Fall Break

I wish I could say that I had the wildest fall break and I went everywhere and did everything. But I didn't. I planned to go to see a movie on Thursday but that was difficult when I had construction people all over my house constantly seeking my mom's help. Fortunately, the rest of the weekend was much better despite the disarray that my house is in. Saturday turned out to be good because I saw the movie for Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children and I liked it, just not as much as the first book.

I figured that there would be multiple movies in the future because it's a trilogy but I don't believe that's going to happen. The movie wrapped up the story line of what seems to be the whole trilogy and I was thankful for that. If the book had ended the story line and saved Miss Peregrine in the first book then ended, I believe it would have been more interesting. Though the movie was interesting, I felt like it was not only dumbed down for the movie, but also for the audience. The whole point of the book was that the kids weren't particularly superheroes, they just had peculiarities and I felt like the movie changed that a bit. In the movie, more far out things happened and everything was amped up a little bit too much which I see now is just for movie effect, but I wish it had been left alone and a little simpler like the book was. Finally, I'm glad I read Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children before seeing the movie, and I'm glad I saw it this weekend before it leaves theaters.
