Strange Days at Blake Holsey High (2002)
Best Show!
Black Hole High(as it is known in the UK)is an excellent show. Dealing with the journey of adolescence at boarding school is hard enough without having a black hole in the middle of school. Edgy red-head Josie Trent and Science club friends Corrine, Lucas, Marshall and Vaughn along with professor Z try to discover the mysteries lurking beneath the walls and why strange events take place so often at Blake Holsey. Romance blossoms between Corrine and Marshall and Josie and Vaughn. But Josie is unsure whether to trust Vaughn as his father is Victor Pearson, the creator of Paradyne Labs. What is Josie and Vaughn's destiny? What will happen next to Corrine, Marshall and Lucas? How long can the science club keep their secret? Everything happens for a reason!
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005)
Wow!
I was blown out of my seat with this one. So many emotions were mixed into this film to make an excellent 4th HP movie. All the disappointments I had with the third movie were cancelled out with this one. Where to start! Daniel Radcliffe (Harry) has grown up so much since the 1st movie, and so has his acting. He is able to bring out his emotions on screen, especially at the end where sorrow is at it's highest. Rupert Grint (Ron) does his usual excellent comedy role and absolutely nails the jealous side of Ron as friction creates between him and Harry. Emma Watson (Hermione) does a great job, acting mainly as Harry's support in difficult times. Romance appears to be in the air with Harry falling for Cho Chang, Ron drooling over Fleur Delacour, and Hermione and Viktor Krum enjoying each others company. New characters include 'Mad-Eye' Moody,new DADA teacher, which is portrayed perfectly by Brendan Gleeson, Rita Skeeter,a reporter, who is reduced to causing a stir rather than complete havoc like that of the book, Igor Karknoff, head of Durmstrang, who seems to have a hidden agenda and Madam Maxime, head of Beauxbatons, who also is falling in love. Snape and Sirius appear briefly in the film. But it's not all fun and games for Harry and friends as the Tri- wizard tournament begins to be used as a killing attempt and Harry falls into grave danger.Who to trust when evil returns is a mystery. Very scary footage causes this film to have a higher rating of PG13(USA) PG12(UK)Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is a must see!
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004)
Worst HP Movie!
All the trailers portray this movie as a great installment to the HP series. Do not be fooled. Personally, I had high expectations of this film as Harry Potter and the POA is one of the best books out of the six. I was disappointed and felt like the movie was rushed. Main events were missed out such as Sirius Black coming into Hogwarts, Quidditch matches and Hermione's worries over the firebolt, which was meant to be introduced in the middle of the plot. Events were not explain thoroughly enough and I think many viewers who have not read the book may have started to get confused. Also an important factor in the movie was the bond between Harry, Ron and Hermione. Sometimes while watching the film, I felt like they were not best friends but merely classmates. Arguments appear between Ron and Hermione, which is perfectly normal, but there is just no love between the trio. Praises go to Emma Thompson, Gary Oldman and David Thewlis for playing their roles excellently! The movie is not terrible, as the special effects are good and the acting is OK, but I just didn't feel the special magic of the movie.
