This is one of my all time favourite films - Jack Nicholson is wonderful. In fact, I gave up on reading the book as it was so different from the film _________________ Currently reading: The Tent The Bucket and Me by Emma Kennedy and Granny The Pag by Nina Bawden

I can't wait to see this film. The book is one of my favourites and I love Jack Nicholson. Have a feeling I'm going to really enjoy watching this  _________________ Reading: Miss Smilla's Feeling for Snow by Peter Hoeg

It's been one of those film that I keep meaning to watch, but have never got around to it. I'll be adding it to my rental list and hope it comes soon, as I've always enjoyed films with Jack Nicholson. Lisa x _________________ Currently Reading - Want to Play? By P.J Tracy (again)

Saw this earlier this year for the first time. Brilliant, Jack Nicolson is a great actor.
I recommend his latest film The Bucket List too. |

I think this is a great film although a little slow in places, but a fantastic plot. Great performance by Jack Nicholson too and I never saw the ending coming.
One interesting thing I heard about the novel is that the author wrote it all in one take (over the course of less than a week I think - I could be mistaken of course). No rewrites at all. Pretty good effort for a first draft wouldn't you say? _________________ Currently reading - Pride and Prejudice and Zombies |
