Hi and welcome to my blog! If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting and do come back.

I have been to the movies twice this week. I enjoy the movies, the experience, popcorn, smarties, slush puppie. Gotta love it.

Tuesday: Fantastic Four

They should really have named this movie Fantastic Flop or Fantasticly-Long-Movie-With-Lots-Of-Prolonged-Moments-Staring-In-To-Eyes. Seriously. I was extremely disapointed with this piece of comic-turned movie cinema sequel. Too many love scenes, too much focus on Alba and doctor McGeekPants getting married and not enough focus on the story line of THE WORLD ENDING. Terrible. There was even a dancing scene in the movie. Do me a favour.

To swiftly move on, Friday: Harry Potter and the blah blah blah

This movie was incredible good. I loved every second of it and I attribute this to the fact that I haven’t read the books. By not reading the books I was able to go in to the film with no expectations. The plot was dark, the characters have evolved and the film is definitely not for kids. I am so impressed (having seen all of the films) with the writing and the developing story line. The characters have grown with their audience and epitomise the turmoil that a teenager in the real world would be facing.

I wont give away anything about the plot or who dies… if anyone dies! All I will say is, he is back and meaner than before. Lookout. Do yourself a favour and see this film.

So, that’s that for the weekend I think. Enjoy.
