Movie Monday

So I've decided to dub Monday's on the blog "Movie Mondays." These entries will be dedicated to movies based on books. Upcoming movies and older movies worth remembering and the books that inspired them. I'll discuss what I think are the pros and cons of the movie vs. the book (and I want to hear your comments, so don't hesitate to speak up!). If there are any movies you think I should write about, shoot me an email at librariansti@gmail.com!

Today's movie is
Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader



One version of the book and the poster for the movie (it's going to be 3-D!!)

Now, I just saw the trailer this weekend, I had no idea that they were making it! I never got around to watching Prince Caspian, though apparently I need to now. Voyage of the Dawn Treader is my favorite book in the Chronicles of Narnia series, so it's no wonder I'm so excited about seeing it as a movie. :)

If you haven't read the book, here's a brief and almost spoiler-free summary:

Edmund and Lucy Pevensy along with their bratty cousin, Eustace, are transported through a painting into Narnia where they join Prince Caspian on a voyage to the west. The children are tested on this voyage, and visit strange lands and encounter unusual creatures.

And here is the trailer:


Now, it's been 4 or 5 years since I've read Dawn Treader but lots of the scenes from the trailer look spot on, so I'm really looking forward to this release!

What are your thoughts?

Coraline Trailer!

Here's the best trailer for Coraline so far. And it's actually Neil Gaiman's (he wrote the book) favorite! The movie comes out February 6th and I'll definitely be seeing it that weekend, so if you want to see it with me let me know and we can get a group of people to see it together! I know Kathleen and Mallory are already on board! dftba, Sti

First Blog Ever!

Well, this is the launch of the new Friendswood Library Young Adult Blog. I chose the name Book Bag after looking at the names of some other libraries' blog titles, but if there is a better name out there, let me know! I created this blog primarily so you can find out what activities are coming up for the 11-16 age group here at the library. I'll be posting brief descriptions of our activities, photos, book reviews, and other interesting things that I happen to see. In recent news: the TAG Christmas party was December 8, and everyone worked together to make it a success. Thanks to all the hardworking volunteers! We ate holiday snacks, sang Christmas karaoke, and had a snowball fight outside! Check out the library's Flickr site for all the pictures. We're taking a brief break during the Christmas holidays, but we'll be starting up again on January 11 with personalizing snack dishes to use every week. Instead of throwing away bowls and cups after our Fr...
