I went to see District 9on Friday at 7:30. Wondering why my boyfriend and friend were able to meet our other friends (all 10 of them) who had been saving seats, basically walked into a rather quiet theater (almost unheard of in NYC) which was not full to capacity and there was no line… Then we sat down and watched what is easily aside from Star Trek, the best movie of the summer. Seriously, this movie kicked ass. Still in a state of best-movie-ever shock, we then left the theater and were greeted with the longest freaking line of people I have ever seen. There was the line I had been expecting to see when we first entered. So we were lucky to choose an earlier viewing time, thus avoiding the noisy, obnoxious movie goers and all the while seeing the best movie of the summer, aside from Star Trek.
See this movie. It’s bloody fantastic. Check out the website, it’s pretty cool and very “Lost-esq”.
The sixth installment of Harry Potter: Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince was…Great!
We just got back from seeing the sixth movie in the Harry Potter series and I do believe it lived up to expectations. Although, this film was different from the previous Potter films, in that it led the way to what will be that very last movies ( the 7th book will be divided into two separate films but will be filmed as Lord of the Rings was back to back). It felt more like a transitional film such as The Two Towers, leading us into an opening for the final ending.
As we have grown up, J.K Rowling’s characters in Harry Potter have also grown and both book and film have become darker with each new beginning. The Half Blood Prince was no different and I wasn’t disappointed to sit through an even darker film yet. It had some really beautiful visual affects that are worth sitting through in themselves. This film had less action and more time for the actors to finally display their true acting skills. And what good little actors they have become! I was thoroughly impressed, especially with Emma Watson and Rupert Grint’s performances. They have grown into their acting shoes and really pulled off some fantastic acts. Oh, and what it is to see the hormones flying around as both cast and written characters are now that age. Daniel Radcliff felt the same to me as in every other film…nothing too terrible, nothing too mind blowing. Maybe he just only does fabulous work in the nude (Equus)??? I dunno, but overall I liked this movie and I’d give it three and one half diamonds if I could actually put half diamonds on here…
Tomorrow can’t come soon enough as Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince comes out! Well, actually it’s out tonight at midnight, but that’s a little late for me since I’ll be getting up at 5:30am. So tomorrow it is!!! I’m super excited!
Here is the Official trailer to build the anticipation:
So, I am leaving in about 15 minutes here to go see “Wolverine”. I’m hoping it’s not going to suck…but if it does at least I’ll only lose $6 (it’s a matinee) since I woke up at the crack of dawn for this. Last night we saw about 20 minutes of the movie due to some luck. Apparently a disgruntled ex-employee of Fox Studios was really pissed and leaked the movie online, haha. It was our good fortune to have a copy in our hands, but as it turned out some of the, uh, movie effects were unfinished. I can’t stand less than perfect quality, so here we are going to the matinee this morning…but can you go wrong with Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds? No.
