Woah! was not expecting a new blogger layout... totally took me by surprise! anyway, on to the rease subject of this post.
After wating about a year for the moving to come out, A Wrinkle In Time premiered on ABC today care of A Wonder World of Disney. In case you don't know, A Wrinkle In Time is a children's book written my author Madeline L'Engle. And in my opinion, it is one of the best books out there (not to mention her other books which are also great). I was really excited to see this movie one, because It's one of my favorite childhood books, and two, Gregory Smith is in it (he plays Ephram Brown in Everwood). Let me just say that I am so disappointed. Whoever directed/produced the movie should be shot for many various reasons. The biggest reason of all is that they hardly stayed true to the book! I HATE that!!! The book is such a great piece of work to begin with, why change it?!?! I hate when people mess up great books by turning them in to only decent movies. Grrrr... If I were Madeline L'Engle, I would be pissed off like all hell right now. And as much as I love Gregory Smith as an actor, where do they get off casting someone as Calvin that doesn't have red hair? That is a vital part of his character! I do admit that Gregory played the part well, but the physical charactertics are just not there, and they are so important to Calvin's character. Grr again. But now I have to go study for my spanish final. I might have to purge that awful rendition by reading the book again though...
