Buzz In: What Books Do You Think Would Make Good Movies?
There are constantly news of books being adapted for film, and some are great ideas while others make me wary. There are loads of bad adaptations (remember Suburban Girl based on Melissa Bank's The Girls' Guide to Hunting and Fishing? Yeah, most people don't.) and a few examples of the opposite (The Jane Austen Book Club made for a better movie than book, in my opinion).
Two Straight-to-DVD Romances, One Long Night
Sometimes movies go straight to DVD and you can kind of guess why (sidenote: thank you, Molly, for watching Blonde Ambition so I don't have to!). But then there are those sweet-looking films with some big names — Alec Baldwin, Michelle Pfeiffer, Paul Rudd, Sarah Michelle Prinze — that pique my curiosity. What could be so bad about movies like Suburban Girl and I Could Never Be Your Woman that they went straight to DVD?
Is Sarah Michelle Still a Suburban Girl?
Sarah Michelle Gellar was looking very sleek in all black yesterday in NYC. We're still waiting to hear when Suburban Girl (based on A Girl's Guide to Hunting and Fishing) is coming out. It premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival but we haven't heard anything else about it.
We Welcome The Return of Sarah Michelle Gellar
SMG was looking fabulous at the Tribeca Film Festival where she debuted 2 of her latest films, Suburban Girl and The Air I Breathe. I am loving all the SMG sightings we are getting these days. Hopefully with these two movies on the horizon we will see a lot more of her and that adorable husband of hers, Freddie Prinze Jr. Can you all see her squeezing his hand on the carpet?Book Review: The Girls' Guide to Hunting and Fishing
I'm excited about a lot of the movies premiering at this year's Tribeca Film Festival, and Suburban Girl is near the top of my list. It's based on two of the short stories from Melissa Bank's collection The Girls' Guide to Hunting and Fishing, which was one of my favorite books when it came out in 1999. It had been a while since I'd read the book, so with the movie looming, I decided to drag my old paperback off the shelf and see if the book still holds up.

Is Oral Sex the New Kiss . . . and Prostitution the New Fear?

R-Bils' Puppy Is Almost As Adorable As She Is
