The Spectacular Now

 Stars Shailene Woodley and Miles Teller

The Spectacular Now is a National Book Award Finalist by Tim Tharp, and now a major motion picture. Sutter is a reckless senior. He's the guy you want to see at your party. He'll get everyone dancing. He'll get everyone in your parent's pool. He maybe the life of the party but he is no star in school. He's not exactly a shining academic star. He doesn't know what he's going to do with his future, he wants to live in the "now." When he wakes up on a random front lawn, he meets a girl named Aimee. Aimee is a social-disaster.  Aimee needs help, and it’s up to Sutter to show Aimee a wonderful time and then let her go forth and prosper. But Aimee’s not like other girls, and before long he’s in way over his head. For the first time in his life, he has the power to make a difference in someone else’s life—or ruin it forever. In my opinion the movie was spectacular. It showed the true life of the average teenager, the parties, the problems, the confusion of your future, and the romance. It's a movie worth seeing. 

The Spectacular Now is on DVD and Blue-ray.

Perks: A Coming-of-Age Story

**Although this movie was released over a year ago,
it is still definitely a awesome movie to see and has to be one 
of my favorite books to become a movie.

First published in the year 1999, The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a tale that follows Charlie (Logan Lerman), a misunderstood 15-year-old, through his first year of  high school.This coming-of-age story describes "the uncharted territory of high school. The world of first dates, family dramas, and new friends. of sex, drugs, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Of those wild and poignant roller-coaster days known as growing up." [quote from summary on back] All while coping with his first love, Sam (Emma Watson), the suicide of his best friend, and his own mental illness. The freshman is taken under the wings of two seniors, Sam and Patrick (Ezra Miller), who welcome him to the real world.

Fallen: Another Supernatural Romance

Fallen

This bestseller by Lauren Kate is a story about a teenage girl who is sent to reform school, where she just so happens to meet the (supernatural) love of her life. You can compare it to many other supernatural love stories like Twilight or City of Bones, but you'll just have to wait and see to find out if its better, for yourself. Although this movie comes to life next year (2015), it is definitely one to be anticipating for.

The Giver

Fans of the 1993 novel The Giver finally got a glimpse at the highly anticipated movie adaptation when a brief trailer premiered on the Today Show. 

The beloved story by Lois Lowry focuses on Jonas, who lives in a seemingly Utopian society, without war, pain, suffering or difference. Yet Jonah’s world is thrown upside down when he’s selected by the community to absorb the memories of the Giver, an elderly man who alone knows the true pain that life has to offer. The book has long been a YA favorite and there’s no doubt the movie adaptation will be a big event, with Brenton Thwaites playing Jonas and Jeff Bridges playing the Giver.

The brief trailer promises a film that’s packed with action and sinister revelations, with a voice-over from Meryl Streep (who stars as the Chief Elder) and ominous warnings from Bridges.
