My Thoughts:
This movie is a little slow despite its relative short run-length. It had its nice moments. I liked Shah Rukh Khan's cameo appearance. I knew that he was in it, but I totally forgot it while watching the movie and I was surprised at his appearance towards the end of the movie.
The songs were forgettable. Nothing catchy here.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, a review by Dragonfire




Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
In Harry Potter's world, portraits come to life, potions transform, time reverses, Quidditch players soar, dragons attack and magic is everywhere. Now, fascinating new insights, interviews and watch-it-happen footage let you experience the triumphs of technical wizards who conjured up an awe-inspiring alternate reality.



I have issues with this movie, again with the changes made and things cut out for the most part, but I do like it overall.  I was disappointed that David Yates returned to direct this one..not to mention the final two movies.  The Dursleys are gone again..that doesn't bother me too much, but I don't like the way Harry is out in a muggle coffee shop, reading the Daily Prophet in front of muggles and hitting on the waitress.  That just doesn't seem right to me.  It isn't shared that people are disappearing..that could have easily been done by having Hermione make a comment at the table when she was reading the paper..or even by showing the paper again.  I absolutely hate  the attack on the Burrow.  That scene is pointless and a complete waste of time that could have been spent better setting up the final movies.  Harry is not properly prepared for what he has to do.  I didn't really like how things were changed with Dumbledore's story arc either..it was just a few little changes, but I didn't like them.  Snape still doesn't get enough to do, though it is slightly better.  The memories that are included are done well, but not enough are included.  I read that originally all the memories were in the script, but Yates declared that most of them were unnecessary, so they were cut.  He has no appreciation for the source material and it is really irritating.  Yes I am a bit picky where Harry Potter is concerned.  I can't help it.

The movie does look really good on Blu-ray.

The main extra in the Ultimate Edition is focused on the effects for all the magical things.  I haven't taken the time to watch it yet, but it is just a matter of time. :)

I did post about this one here after I first saw the movie in the theater.  I'll share the link to my Epinions review again.

Smallville Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd


SEASON 7: Disc 1

EPISODE 1: BIZARRO
A flood of excitement: Lois, Chloe and Lex are in peril after Reeves Dam breaks. The Phantom Zone escapee who absorbed Clark's DNA must be stopped. But how? MARTINA MANHUNTER has an idea.

My Thoughts:
This was a good episode. I enjoyed it quite a bit. At first I didn't think I would... but I do like how they decided to do Bizzaro.

My Rating:

EPISODE 2: KARA
Blonde. Beautiful. Bad attitude. Kara may have some catching up to do after she stops trying to clobber Clark into the next millennium. After all, they're from the same Kryptonian family.

Also: Lex finds Lana.

My Thoughts:
Another episode I enjoyed a lot. I really liked the way Supergirl (Kara) came out on the series. I also enjoyed the explanation of what happened with Lana.

My Rating:

EPISODE 3: FIERCE


My Thoughts:
Another fun episode. I must say... Kara looked great in that bikini! And I liked the story of the beauty contestant meteor freaks going after the map in the time capsule.

My Rating:

EPISODE 4: CURE
Got a meteor-rock problem? A neurosurgeon claims he can return meteor-infected people to normality. Lana hides a $10-million secret and Chloe and Jimmy face a rift in their togetherness.

My Thoughts:
This is a pretty cool episode. I really enjoyed it. It was cool to see Dean Caine (who played Superman on Lois and Clark) guest star on the show.
