Harry Potter

This was great as the last movie in the Potter series. The minstery of magic takes over Hogwarts making it a dictatorship. No magic is allowed. All rules must be obeyed. Fear runs the land.

Harry finds himself leading a secret rebellion of students and getting his first kiss. Love, betrayal and loss plague Harry throughout this movie. And evil isn't far behind. It's hard to describe how cold and serious this movie ended up. It makes you want to read the book to find out what happens in the very end. Does Harry live or die? I still have to get my book to find out.

You'll enjoy seeing Harry struggle through the negative and still come out swinging.

Transformers

I laughed at my friend when he said he wanted to see Transformers when I wanted to see Harry Potter. I ended up seeing Harry Potter and then this show next.

I was surpised as to how cool the transformers were. And this movie was really funny. The movie follows a kid in HS trying to get his first date with a hot girl while finding himself in the middle of a world power struggle between the Decepticons and the Transformers. The chase goes through secret miliatry hide outs and out of this world powers. It's a fun ride. So, see it.

I know who killed me

I saw this movie at 10:30 in the morning so maybe I wasn't in the mood for a thriller but this was just plain stupid. I wish Linds had more sense to take on a good movie role instead of trying to be a sex object and party girl. Her performance in Georgia Rule was much better. Though, I guess she didn't pole dance in that movie. It was just 5 guys in the theatre and me, so I guess the pole dancing bit got some men to see this teen murder mystery.

A murderer is on the loose in a small town and it's not soon before Lindsay's character is captured and limbs start getting cut off. But unlike other stories, Lindsay loses her memory and tries to fit all the pieces together to solve her own murder. She goes wild pole dancing and having sex... would girls who get kidnapped by a crazy person start doing these things or not? Hmmm... what a mystery. Anyway, she discovers the secret of her murder and goes out to capture the crazy person. Does she survive? Guess you'll have to see it to find out. But I wouldn't recommend it at all. It's gross but the killer is easily identifiable at the beginning. So not much of a surprise.

Bourne Ultimatum

How good was this movie? It takes you into the action right away with Borune being chased with gunfire. The other two Bourne movies has Jason trying to get his memory back. In this chapter he does. Flashbacks plague him during the movie and he starts remembering how he got started being Jason Bourne.

This is the kind of movie where I just have to recommend seeing it. It's mostly action so describing the car pile ups and conspiracy phone calls just doesn't do it justice.

If you want an action-packed adventue, this is by far the best I've seen in a long time.
