I actually have not seen a movie in about three weeks....that makes me sad ='[.
BUT I did catch two of those movies I wanted to see.
So here they are:
- Bruno- Why Sacha Baron Cohen WHY?!?! I was so disappointed by this poor movie. Yes, I got the satire and the message but NO LAUGHS!! It was even more disgusting than Borat in certain scenes and I just couldn't look at the screen without throwing up. What it DID do is expose the ridiculous anti-homosexuality that exists in the world but sometimes Bruno just went too far. Plus, it was painfully obvious that a lot of the "unsuspecting victims" were in on the joke and that dampened it's appeal. 3/10
- Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince- Despite everything that's been going around between "purists" (that is, people who believe that movies adapted from novels should stay true to EVERY MINUTE DETAIL) I really liked this movie. I saw it on it's opening night and the cinema was packed which is something that I always like. I even sat in the very front row....THAT is how desperately I wanted to see this movie. Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy) is perhaps the film's most appealing trait. You never really get to see Felton, who's been acting since he was in diapers apparently, let loose his acting chops and steal the screen in the other five movies but in this one, boy does he take Dan Rad and Grint's acting wigs and mop the FLOOR with them. Emma Watson was only slightly better in this movie, at least she didn't hyperventilate half as much. Jim Broadbent as Professor Slughorn was good as usual and Gambon FINALLY NAILED IT as Dumbledore...just as the character has to *beep* (c'mon...you know what happens ;]). Props to Dan Rad's acting whilst Harry is under the influence of "Felix Felicis" that was actually really funny. Also, I didn't know that Dame Maggie Smith was receiving treatment for breast cancer at the same time she was filming this movie and that just goes to show how amazing she really is. Get Well Soon Maggie =]. Bonnie Wright as Ginny Weasley pissed me off. I'm not Ginny's biggest fan but she DID have a bit more fervour in her than this drivel Wright drooled out. The fact that her voice was deeper than Harry's also bothered me. Helena Bonham Carter was fantastic as usual. No appearance of Raph Fiennes as Voldemort in this one but Alan Rickman (Snape) fills the void of evil-son-of-a-bitch enough for this movie. Jessie Cave as Lavender was so over-the-top she was perfect and the always perfect and loveable Evanna Lynch was perfect and loveable as Luna Lovegood. The films biggest flaws were the amount of time spent on the romantic spectre on the novel and the lack of time spent on the battle scene which was extremely anti-climactic and disappointing. However, when Dumbledore *beep* I cried so hard the guy next to me gave me a funyn look. The "purists" need to remember that the movies are not made for them and them only, this was a great movie, one of the best of the series so far. 7.5/10
