However, one low-key genre is also gaining some attention: the books-to-film. Though you could argue book-to-film adaptations span many genres, there are certain key things all great adaptations must have.

Doctor Strange, Fantastic Beasts, Moana and 11 Other Films to Look Forward to for the Rest of 2016
It's August! Over the weekend, the highly-anticipated, much-talked about, action-packed, and gritty DC film Suicide Squad marched its way in theaters. Though like its predecessor Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice back in March, Suicide Squad was met with mixed reviews from both critics and fans. Still, it was one of the most anticipated movies this year and the last few days prior to its theatrical release were the most tantalizing.

So Fetch! 5 of Lindsay Lohan's Most Memorable Performances
Before all the wild parties, booze, and drugs, Lindsay Lohan was this fresh-faced, adorable, little red-head. We loved her since her impressive performance in The Parent Trap. LiLo's future was bright and promising, and she already had an awesome filmography at such a young age. She has worked with Hollywood A-listers such as the late Natasha Richardson, Tyra Banks, and Jamie Lee Curtis.

In Defense of Alice Through the Looking Glass
Back in 2010, the Tim Burton-directed Alice in Wonderland made a billion dollars in the box office, despite the fact that the critics weren't too impressed with it. Of course, a sequel was inevitable - even though it took too long.

Babies, Bust Ups And...Death?! My Predictions for Bridget Jones' Baby
We'll see the third installment of Bridget Jones this year, and much of it is still shrouded in mystery which gets me very excited. After all, it won't be based on the third book in the Bridget Jones series, Mad About The Boy.

10 of Jake Gyllenhaal's Greatest Film Performances
Jake Gyllenhaal is one of my favorite actors. Not only is he really talented, but he's also intelligent, charming and he uses his fame to support various causes to help people and the planet. He's environmentally conscious, recycles regularly, and spends $400 a year to have trees planted in a forest in Mozambique! Most notably he is the Honorary Chair of the New Eyes For The Needy Advisory Board - a charity which provides glasses for those who can't afford them. He has been donating to the cause since he was young.

Ridley Scott Is Preparing for a New Sci-Fi Saga Partnership with Disney
Growing up I often had my nose buried in any number of fantasy novels, from the Lord of the Rings to Percy Jackson, from Harry Potter to Maze Runner. Each story was a new adventure and having the intensely vivid imagination that I have, these sagas would always whisk me away and wrap me up in the magic, mythos and danger that were being told.

The Red Necklace Is Coming to the Big Screen! Who Should Play Our Favorite French Revolutionaries?
This past week, one of the things aiding me to finish my projects and other requirements before the dreadful finals was listening to The Red Necklace audiobook. Narrated in Tom Hiddleston's charming voice, you'll be captivated by not only the story, but how magnificent he is at giving life to each of the characters. His impressions were on point and truly fascinating! You will pause to think whether or not it really is just Tom, or other actors' voices as well.
