Julia and Julie

My husband and I went to see this movie. It was an enjoyable movie. I'm impressed all over again by Amy Adams, Meryl Streep, and Stanley Tucci. Now, I'm going to have to check out that blog, if it really does exist.

Have you seen this movie or read the book?

Twillight by Stephenie Meyer

I can hardly wait to see this movie. I've read the book more than once, and so excited to see this. It's opening on December 8, and that's way too long! I'm not sure the actors are what I picture Edward and Bella to be, but if they're good, they'll make me enjoy the movie anyway. Have you ever read a book that turned into a movie? Were you happy with it?

The Jane Austen Book Club

My husband picked this as audio book for me last year. I listened to this while doing laundry. It's about six Californians who formed a book club discussing only Jane Austen's books. There's only 6.

I am pretty new to Jane Austen myself. I only start reading Pride and Prejudice because the reading club I joined was so into Jane Austen. I didn't want to feel left out. I like Pride and Prejudice. I might have fallen in love with Mr. Darcy, thought I would personally date him. He's aloof and bordering on rude.

On the other hand, Matthew McFaden and Colin Firth makes for wonderful Mr. Darcy. So, back to this book-turned-into-movie, I like the movie much better. It's enjoyable and fun.

Favorite line?

Isn't it better to quit while we're ahead?
