Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

Anybody actually read this junk? Anybody? Bueller? Bueller?


KNOWING - I be Knowing one thing. This movie was the shizzle until the very end. You gotta wonder how certain endings get approved. Reminded me of HANCOCK. Who the hell goes, "...and then we'll end with THIS!!"?? As far as sci-fi movies go, this one was damn good...until that Hollywood-crap ending. Also, had a little horror-suspense feel to it that we enjoyed. Nic Cage was his usual quirky self. Creepy apocalyptic concept. Great movie. Terrible ending...

THE UNBORN - Not bad. You've probably seen the preview and thought it would be good. We definitely got sucked in, but thought it would be better. Some somewhat scary parts. Maybe half a Hershey's squirt in my pants. They had a Megan Fox knockoff in this movie who always seemed to be walking around in some "cheekies." Perfect casting, if you ask me. Should've been scarier though. And she should've worn a thong...

MONGOL - Movie about the life of Genghis Khan before he created his empire. Pretty interesting. Beats watching a boring-a$$ documentary in Social Studies class. Cinematography was excellent. Don't all Asianish movies have beautiful scenery to look at? Felt like I was watching BRAVEHEART with Mongols. Gruesome fighting. Blood spurting everywhere. Definitely, a guys' movie. Apparently, proves the theory that guys do amazing things for their woman. It received some high ratings and I'd have to agree with them...

FRED CLAUS - Christmas in July! I don't know what the hell made me watch this movie, but I was pleasantly surprised. Vince Vaughn, Paul Giamatti, Kevin Spacey, Kathy Bates, Rachel Weisz, Elizabeth Banks, and Luda might've had something to do with it. Is it me or does Vince Vaughn always seem to be winging all his lines in every movie? They probably just roll the camera and let him go nuts. Can't believe he was in PSYCHO. Good family movie. Problem is, I was watching it all by myself. It was like ELF with heart minus the silly Will Ferrell antics...

HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE - Guess who the half-blood prince is? Sssssss...like I would tell you. Okay, I don't know what all you bibliophiles think, but I thought the movie was pretty damn good. Cool effects. More adult-like violence. Cutesy love dodecahedrons here and there. I wonder what it's like growing up on a movie set? You think they all "first kiss" on set, too? Weird, huh. Anyway, the best praise I can give this movie is that it made me kinda wanna read the books. Kinda. The movies take so long to come out that I always forget who's who. I always try to remember my questions for after the movie and run it by my Slytherin wife. Despite all the hype, I'm always pretty satisfied watching the movies. Of course, that may be because I've never read any of the books. The whole Harry Potter world is pretty genius and profitable...


Summer's winding down. Probably get depressed and watch even more movies during the remaining time...

Okay, see, I didn't want to ruin Knowing for you guys! I thought it was good right up to that crappy ending!!! After the movie Mark and I went on and on about how the ending should've been. Heh.

And, I have to admit something. Right before the trip, I spend about 2 hours on this blog. I wanted to download a movie to my ipod, and I didn't have anything in particular that i wanted. SO, i started from the very beginning of your blog and read all the reviews. LOL. In the end, itunes didn't have any of the ones I was interested in.

Lol...I read it too...

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (the book) will forever be in Dave and my "ridiculous moments" memory collection. After waiting longingly for the book to come out, I finally get it and am enjoying the heck out of it...then Dave, ever the idiot, scans the end of the book and says to me, "Eh, you know that Dumbledore dies?" I swear, my jaw dropped to the ground and I could NOT believe the idiocy.

Luckily, I have bad memory, so now I'm reading the book again, and though I know Dumbledore dies, I forget how and all that. Grrr. Luckily that was still early on in our relationship so the honeymoon phase was still in effect and it ended with just some swear words and yelling.
