Bridge to Terabithia

It looks like, despite the misleading trailers, that Bridge to Terabithia is holding up for reviewers, at least. Rotten Tomatoes gives it a fresh rating.

The Invention of Hugo Cabret possible movie

A friend just let me know that a movie version of the new book, The Invention of Hugo Cabret: a Novel in Words and Pictures, by Brian Selznick, might be made into a movie with the possibility of Martin Scorsese directing. Read more about it at Variety online here. The book has not been out long and is a 500 plus pages book that you can read in a couple of hours. Find out more about the book here at NPR.

Eragon Music

I still haven't read the book, Eragon or seen the movie, but I have listened to the movie's soundtrack composed by Patrick Doyle. Patrick Doyle composed worked on Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, as well as Bridget Jones' Diary. The soundtrack is now one of my recent favorites. Many of the tracks inlcude variations on a strong central theme. While I don't know what happens (obviously), the music does evoke mood and images that give a sense of what kinds of action/events are taking place.
