It's a really good thing you're mentioning this because it can save a lot of people a lot of time and opportunity that would otherwise be wasted. <br /><br />I both read A Clockwork Orange and have seen the movie. Fortunately, the copy I got a hold of was the British version which I think I would prefer over the American one. Even though the movie left out the ending scene from the British version of the book, I did enjoy the movie especially its style of filming. Stanley Kubrick really knows how to film movies setting up the mood and so that's why I'm a fan of his work.<br /><br />I saw the new Invisible Man movie. Even though it drifts kind of far from the original story in the details and events, it stays true to the basic plot and does a good job of setting it in modern times.
