Normally book/movie reviews become a little tedious, but your style is fun and now I'm going to have to check out a few of the ones from your list that I've missed.<br />I didn't know that Ella Enchanted was a book first. I loved the movie!<br /><br />May I make a few recommendations? Given your list I think you'd really enjoy: "Poison Study" a book by Maria V. Snyder. I checked out the first three books in this series. I cracked open this one, intending to read a few chapters before falling asleep. Eight hours later, my husband was waking up for work and I was finishing the last few chapters. I could NOT put it down! The following books were completed in the next couple of days. <br /><br />Also, (and I know this is going to sound super cheesy but...) the movie, "George of the Jungle" starring Brendan Fraiser. The story is sweet and the humor and one-liners never end. I can watch this over and over and over...you get the idea. :)~Michelle @ Don't Eat That Cookie~https://www.blogger.com/profile/08730325799678379989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4497760910646342088.post-86988556197324075662011-01-21T23:28:02.155-05:002011-01-21T23:28:02.155-05:00ELLA ENCHANTED THE MOVIE MADE ME CRY HYSTERICALLY!...ELLA ENCHANTED THE MOVIE MADE ME CRY HYSTERICALLY!

And there is a great priest character in it too!Lieslhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04568652187821916186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4497760910646342088.post-10267201947671435262011-01-14T09:15:21.424-05:002011-01-14T09:15:21.424-05:00Oh wow, I forgot about Stardust!! I love that one!...Oh wow, I forgot about Stardust!! I love that one!<br /><br />I own the BBC version, which is closer to the book, if you want to borrow it. However, I'm with you: people are so enraged by the 2005 version because they want to be seen as the people who love "the original." I happen to think the 2005 one captures the spirit of the book without the extra 7 hours of movie watching (and "oh my goodness, what were they thinking when they looked in the mirror").<br /><br />Someone else told me to read <i>Bel Canto</i>, so now I guess I must!<br /><br />Good post and thanks for the plug!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13304484454718892120noreply@blogger.com
