If you hadn’t heard what the hub-bub was, check this link: Half-Blood Prince delayed until July 17th, 2009 Anyway, there’s been a lot of unhappiness about this in the Potter fan world, and I have clearly made myself known as a Potter fan with opinions so why don’t I share mine? As far as a…

2007: The Year on Screen
Pardon the grandiose title of this post, but as the year comes to a close, I like to take a look back at high points (and maybe a few lows) at the movies and on TV. The Silver Screen This year was a pretty average year for me at the movies. I watched about 30…
Couldn’t those Hallows have been a bit more Deathly?

Summer’s coming to a close. Blockbuster season (such as it was) is over. As we gear up for the battle of the Oscar contenders, there are still plenty of awesome offerings that aren’t necessarily all about going for the statuette. Here are my most anticipated films for the rest of the year. By the way,…

SPOILER WARNING: IF YOU HAVEN’T READ THE BOOK, STOP READING THIS BLOG. I wanted to start out my blogging experience with this book because I’m a huge Potter fan and it seemed like a good occasion to begin. I knew I would have lots of thoughts about the book after reading it, and questions that…
