Okay so I haven't read The Tim...Love this list! Okay so I haven't read <i>The Time Machine</i> yet but the movie was ... bizarre. I have to read the book to compare but I didn't know whether to nod off or just go "WTF?" all the way through. Plus it was oddly depressing.<br /><br />I agree, I didn't much like what they did with the Shopoholic movie at all. Didn't like that they made her American, didn't like all the tweaks they made to make it yet another formulaic rom-com Hollywood movie - would be interested to see what kind of adaptation the Brits would have made of it; reckon it'd be much more watchable!<br /><br />I never bothered to watch <i>The Da Vinci Code</i> - I quite enjoyed the book at the time but I certainly didn't want to have to sit through it all over again! So much exposition! <br /><br />Hey wait, did you say "new Dracula"??? Are they making a new movie of that one? I'd seen the Gary Oldman one several times so when I finally read the book a few years ago, I was surprised and confused at first that there was no seduction or sex or anything at all - I just had no idea they'd added all that in! It threw me for a bit. I kept expecting it and it never came, just because of that film.

Great cinematography, poor editing! Yawn, yawn, yawn. It seemed bent on marketing than story telling. "Stretch it out into two movies!
