Review: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II
The Deathly Hallows: Part II is an exciting, heart pumping, and near perfect finale to the Harry Potter series. We last left our heroes as they escaped Malfoy Manor and our villain had acquired the Deathly Hallow, the Elder Wand. Harry, Hermione, and Ron pick right back up where they left off, on the trail for Voldemort's Horcruxes, and they have →
Now Playing – Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1
A few years back when the last Harry Potter book was released I went with my sister to pick up her reserved copy at Borders. Stepping hesitantly into the throngs of Potter devotees I picked a seemingly safe place away from the costumed clusters animatedly discussing their favorite memories from the series and what is to come. Don’t get me →
Review: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 definitely feels like a part one, but it is executed nearly perfectly and it sets the stage for The Deathly Hallows to easily be the best of the Potter films when it is all said and done. Picking up more or less right where the last film left off, Harry, Hermione, and Ron →

Harry, having just →
Review: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
HP and OTP is the best film in the series and sets the tables for the thrilling conclusion of the last two films to come. The book and the film both serve as set-ups for the last two plot lines but that doesn't hurt the material as it is both full of information and adventure. David Yates is a first →
Review: Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
Tim Burton and Johnny Depp re-team for their 6th film together, and is my favorite Burton film since Big Fish, and is probably right there with Big Fish for his second best film behind Ed Wood. The film is an adaptation of the Broadway show of the same name and is a full blown musical, so you idiots that won't give →
