A Farewell To The Boy Who Lived.

Hello and welcome back! In the past 48 hours I had the pleasure of going to the movies 3 different times (and yes, I still manage to have a life). Here's my spin on what's out now...

Horrible Bosses: Jason Sudeikis may have not been a great host of the MTV Movie Awards but along with Charlie Day and Jason Bateman in 'Horrible Bosses' he really redeemed himself. Making a movie about three guys who are all planning on killing their bosses doesn't sound complicated at all. This film takes turn no one expects and even has a few surprisingly suspenseful scenes. Kevin Spacey is a real piece of work as makes Bateman's life hell, Jennifer Aniston doesn't know the meaning of keeping work and pleasure separate, and Colin Ferrell may be the worst of them all with his ego bigger thank his salary. This movie is a solid comedy filled with hilarious one liners. Grade: B


Harry Potter and The Deathly Hollows Part 2: I have no idea where to even begin. David Yates really nails it again in the final chapter of the Harry Potter phenomenon the world has come to know and love. All the regular cast returns to bid farewell with an outstanding job in this performance. Picking up right where Part 1 leaves off, the movie never has a dull moment and ties every single detail together. Being nearly three hours you will want it to go three more hours with all of the magical elements of this film. I was at a loss for words when the screen faded and the credits began, this truly is a masterpiece and perfect ending. Grade: A+


Transformers 3 Dark of the Moon: Alright, I finally saw it and it was just as good as everyone has been telling you! If you imagine the most action packed movie you've ever seen, kick it up 2 notches and you have this film. Michael Bay stuns us once again with incredible special effects and fight scenes between the Autobots and Decepticons. Taking it back to the early 60s with President Kennedy vowing to put a man on the moon before 1970, this movie takes us to the Apollo 11 moon landing with historical footage and added features. After coming across the alien robot spacecraft on the dark side of the moon, it's a roller coaster ride from there. I hate roller coasters. But I'll ride this any time of the day. Shia Lebeouf returns as Sam Witwicky and puts on a great show with his new, beautiful costar, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. From start to finish you will be on the edge of your seat. Grade: A


Well, looks like it was a successful week at the movies! Get on out there and help the box office sales soar!

  1. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: SO GLAD you rated this the way you did. Albeit not an A+ in my book... (only because I'm so judgmental when it comes to Harry Potter because little details in the book that I loved were not carried out onscreen) but that's an issue I've started to overcome. Seriously, so glad they chose David Yates to carry on after the 5th until the end. It helped to tie all the final movies together.
