Movies better than the books.
It's annoying when people say that the book is always better than the movie. Because that just isn't so. Today we have digital movies that can campture the imagination of the author, and also fix lame things they put into their stories. But until we start moving away from the cliche' actors and cookie cutter movies to today, there is this list.
*The Shinning
*Silence of the Lambs
*The Exorcist (Depends on if you like the connection with the exorcist and the demon. He was only in the story for a short time, and the movie has better qualities that can make up for it).
*Sin City
*Hellraiser
*More than one Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde type movie, at least.
*I know what you did last summer
These I say Probably, because I havn't read them. It's just based on what I know about them.
Jaws
Full Metal Jacket
Eyes Wide shut
CLockword Orange
*If you orgasm over Johnny Depp, or love Gene Wilder, then the Chocolate Factory movies.*
Secret window (Not a good movie, but I believe the book is a lot worse)
Lord of Illusions, (I dont know what Clives short story was called)
NightBreed, (Also forgot what his short story for this was)

I really hope that Final Fantasy 7 Advent Children starts a new trend with movies. Most of them now are just great special effects and very stupid human actors. I think if we just replace the actors with great special effects also we would turn very shitty movies into much better ones. I mean, who would have complained if Van Helsing was done that way? It could have only made that movie much better. And there are way too many other examples of that case.
Here is something I dont understand. South Park the movie, and that first shitty final fantasy movie made it to theaters. So how come this new, and much better Final Fantasy movie is only comming to DVD in the U.S.? The following for it here is large, and most of them are like star wars nerds who will go watch it seven or 8 times. They put kids animation movies in, and even those shitty disney animation movies that dont make profits anymore, so why not this one?
But no, of course, they just want to make another pg-13 horror movie like the Fog where more teenagers get killed by something else. I can just picture their conversation.
Executive: "Alright, how can we kill sexy teenagers this time? Another serial killer, zombies, Aliens?"
Writer: "No... Air... we will kill them with air. I shall call it, the fog."
Executive: "How much will it cost to make?"
Writer: "Less than the amount of kids who will come see it, I'll make sure its Pg-13."
Executive: "Brilliant, you've done it again."
