selling novel, Diane Lane stars as Adrienne Willis, a woman with her life in chaos, who retreats to the tiny coastal town of Rodanthe, in the Outer Banks of North Carolina, to tend to a friend’s inn for the weekend. Here she hopes to find the tranquility she so desperately needs to rethink the conflicts surrounding her—a wayward husband who has asked to come home, and a teenaged daughter who resents her every decision.
Almost as soon as Adrienne gets to Rodanthe, a major storm is forecast and Dr. Paul Flanner (Richard Gere) arrives. The only guest at the inn, Flanner is not on a weekend escape but rather is there to face his own crisis of conscience.
Now, with the storm closing in, the two turn to each other for comfort and, in one magical weekend, set in motion a life-changing romance that will resonate throughout the rest of their lives. -taken from official website of Nicholas Sparks

Eldest, The Movie?!
Eragon, the movie is a big disappointment, it was a shame because it is really a good book. It didn’t do well in cinemas. Many events on the book were not included in the movie. Most of the movie goers who loved the movie maybe because they didn’t read the book. Good for them.
Updated (July 17, 2008): The fan made video I posted here was deleted by Youtube. Here’s another fan made video. There’s no official announcement if Eldest will become a movie. Should or shouldn’t they make Eragon, the movie?
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.
