What Book-to-Movie Changes Have Bugged You?
In adapting a book for the big screen, adjustments are obviously necessary and often understandable — except when they're quite frustrating. Earlier this year the news came out that the My Sister's Keeper filmmakers were changing the end of the story for the film version, causing a bit of apprehension for fans of the Jodi Picoult novel. In my opinion, the change made sense for the film, but I also understand the loyalty people feel toward the source material.
Michael Phelps Cleans Up at the Star-Studded ESPY Awards
Many celebs hit the red carpet last night at the ESPY awards in LA to honor the stars of the sports industry. Samuel L. Jackson was the evening's host, and he kept the audience laughing with his jokes about Twitter.
Johnny Depp in Public Enemies — See It or Skip It?
Here's a movie I am definitely looking forward to — Johnny Depp teams up with Christian Bale for Public Enemies, released in the UK on July 3. Delicious Johnny plays legendary 1930s bank robber John Dillenger, Christian costars as the FBI's top agent Melvin Purvis, and Marion Cotillard, Channing Tatum and Billy Crudup also feature in the star studded film from director Michael Mann. Check out the trailer and tell me — will you see it, or will you skip it?
Watchmen: Fun For Fans
It's obviously difficult to adapt a beloved written (and, in this case, drawn) work for the big screen — and it’s downright impossible to make an adaptation that satisfies every viewer (or certainly every megafan). I truly enjoyed reading the comic book series Watchmen by Dave Gibbons and Alan Moore, and having seen the film adaptation, I don't dislike it. It's probably the best we could have asked for as far as adaptations go.
BuzzSugar at WonderCon: Watchmen Takes the Stage!
Saturday at WonderCon started with a bang: Watchmen director Zack Snyder appeared before an extremely packed house along with his cast to reveal about 20 minutes of footage from the movie, including the opening credits.
The conversation was lively and the footage very exciting. Of course, I can't give my final opinion till I've seen the movie start to finish, but based on what I saw this weekend, it's hard for me to imagine this film stumbling too hard.
Jonathan, John And Rob Watch the Watchmen!
Last night, stars flocked to Leicester Square for the premiere of one of the most anticipated movies this year — Watchmen — an adaptation of the immensely popular graphic novel. The cast of the movie, including Malin Ackerman, Billy Crudup, Matthew Goode, Carla Gugino and Jeffrey Dean Morgan showed up in their finest on the yellow, smiley-faced carpet last night, and greeted famous fans of the book including Jonathan Ross, John Thomson, gorgeous Rob Kazinsky and also Rhydian Roberts!
If you fancy checking out the book before the movie is released, you can catch up with the discussion in Buzz's book club!
New Watchmen Trailer Provides More Info
OK, I'll admit it: When I first saw the teaser trailer for Watchmen, I didn't really get it. I liked the look of it and I think the use of that Smashing Pumpkins song "The Beginning Is the End Is the Beginning" is inspired. But I didn't understand what was going on, unfamiliar as I was with the source material.
D&G Celebrates New Smell With MM, Kate and Mischa
Matthew McConaughey cleaned up real nice (just like a good spokesmodel should) for the launch of Dolce & Gabbana's new fragrance at the Gramercy Park hotel in NYC last night. It certainly didn't hurt that he had his gorgeous girlfriend Camila Alves on his arm. Also out to celebrate the scent were starlets like Anne Hathaway and a stylish Mischa Barton (where has she been?).
Dedication: Too Weird for Its Own Good
Dedication, the directorial debut from Justin Theroux, is a weird little movie. And while that's not necessarily a bad thing, Dedication gets a little too lost in its own weirdness, ultimately overwhelming what could be a sweet, unlikely love story.
At the heart of Dedication is Henry Roth (Billy Crudup), a basket case of a children's book writer who occasionally has to put heavy objects (encyclopedias or other large books, preferably) on top of himself to feel safe.
Mandy Premieres Her Dedication
Mandy looked like a vamped up version of herself at the Dedication premiere in NYC last night. While we're a huge fan of the actress, we're not loving this harsh look. We bet her costar Billy Crudup wasn't into it much either.
