New Movies

I haven't watched a new movie in a while.  In fact, I can't even remember the last movie I watched, but I do remember the last good movie I saw.  It was called the Ghost Writer staring Ewen McGregor and Pierce Brosnan.  The film was directed by Roman Polanski and didn't seem to be overly popular in North America, but I think it did a lot better in Europe.

The characters were well rounded and the character of The Ghost, played by Ewen McGregor was particularly interesting.  The reviews for the film have been decent as it has garnered a rating of 7.5 on IMDB.  I am not saying it is the best movie out there as it does have its faults, but when I think of movies that I have watched recently and really enjoyed, this one seems to jump to the front of the line.  As seems to be the trend in movies these days, the ending is a surprise.

Though I have already seen the movie, I wouldn't mind reading the book.  I usually like to do it the other way around, but in this case, I might make an exception.

In other news, I am toying with the idea of expanding my book from the originally projected 30,000 words to perhaps 50,000.  If this is the case, I will be pushing back the deadline by another month or so.  Three months to write a book is still pretty decent I think.
