World War Z with Brad Pitt..
Wow! I love scary, suspense thrillers. They are my favorite. Make sure you get your snacks before you sit down since this movie rolls super fast. If you get up you are gonna miss something. It was very well done. NOT one of those low budget zombie flics. Brad is one of my favorite actors. The novel is completely different and hasn't kept my attention. I vote for the film on this one.!
Novel Series: A Song of Fire and Ice by George R.R. Martin (Game of Thrones) Mr. Martin is a #1 New York Times Bestselling author. Fantasy, Medieval book series. Escape to the fictional world and time of Westeros. Thus far.six novels and the story isn't finished. Many of you follow this highly popular series on HBO. If you like queens, kings, conspiracy, dragons, magic and sword fighting with twists and turns you will be addicted. UPDATE: According to Barnes and Noble salespeople, there are two more novels in the series before the story resolves. Next season is #4. It is difficult to put the books down. The TV series is brilliant and the books are intriguing but the TV series is easier to follow. The books are more complex with so many characters it comes with an index and maps. Anyway you slice it, I give it a thumbs up.
Both are addictive. My friends and I get together for wine and dinner for season premiere and finale night.
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is the part of a trilogy of novels by the late Stieg Larson. I've read them all and own the movie version of the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. This is by far the most intriguing book series I have ever read. This story starts as a murder mystery set in Sweden but turns out to be three plots that merge and inner link. The American version of the film is wickedly good. It is graphic but well done. I thought it was great but I preferred the book series. Rooney Mara and Daniel Craig star in the lead roles. The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest and the Girl Who Played with Fire are the other two novels in the series. There is talk of making two more movies to finish out the trilogy. The original is a Swedish film but I preferred the American version more. Mara's performance was over the top. Check it out! Wildly suspenseful.
