Right now I'm eagerly anticipating "Hannibal." I didn't like the book as much as Red Dragon or The Silence of the Lambs, but I want to see Anthony Hopkins as Lecter again!
I also just finished "El Club Dumas," by Arturo Perez-Reverte, the English-translated version (excellent translation, BTW--even the dry humor of Lucas Corso, the main character, made it through the translation unscathed). This is the book the movie "The Ninth Gate" was based on. I liked the movie before I read the book, but now I appreciate it 10x more. I appreciate the movie more now because of the way the writers managed to "massage" such a complex and confusing plotline to be suitable (but still intriguing) for a mainly visual medium. The book is much more involving and mysterious, with many more characters and several intertwining plotlines. I recommend it to anyone who likes a good suspense/mystery novel.
So what movies/books are y'all looking forward to, or have seen or read recently that you enjoyed? I guess I'm bored and want to know what entertains the rest of the ATOT community.
Oh yes, and I'm also excited about the Final Fantasy movie...but aren't we all
