Read More Parallels: Time Travel for the Whole FamilyI’ve stayed away from discussing Marvel movies on Novel2Screen. Why? Because there are a million and one articles about Marvel movies. Two, I’m not a comic book junkie. If you want to read an in depth dissection of the movies compared to the comics, I’m not your girl. Someone out there has done it better. […]
Read More Captain Marvel – Just a GirlShadowhunters Season 3 kicked off with On Infernal Ground opening with our first view of Alicante, Simon stuck in the Seelie Court, and Jace having too many waking in dream moments. This season appears to be picking up right where the book City of Fallen Angels begins, my least favorite Clare novel. This can go two ways: this […]
Read More Shadowhunters – On Tenuous GroundHello, fantastic Novel2Screeners! Rebecca here. I know I haven’t written much for a while, but I’ve been deeply immersed in Diana Gabaldon’s “Drums of Autumn,” the fourth book in her “Outlander” series, which I will begin blogging about next month (prior to the fourth season of the show on Starz this fall). And if you’ve […]
Read More A Wrinkle in Time: The AdaptationThis weekend I took my little girl to see Beauty and the Beast. I could review the film, talk about how the live action musical was identical to the animation, mention how Emma Watson has a lovely voice but Luke Evans out-shined as the villainous Gaston, or rehash Disney’s obsession with dead moms. (To be […]

There were changes made as in every adaptation, but the ending to By the […]
Read More Shadowhunters: By the Light of Sebastian is Coming!Please note, the following article may contain spoilers for those not familiar with the books or haven’t watched the show. If you thought the death of Jocelyn was extreme, tonight was an extreme sport adaptation of The Mortal Instruments world. Oddly, I liked it. Some criticism from the fandom about the show has ranged from […]
Read More Shadowhunters: Love on the RocksPlease note, the following article may contain spoilers for those not familiar with the books or haven’t watched the show. If I didn’t know better, I’d think the writers of Shadowhunters were getting political. But tonight’s episode was written weeks, if not months, ago – long before the POTUS Donny tossed out the U.S. government’s […]
Read More Shadowhunters: Iron (with a Side of Wheatgrass) SistersPlease note, the following article may contain spoilers for those not familiar with the books or haven’t watched the show. Freeform killed my hopes that we would see more mother/daughter drama between Jocelyn and Clary. Literally killed it. The fandom has been a buzz with love/hate comments about the show bumping off Clary’s mom. There […]
Read More Shadowhunters: Dust & Shadows of MomsPlease note, the following article may contain spoilers for those not familiar with the books or haven’t watched the show. Whoa! Am I the only one going, “Holy cow! Thank you! That was the episode I was waiting for!”? For die-hard novel fans, Day of Wrath may not be your cup of tea as there […]
