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 →
Review: The King’s Speech
The King’s Speech is a fantastic retelling of King George VI over coming his speech impediment and his rise to the throne that is funny, sharp, and interesting every step of the way. Prince Albert was always a well respected leader and Duke in England and among the family but the rise of the wireless during his time forced him into →
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 →
Now Playing Review – Alice in Wonderland
The 1951 animated version of Alice’s story is far from the top of my list of favorite Disney films from my childhood, but that does not keep me from being overly disappointed in the additional trip down the rabbit hole in this year’s Alice in Wonderland. 13 years following young Alice’s nightmare riddled nights of a mysterious world with crazy talking →
Review: Alice in Wonderland – 2010
Tim Burton’s latest collaboration with Johnny Depp is a gigantic, uninspired, and boring mess of an adaptation of the Alice in Wonderland mythology. The story is a sequel to Disney’s previous animated version of Alice in Wonderland and picks up some years later with Alice, now nineteen, about to be married off to the son of an old family friend that →
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 →
