It has been a while since I logged on and did anything to this blog.
Work and family keeps me fairly busy but i thought I would try and incorporate a bit of my original blog I wanted to setup and this one.
I love reading and going to the movies, so naturally this brings me to movies based on books. How do they rate??
One of the best portrayals I have seen is "The Kite Runner" Khaled Hosseini.
"In a divided country on the verge of war, two childhood friends, Amir and Hassan, are about to be torn apart forever. It's a glorious afternoon in Kabul and the skies are bursting with the exhilarating joy of a kite-fighting tournament. But in the aftermath of the day's victory, one boy's fearful act of betrayal will mark their lives forever and set in motion an epic quest for redemption. Now, after twenty years of living in America, Amir returns to a perilous Afghanistan under the Taliban's iron-fisted rule to face the secrets that still haunt him and take one last daring chance to set things right."
This is an amazing story and a very good adaption to the big screen (2007).

One of my favourite film adaptations too. Really sensitively done, and I was thrilled that they hired an Afghani cast and didn't turn it into a big Hollywood blockbuster.
