Tuesday Tunesday! Coldplay- Atlas plus some Catching Fire stuff

Coldplay is one of my favorite bands.  And they put on a spectacular live show, so I recommend that you check them out if you can!

 

And it doesn't hurt that Chris Martin is pretty good looking in that dorky cute way.  See look:

 

 





look how flexible?

 

 

 

Anyways, they recently put out a new song called Atlas, which is going to be on the Catching Fire soundtrack!  It's a really good song, making it seem that Coldplay is heading back to their roots!

 

Here it is:

 

 

And now for some Catching Fire stuff:

 

 

 

Can you believe its almost time! I was thrilled with how the Hunger Games turned out, so I am super excited for the second installment. First I have to re-read the books.

 

in anticipation for the movie!

 

 

 

 

 

 

And I have a girl crush on J-Law.



 

Top 10 Tuesdays: Top Ten Best/Worst Movie Adaptations

 This is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.

This week's theme is the Top 10 movie Adaptations. I've split them up as the 5 best and the 5 worst. I do wish that every book made into a movie would be 5 hours long and include every single chapter/line. That’s just not going to happen.  The thing that pisses me off about movie book adaptations, is that the screen write always feel the need to change the ending. I mean…really?! Most have read the book, know what is going to happen, then you want to make some artistic decision? Ugh. 

So... my list (in no particular order)

5 Best:

-The Notebook - Actually pretty much all of Nicholas Sparks books, I find the movie better. I guess it doens't hinder the movie by always casting such hotties.

- The Hobbit– I felt like this movie was awesome. I saw it before I read it though- so that may be why.

- Harry Potter- while not the best, they did a pretty fantastic job. And I just can’t speak ill of HP. Of course the later movies were done a lot better.

- He’s Just Not That into You. For the type of book that this was, I loved the movie.

- The Hunger Games – the same as with HP. Not a bad adaptation. Plus I love Jennifer Lawerence. Yup. Girl crush.

-Bonus: Life of Pi. Exactly how I pictured it.  

5 Worst:

- Twilight series – K-Stew. Oh man. I know, I’ve been told I look like her, (which I’m not sure if I should take as a compliment or not…) so I should kinda like it. But what a blah movie. Whoever directed this should be shot. But I did watch all 4 of them hoping they would get better.

- I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell- While not a great book to begin with, the movie could have been hilarious, and it ws lack lustre to say the least.

- Confessions of a Shopaholic-  I loved the breeziness of the books and I found that the movie didn’t give it justice.  Why they changed the personalities of the main characters were changed, who knows? (okay...apprantley I lost my grasp of the English language...why they changed the main personalities, who knows? is what it is suppose to say!)

- The DaVinici Code/Angels and Demons- Tom Hanks, seriously? Not who I pictured Robert Langdon to be at all.  I could see what they wanted to do, but just no.

- The Nanny Diaries- I know this one is a bit in the left field but I just watched it on Netflix, and yah… what this shit Scar Jo?

 

Whats on your list?
