A impressive motion picture can start as a script that is written just to be a motion picture, or sometimes a excellent film is an adaptation of an similarly splendid book. A lot of impressive motion pictures start in the mind of a remarkable author. Here are a couple of motion picture adaptations from books for the year 2009.

June 2009 brought us the tearjerker story of “My Sister’s Keeper” from the tale of the same name by Jodi Picoult. The picture stars Cameron Diaz as the mother and Jason Patric as the father of two daughters, one of whom is very ill and the other of whom was in fact conceived to be a genetic match and keep her sister living. The book and the movie will both bring you to tears at time, but the distorted ending on the movie will likely be inadequate to the readers of the book.

August 2009 brings us “The Time Traveler’s Wife” based on the best-selling novel by Audrey Niffenegger. Starring Rachel McAdams and Eric Bana, it is a far-reaching romantic movie in relation to the life a man who has a genetic ailment that causes him to trek through time and his marriage with the woman who has cherished him her whole life.

The next movie was based upon two books, “My Life in France” by Julia Child and Alex Prud-homme and “Julie and Julia: 365 days, 524 recipes, 1 Tiny Apartment Kitchen’ by Julie Powell. In theaters now,”Julie and Julia” is an enjoyable comedy about the intertwining lives of these two women.

What has been portrayed as the “greatest” rock concert in history happened 40 years ago in August 1969. “Taking Woodstock” directed by Ang Lee is being released in August 2009. It is about a youthful gay man who unconsciously became a big part of Woodstock. It is based upon the memoir by Elliot Tibor.

One of the funniest and most comical kid’s books from latest times will be released as a film in September 2009. “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs” stars Anna Faris, Bill Hader, James Caan, Andy Samberg, Tracy Morgan and others. If you have read the book you are sure to be looking forward to the comedic fun from this amusing book.

October 2009 will bring us another ageless kid’s story. Like the book of the same name “Where the Wild Things Are” will follow the adventures of Max, who imagines that he sails away to the space where all of the wild things travel.

A couple of films on a more somber note will be released in 2009. “The Road” based upon the Pulitzer prize-winning and popular story by Cormac McCarthy comes out in October 2009. Starring Viggo Mortensen and Charlize Theron. The tale follows the path of a father and son in post-apocalyptic times. December 2009, will bring another somber touching account in “The Lovely Bones”, a storyline about a young girl who has been murdered and how she watches her family unit from heaven. It is based upon the book of the same name by Alice Sebold.

If you want to read the book before the film, now is your chance. These are just a few of the motion pictures adaptations coming out in 2009.
