Travelling a lot makes me a voracious reader and I’m drawn to hard sci-fi. Nearly every sci-fi movie adaptation is a disappointment to me. Most are so far from the original story that only the character names are the same (and the three laws). One exception was Bi-Centennial Man. It was quite true to the original story and Robin Williams captured it perfectly. It lacked all the Hollywood overdone unrealistic special effects and makes you think just a little so it’s not one you see come up in rotation on all the movie channels.
On a lighter note, Beetleguise is one of the funniest movies made I think but it’s so overplayed they’ve kind of ruined it.
