As some of you many have noticed recently from my signature, I watched my Harry Potter movies again. I still love the movies when I watch them even though I do have some issues with things in later movies.
This one is a very good adaptation, and it takes the time to properly set things up. I know that some people thought the movie was too long and didn't cut out enough, but I don't agree with that at all. I love discovering the magical world along with Harry. The cast is great and they all fit their characters so well. Yes the child actors weren't the strongest at times, but they get better in later movies. Some of the effects late in the movie don't look as good but that doesn't detract from my enjoyment. There is a sense of wonder in the movie - and the next few - that is missing from the last few movies.
I did post a review after I saw the movie in the theater.

My Thoughts:
Scary Movie is from a time, when such parody movies weren't overfilling the market. As a matter of fact the success of this movie started it, I think. But unlike the parody movies which were following, Scary Movie was fun. It has some good movie parodies (instead of being filled with unfunny pop culture references) and also good acting.Rating:

My PILOT Marathon, a review by Rich
The Riches
Pilot
Through a set of unusual circumstances, the Malloy family assumes the identities of a wealthy family, the Riches, only to find that a glamorous life entails more than they expected.
The Riches stars Eddie Izzard and Minnie Driver as Wayne and Dahlia Malloy, a married couple with a family. Wayne and Dahlia spent their youth pulling cons with a traveling band of modern Irish gypsies roaming about the US. Now years later, Wayne hits a spiritual and midlife crisis and begins to question their lifestyle just as his wife, newly sprung from prison, rejoins the family. They decide to finally settle down in suburbia where they battle to live a normal life while trying to escape their former friends.
Eddie Izzard playing serious roles works for me, but hell his accent was not quite right!
Interesting and original, a series bought blindly but one that promises plenty from an entertaining pilot episode. I can think of several ways this storyline could go, so am keen to watch more already.
Minnie Driver was superb and convincing, and seemed to grow into the role in less than an hour, as good as I have ever seen her acting. The supporting cast all add something to the overall success of this first episode, and the whole feel was positive.
I look forward to diving in to further episodes.
