Hey! I went to see Sahara this weekend, I liked it. But then again I was not expecting it to be filled with 'Best Dramatic Actor" performances.
What I like about these types of movies is that they are FUN! It's not trying to teach me a life lesson, or educate me on some moral issue, it's just a Fun ride. I leave the theater relaxed and refreshed because I was not weighted down by deep plots and 'serious' issues.
And for the books-to-movie transition thing, I saw and loved the first 'Dune' movie, but when I saw the movie I had not read the books. But you know what? I read the book and was amazed at how much of the book got into the movie. And get this I still like the movie version of Dune the best. I have friends that have a (shall we say) 'Totally Opposite' position on the movie.. They Hate it. And what's worse, they LOVE the Dune Mini-Series that came out a few years back.. I did not like the mini-series I found the sets and characters to be too 'clean' and did not have the same 'lived-in' feel of the Movie. The mini-series might have been 'true to the written word' of the book, but I think the Movie did a better job of capturing the 'heart' and 'feeling' of the book.
So what does all this mean? It means I Liked Sahara, now I might have to go find the books, it sounds like they would be worth reading.
Nuf Said, Cheers!
