UGH!!!!!!!!


I won't give anything away for anyone regarding this but, the newest Harry Potter movie was quite disappointing from my point of view. They added a very big scene that wasn't anywhere in the book and made no sense in the movie's context and missed so many crucial elements that 5 minutes of dialog (throughout the movie) would've fixed. So I'm giving this a big two thumbs down! If you haven't read the book then you'll probably enjoy it and I immensely enjoyed the first half or so of the movie but the second half ruined it for me. I was planning on seeing this at least one more time in theaters but now I'm not sure I even want to rent it when it comes out on DVD.

One very good week





















Well well well, not so much grumblings as this is going to be a super awesome week. First, I started going back to college online. I'm in two classes which I should do pretty well in. Second, we won both of our games on Monday night and I played pretty well. Third today (Tuesday) I have upgraded to HD from DirecTv and tonight I'm going to see Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince at the midnight opening show, which is the first midnight showing I've seen since Star Wars Episode III. I have high hopes for HPatHBP, I've only seen the first two previews for the movie and much to the wife's annoyance avoided seeing any other preview. Lastly, I'm on a staycation (vacation @home) from Tuesday to Monday during which time I will most likely see Harry Potter again. Oh and I'm going to force GameFly to send me NCAA football 2010, everytime I get a game from them, it is never the number one game I have in my queue, so now I'm only going to keep one game in my queue at a time...SUCK IT GAMEFLY!


Movie/TV shows

Recently I saw Bruno...DO NOT SEE IT. It had funny parts but overall was disturbing more than funny

Public Enemies - As with most Michael Mann directed movies I thought it was good but it just felt like there was something missing almost the entire movie. I can't really place what was missing, just felt like the film wasn't complete.

Merlin - A tv show about the famous Wizard as he grew to be famous...The first few episodes were BAD and the monsters they have are still Sci-Fi channel movie-esque but the series is getting better and better each week. Hopefully we can bring this BBC show to America full time, put some cash in it to give it better monsters, props and more realistic stages.

Well that's all for now, tune in for more grumbles.
