Fire the script writer! Please!

2008-10-02
While Azkaban is one of my favorite HP books, the movie is not. Once again, the script writer kept essential character scenes out of this movie- it's been like this with ALL the movies! And just like with all the other movies, Snape's character gets his lines widdled down to a toothpick. Azkaban really lost a lot of suspensful elements toward the end, too, not to mention some dark humor. For ex, Snape just "shows up" in the Shack bedroom, but how? It wouldn't have hurt the writer/director to show maybe 1 minutes' worth of Snape discovering the cloak, map, etc. I gave this a rating of 3 instead of a 1 for it's cinemetography. And that's being generous.

Wish it was better...

Well, it was pretty good. The dementors looked good in this movie and I thought Gary Oldman was perfect for the role of Sirius Black. It worth a watch.

What else can I say It's HP on Blu-Ray and it rocks baby!!!

It's Harry Potter need I say more. I really love how the producers kept as close to the original book. I can't wait for the rest of the movies.

It's Harry Potter!!!

2008-07-08
Who doesn't like Harry Potter. It's got excitement, children, fun, magical characters and creatures. As long as the people watching it are old enough to understand that it is fiction and that they can't walk through subway walls and they aren't going to have there mail delivered by owls, or that it's in any way okay to have children living in the cupboard under the stairs, it's great fun.

THE DVD IS GREAT. IT ARRIVED QUICKLY WITHOUT A SCRATCH. I WAS VERY HAPPY WITH PURCHASE.

New actors to the film series give even more depth.

Gary Oldman???
YES!!!!!!!
On of the best actors in Hollyweird assumes the role of Sirius Black.
It just couldn't have been anyone else.
Perfection.
One of the favorite books in the series is given the Hollyweird treatment.
They usually drop the ball on book adaptations, but the have succeeded on the Potter movies.
Nothing major is left out, just a few plot points here and there.
All in all, another fine addition to the Potter Empire.
