Water For Elephants

 I love a good book. One of my favorites this year has been Water For Elephants, and I'm looking forward to the movie, due out April 22nd.  The cast, in my readers opinion, is perfect to portray the main characters.  To read a New York Times Review of the book, click here....



 I've admitted before that this 45 year old woman is a Twilight fan. Robert Pattinson (Edward for Twi-hards) will play the lead roll  in the movie adaption and from what I can see in the trailer and photos - he's perfect for the part.  He may be a nimwit in interviews  (dude, get your hands out of your hair)  but he's actually quite good when the director shouts ACTION.  Talk about eye candy... in that british sort of way.

  3. I read water for elephants a couple years ago and it is one of my favorite books. I'm kind of afraid to see the movie ... sometimes they just can't live up to the book!

  6. I am 100 percent with you... amazing book and beyond excited for the movie. I hope the movie is every bit as good as the book, but with "Edward" in the lead how bad can it get?

  14. I LOVED this book! The movie will be good. Reese Witherspoon doesn't seem to make a bad movie so I am not too worried. Edward? Well - you know how I feel about Edward! Pattinson - not so much. Although he looks pretty appealing in this role. Will be curious to see if he CAN act!

  20. I already had this on my list of movies to see in a theater this year. When the Oscars aired, I realized I hadn't been in a theater for over a year.

    As for the Twilight movies, not my cup of tea, but my cousin and three of her friends always go opening day. My cousin will be 60 in July!!!!
