  • READ IT, WATCHED IT

    So today, for the first since I can remember, I watched a movie after I read the book. Over the years, I've heard so many people say, "The book was much better than the movie." Take Lord of the Rings, Hunt for Red October, and Pelican Brief to name a few (I'm sure you could name a whole lot more). So I figured I'd finally give it a try. After reading Grisham's, The Firm, I rented the R-rated movie (funny, the book wasn't R-rated) from Blockbuster's and ran it through ClearPlay. Yeah, they mixed characters, developed it too quickly, and radically changed the ending.

    So, with regard to The Firm, the book was indeed much better than the movie.

    Currently Watching (with ClearPlay!)
