I've decided to start a new feature, loosely entitled "Book vs. Movie." Ever since the birth of cinema, in the good old silent, black and white days, movies have taken inspiration from books that have been around for centuries. Even today, if a popular book comes out (Harry Potter, The Hunger Games), you can expect a movie to follow shortly after. The two mediums of story-telling, in our age of technology and screens, seem to go hand in hand. Therefore, as both a movie and book nerd, I thought it would be cool to compare different movie and book combinations to see how they were different, how the medium of storytelling affected the way in which the stories were told, and, perhaps, which one was the better medium. I'm really not an expert, but I've been watching movies and reading books practically my whole life, and quite avidly in recent years; so I'll do my best, and have a little fun along the way! Expect to see this feature soon!
