The Last of Us a popular 2013 video game, has become a must-watch HBO series.

In light of the recent surge of movies adapted from books, it can be insightful to determine the costs and benefits of adaptation.

Family-friendly movie "The House with a Clock in its Walls" tells a brilliant story, contrary to the original novel, published in 1973, which is nowhere near as entertaining.

The Children Act, first published in 2014, is a heart-wrenching story of a judge determining the fate of a young patient refusing to get the life-saving treatment he needs based on his religious views, while also struggling with a marriage in crisis. The film of the same name, which was released on Amazon Prime on Friday, September 14, is equally beautiful and touching in its own way.
