Hi everyone! ~waves excitedly~
Once again, I apologize for the time between posts... hopefully buffyrules01, randomfandom89, and I will be able to get together and decide what the schedule for the blog will be, but until then... I do have some reviews to give.
The first review is of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 1 - or as I call it Harry Potter #7.1. I know that Harry Potter isn't vampire-ish, but it does have vampires in it (at least mentioned in the books). Anyways, my review of Harry Potter #7.1 is better than what I thought of Harry Potter #6 - I did not like that movie because I felt it didn't stay close to the books. Harry Potter #7.1 was good and I'm very glad that they are making it into two movies because there is NO WAY you can accurately put that much information in Harry Potter #7 (the book) into one movie. NO WAY! The acting was great and the movie stayed close enough to the story that I wasn't too upset with it (like I was in Harry Potter #6). I must also say that the three main characters/actors (and actress) are hilariously funny when they are together. The movie had several laughs, a few scary parts, and at least one sad part - if not a couple more.
*Funny story... (possibility of a SPOILER) the first time I saw Harry Potter #7.1 (I've seen it twice) was with one of my nieces and two of eight nephews. Just before the part where Harry and Hermione get attacked by the snake in Godrick's Hallow I had my 8-yr old nephew come sit on my lap so that I could cover his eyes during the snake part. After that part he stayed on my lap for the rest of the movie. The funny part about this is, when Harry Potter started to strip to his underwear to go save the sword of Gryffindor from a pond, my nephew covered my eyes. It was funny (to me at least).
My next review is of the Twilight Saga: Eclipse DVD. I ended up dragging my oldest brother to Wal*Mart at midnight to get it and, as an 'I'm sorry that I won't be home for Christmas' gift, he bought it for me. I still have to watch the movie with another commentary, but I found the commentary with Kristen Stewart (Bella) and Robert Pattinson (Edward) hilariously funny and I enjoy the fact that neither of them like to fill the movie with "initial" mindless chatter (they did start talking about something from the movie which led to other discussions, but it was okay because those discussions were so off the wall that they made me laugh). Also, the documentary of how the movie was made was pretty cool and filled with funny parts... like seeing Taylor Lautner in a spandex suit/sweatpants for a wolf part.
That's basically it. Oh! For the Harry Potter series, I'm Team Ron and Team Dobby (both of them are funny and cool). Twilight saga, I'm Team Switzerland in arguments (it annoys people) and Team Edward (generally).
