Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 -- 10/10 Stars

I recently saw the final installment of Harry Potter 7-2.
I was expecting the same crap the last couple movies (at least 5 and 6) had been. I honestly dont remember much of 7 as I have only seen it once. Same for 6 but I REMEMBER that one was a load of crap.

However I came out of the movie pleasantly surprised. And happy. And sad. And filled with emotion. I nearly wept at the end of the movie knowing it was over for good. The series I grew up on that has been there for the past decade or so... gone. I didn't feel that way about Star Wars because that originated in the 70s.

Harry Potter... although I had made fun of it, I truly respect JK Rowling and all the work she did to bring a wonderful idea to life, and I thank the directors who made Goblet of Fire and Death Hallows so amazing.
It's a weird feeling something so close to ones heart end, and I began to imagine how it will be when one day Dark Dayz is made into a movie. I picture myself sitting in a screening of it and crying from joy. I probably will.
One day it will be made into a movie... and an official published novel.


It is so incredibly difficult to try and get it published on my own. No wonder JK Rowling was so down in the dumps when she wrote HP.


Wish me the best of luck, and Hopefully Dawn Trilogy will be coming to a theater near you in the next few years. All it takes is the right person reading it and liking it for that to happen.
Come on Tim Burton... LOL that would be amazing if he directed it.

Green Lantern 7/10 stars

So it has been a while since I have posted a review. I should do reviews on more than just movies.
I just finished reading the Hobbit and it was pretty cool. And I'm reading the Hunger Games now which is also really awesome.

Anyway Green Lantern. When I first saw the trailer... it looked terrible. I went in expecting the worst. But what do you know? I came out liking it for the most part. I am not a huge comic buff although I am getting into them now. I have bought one green lantern graphic novel and I will buy more soon to learn even more about Green Lantern. Most of what I have bought have been Marvel's Fear itself comics.

Overall Green Lantern was a good movie. It did have things that were corny or VFX that weren't the most amazing, but the story wasn't half bad. It was weird seeing Sanestro... given the history of such, but I understand it was an origin movie so the sequel will be much better. And yes at least stay for the first part of the credits.
Well you should ALWAYS stay till the end of the credits out of respect.
The story was not amazing. The VFX were pretty cool most of the movie. But I love the idea of a Super Hero whose power comes from pure will (well yeah the ring and lantern...) but willpower and the overcoming of fear. I could totally see myself being a Green Lantern...
