Book Haul...

So I've recently discovered Amazon's Warehouse Sales and went a little overboard.

Anyway, today I received two books and will be adding them to my TBR Pile :)

Surprisingly they're quite girly choices.

So the first book I got is Paranormalcy by Kiersten White. I read the first chapter on Amazon and thought it was genius. The girl seems very 'girly' and I haven't seen that in a while so I thought I'd check it out.

The second book was Louise Rennon's first book of her Confessions of Georgia Nicholson series: Angus, thongs and full-frontal snogging. I'd just like to say I loved the movie adaptation: Angus, thongs and perfect snogging so I'd thought I'd check the book out :)

Well that's all from me for now. Expect a review from these two books in my future and also I've my Hallowed by Cynthia Hand and City of Bones by Cassandra Clare books to review and post up today - kisses xx

Gossip in the Girls Bathroom

Lucy Hale as Lucinda Price and Alex Pettyfer as Daniel Grigori

This would be my last wish in life. For these two to act along side each other in the movie adaptation of Fallen.

That's how strongly I feel about this!

So if, by chance, some magical fairy being is reading this then please make my wish come true.

Visual Antic: War of the Worlds

This Summer, the last war on Earth won't be started by humans.

As Earth is invaded by alien tripod fighting machines, one family fights for survival. 

Narrator: No one would have believed in the early years of the 21st century that our world was being watched by intelligences greater than our own; that as men busied themselves about their various concerns, *they* observed and studied, the way a man with a microscope might scrutinize the creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water. With infinite complacency, men went to and fro about the globe, confident of our empire over this world. Yet across the gulf of space, intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic regarded our planet with envious eyes and slowly, and surely, drew their plans against us.  

So for about the fourth time in my life I watched the 2005, Tom Cruise version of War of the Worlds.

The War of the Worlds, a science fiction novel by H. G. Wells, is the first-person narrative of an unnamed protagonist's adventures in London and the countryside southwest of London as Earth is invaded by Martians.

Most movies are only successful because of the famous actors in them, this time it being  Tom Cruise  and  Dakota Fanning  but in this case even if it were lesser known actors starring it would still, undoubtedly be amazing. It even contained small parts from Morgan Freeman as the narrator and Channing Tatum as Boy in Church Scene (uncredited).

But then it is a Spielberg movie isn't is? Of course it's awesome. Amazingly the film was shot in only 73 days.

Ray Ferrier (Cruise) is a divorced dockworker and less-than-perfect father. When his ex-wife and her new husband drop off his teenage son Robbie and young daughter Rachel for a rare weekend visit, a strange and powerful lightning storm suddenly touches down. What follows is the extraordinary battle for the future of humankind through the eyes of one American family fighting to survive it in this contemporary retelling of H.G. Wells seminal classic sci-fi thriller.

I've heard a lot about this movie and mostly people saying it, in now way, compares to the book but as I will admit I did see the movie first *don't hit me* that still reamins to be know by me. I do think I own the book (packed away in a box until my room is painted) so I'll let you know.

Fallen: The Movie

Do your eyes deceive you? I think not.

The FALLEN movie is in pre-production slated for release in 2012. Disney optioned the rights to the four-part series in 2010.

The screenplay for the FALLEN movie is currently being developed and Lauren Kate is involved in a consulting capacity.

Storyline

When Lucinda Price was sent to Sword and Cross Reform School, she knew it would be hard, but she had no idea what lay in store for her. She never went looking for trouble, but it finds her--in the form of true love, death, murder, passion. Can she survive long enough to learn why she's always been haunted, why disaster seems to follow her around... can she survive at all? Written by Anonymous  

Am I excited you may ask? Well yes! Of course I am! Although truthfully? At the same time I'm very scared. What if they mess it all up completely?

Wow that's a lot of questions but I'm glad that Lauren Kate if involved in it because there are so many things that could go wrong: If Daniel is not hot enough I may just fall for Cam for starters. What if he too is not cocky enough. If the characters attitude sway or are OOC then it will fail tremendously.

The movie plot will have to keep the interest in both the mystery behind Daniel and the mystery of Luce's 'incident' that brought her to Swords & Cross.

Plus what if it gets their eyes wrong? Daniel's for starters HAVE to be a violet/gray colour and Cam's NEED to be a striking green colour. I hope they don't forget his sunburst tattoo.

Also if they do stray from the book on anything then I hope it's Luce's hair. I want it to be long like on the front of the book's because quite frankly it'll make her more attractive. ;)

Well I'll keep you updated on this.
