Book or Movie? 365 Days

So let us start talking about book to movie adaptations real quick. We love them and we hate them. Some of them flop and some of them soar. Some of them we wish they would give a do over even if it's in tv show format. Some of them we wish they had never touched when it comes down to it.

So what about 365 days? Honestly, it's a toss up for me. I enjoyed the book and there was so much more to the book than there was to the movie. The movie was good don't get me wrong. Don't come at me because I said it was good. It's not like I said it was great. It was good. 

However, let's talk about this. As a book it's great I loved a lot of the details. And it doesn't bother me about some of the aspects of the book. A mafia man kidnapping a woman to hope she falls in love with him after 365 days. Is that really idea for any woman. Not really but it's fiction. I can fall behind this. What happens in the book though is different from the movie. Not by a lot they just leave some things out. Some very hot things that the things they did show on the screen would be considered tame. 

The major plot points in the novel were all on screen. Except for the last part of the book. The last part of the book has been completely changed in the movie. I'm not sure if that was to set up for the next movie but I'm the end of the book and the end of the movie are both completely different. I wasn't sure how I felt about that towards the end after reading the book.

Because like all Americans I watched the movie before I read the book. The translated version of the book came out the day before my birthday and of course I purchased it and immediately started reading it. I was a little put off when I discovered so many changes but I loved the book as it's own entity. I love the movie as it's own entity. I do not love the idea of comparing the two together. So if I had to pick book or movie I'd pick the book hands down for the plane scene alone.

All About Illuminae - Book Review

Star Rating: 5 out of 5 stars Synopsis: This morning, Kady thought breaking up with Ezra was the hardest thing she’d have to do. This afternoon, her planet was invaded. The year is 2575, and two rival mega corporations are at war over a planet that’s little more than an ice-covered speck at the edge of the universe. Too bad nobody thought to warn the people living on it. With enemy fire raining down on them, Kady and Ezra—who are barely even talking to each other—are forced to fight their way onto an evacuating fleet, with an enemy warship in hot pursuit. But their problems are just getting started. A deadly plague has broken out and is mutating, with terrifying results; the fleet's AI, which should be protecting them, may actually be their enemy; and nobody in charge will say what’s really going on. As Kady hacks into a tangled web of data to find the truth, it's clear only one person can help her bring it all to light: the ex-boyfriend she swore she'd never speak...

Tempers, Tantrums, & Electronics Oh My

So we are just going to jump right into this. We have several game systems in my house. I mean several. Two of which are actually in my bedroom and my children. My loving children have decided that if I am in the living room they are going to go into my room and turn on the Xbox One and start playing games on it. They know that this is a major no in our house. Especially since Short Round decided to purchase a texture pack for Minecraft without permission recently. We now have supervised game time when mommy allows it. There are a few rules for this that we are going to be going by so they can get that supervised gaming time. And even then they are only going to be getting an hour of gaming. The reason that I deviated from the post that I was actually working on is that my children decided to do just this. They realized that I did not hit the surge protector that all of my gaming equipment is connected to. So they decided that they were going to go into my room and turn on my system....
