Whether you love--or hate--seeing your favorite books adapted for
the screen, this holiday season's multitude of literary offerings
should give you plenty of opportunities to exercise your critical
reactions.
USA Today offers an interactive holiday movie preview list, which includes a number of book-to-film adaptations, including No Country for Old Men (November 9), Love in the Time of Cholera (November 16), Beowulf (November 16), The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (November 30), Atonement (December 7) and Charlie Wilson's War (December 25).
And, just in case you fear Hollywood has a dimly-literary soul, David Dobkin, director of the Christmas comedy Fred Claus (also opening November 9), said, "I know where I will be on that weekend: No Country for Old Men."
