A impressive motion picture can start as a script that is written just to be a motion picture, or sometimes a celebrated movie is an adaptation of an equally eminent book. Various wonderful motion pictures start in the mind of a eminent author. Here are a couple of motion picture adaptations from books for the year 2009.
“My Sister’s Keeper” was released in June of 2009. Based on the book of the same name by Jodi Picoult, it follows the troubles of a family unit with a ill adolescent, who conceived another kid by way of in-vitro fertilization in order to have a genetic counterpart to keep the first kid alive. The motion picture is a real tearjerker, yet the changed finale in the motion picture will dishearten anyone who has read the book.
“The Time Traveler’s Wife” based upon the best-selling novel of the same name by Audrey Niffenegger hits theaters in August 2009. It stars Eric Bana and Rachel McAdams. It is a romantic drama about the life of a man who travels through time and how that affects his marriage to his soul mate.
The next motion picture was based upon 2 books, “My Life in France” by Julia Child and Alex Prud-homme and “Julie and Julia: 365 days, 524 recipes, 1 Tiny Apartment Kitchen’ by Julie Powell. In theaters now,”Julie and Julia” is an enjoyable comedy about the intertwining lives of these two women.
2009 marks the 40th anniversary of what has been portrayed as the greatest rock concert in history. “Taking Woodstock” is adapted from the memoir of Elliot Tibor, a young gay man who played a part in making the concert happen. The film is directed by Ang Lee.
If you want your kids to laugh and laugh, you need to read them “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs”. If you are fond of the book you can look forward to the film by the same name that comes out in September 2009. Featuring Anna Faris, James Caan and the Saturday Night Live crew of Bill Hader, Andy Samberg and Tracy Morgan it is sure to be hilarious if it comes even close to the book.

Starring Viggo Mortensen and Charlize Theron. The tale follows the course of a father and son in post-apocalyptic times.
