Beever's Harry Potter and the half blood prince Review from a fans point of view.Spoiler

By

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince has lived up to the high standards now expected for the Harry Potter franchise. Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson have really done well in the roles of Harry, Ron, and Hermione. Part of what makes this franchise successful is that these actors as well as the other actors in the franchise have stuck with the roles (with the obvious exception of the late Richard Harris who died after portraying Albus Dumbledore in the first two movies) and the fact that they will remain in the roles through the next two movies. Yes, I know that there is only one more book but they are going to split it into two movies. I know some people think that this is just to make more money from the franchise since it is nearing the end but I like believe it is so they can include as much of the storyline as possible.

I think I may have enjoyed this movie more than the others since this is the first time I have not re-read the whole book right before seeing the movie (I started to but only got to page 232). Since it has been a few years since my last reading I wasn't able to point out too many scenes that were added to the movie which were not in the book. There are a few though and that would be my only complaint with the movie. I can understand taking out scenes obviously since you can not fit 652 pages into a 2 1/2 hour movie but I don't like when scenes are added to a movie that were not in the book.

Without giving too much away the movie follows Harry Potter and company through another year at Hogwarts. This year finds the group growing up a bit with romance in the air for Ron & Hermione and Harry & Ginny. We also see the growing up of Draco Malfoy in a different manner as he enters into service for Lord Voldemort. There is a new teacher at Hogwort yet again although it surprising to find out that this teacher is not there to fill the vacant Defense Against the Dark Arts teaching spot. Guess who finally gets to teach it? As usual Harry is suspicious of Snape and Draco. Ron & Hermione think that he is over reacting. Harry is vindicated in the end when both Snape & Draco live up to their bad reputations. Harry & Dumbledore fight to rid the world of Lord Voldemort.

Overall it was an excellent movie and I give it 4 1/2 SANDWICH'S out of 5.

What? Spoiler! Damn, now I know how this ends.

It was the worst book in the series but one of the best films.

Sex Tape Review: Overly Sexual, Rude, Vulgar, and Absolutely Hilarious

By Matt Cummings
The raunchy Sex Tape will divide audiences and critics, but who cares? Sex Tape suggests a growing practice among loving partners: that of making a raunchy testament of their escapades for posterity. But what happens when that evidence gets seen by friends, neighbors, and even the mailman? This is the plot that pits Jay (Jason Segel) and Annie (Cameron Diaz) in an effort to secure every iPad gift Jay has given, his record company playlists being the envy of the recipients, but which has also inadvertently spread the video to every device. The reason for the act - termed in the movie as pulling "the full Lincoln " for its three-hour length - stems from the couple's non-existent social life, brought on by the constant demands of their children. The couple has a lot to lose: a burgeoning business relationship between Annie and Hank (Rob Lowe) could end if the iPad she's given to Hank exposes the video, and so the couple sets out to reclaim and wipe the incrim...

Winona Ryder- An "Alienation" Expert?

By
Winona Ryder- An "Alienation" Expert? We're halfway checked out for the holiday weekend, so let's end with bit of comedy. A litigious videogame player is calling Winona Ryder to testify as an expert in "alienation." Erik Estavillo has filed a $1 million lawsuit in California Superior Court against Activision Blizzard, publisher of "World of Warcraft," saying it "maintain(s) a harmful virtual environment to many of its customers by forcing them to follow the game's sneaky and deceitful practices." The plaintiff says he suffers from several mental health problems brought on by WoW's "alienating" features, such as forcing beginners to walk or run to get from one point to another instead of speedier options available to those who master the game or buy an expansion pack. Estavillo says that the slow pace is "deceitful" because more time = more subscription revenue for Activision. Here's where Winona Ryder comes...
