Upcoming Book/Movie


April 11, 2008
 

 The Prestige
based on
The Prestige
 
by Christopher Priest

The MISFITS read the book/see the movie club was the first club formed by our organization. The club's goal was to expand our reading and film horizons by comparing and contrasting films to their source material. We have read books by H. G. Wells, Robert Heinlein, Mark Twain, Jane Austen and other well known authors. We have also strayed from classic novels and short stories to read such works as plays by William Shakespeare and the original screenplay for the Batman feature film. The club has become an education in literary and film history as well as an education in how the film industry adapts written material. We've also had a lot of fun! 

The club meets on the second Friday of every month. Social time at 7:00 pm - movie beings promptly at 7:30 pm. Location rotates among club members homes.

The club also sponsors a couple of "a-thons" per year (such as the Bond-a-thon or the Toon-a-thon). We have a history of all the books/movies we have read/watched on line.

If you have any questions about the club, please email Tim, George or Sarah at bookmovie@misfit.org.
