How many times have you read a book before seeing the movie? I just saw another trailer for The Amittyville Horror and got to thinking about how that was the first and only time I ever read a book before seeing a movie (the original movie with James Brolin). I suppose you could count all of the books I read about Che Guevara before seeing The Motorcycle Diaries...but that movie wasn't based on any book in particular. So is it just me or do other people favor the movie over the book? I will, however, say that what I pictured in my head while reading The Amittyville Horror was way better than the movie. Hopefully the remake will rectify that.
