I saw The Time Traveler's Wife twice this weekend. The second time I really liked it. When I watched it the first time I was too busy comparing it to the book. The book was better - but isn't that always the case? During my second viewing I was able to see the movie on its own merits. Although I think a little more character development would have been ideal, I was completely engaged with Clare and Henry's endruing love story. It is a very sad and heartbreaking story, but ultimately leaves you hopeful with a smile. And has McAdams ever looked more beautiful?
I'm not a big sci-fi nut, but if I was, I think I would have enjoyed District 9 even more. As it is, I was thoroughly entertained. I really liked the documentary style in which the story was told. It immediately sucks you into the picture and keeps you interested until the very end. District 9 was a nice surprise and something totally different to see at the movie theater.It's official: I'm in love with Summer. I have to mention how much more I loved 500 Days of Summer after seeing it for the second time. If you haven't seen this little gem, I'd advise you to check it out very soon.

How long ago did you read The Time Traveler's Wife? I'm convinced if I wait long enough between reading the book and seeing the movie I don't compare it quite as harshly as I do when I read the book then immediately go see the movie. My aging memory may have something to do with that!
I MUST see 500 Days of Summer!
