Books Killed The Movie

Releasing a Harry Potter movie one week before the release of the last book in the Harry Potter series turned out to be a mistake. Having earned around 300 million dollars worldwide in the first five days, Order Of The Phoenix came second at the US Box Office, earning "just" 32 million. Most of the potential moviegoers are too busy now reading the new book, or still standing in lines to buy one.
At number one this week - I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry, another magical fairytale from Adam Sandler, about two straight guys who pretend to be gay and getting married. Pure classic! At number three - the musical Hairspray with John Travolta as a woman. Who needs magic after that?

Davis Yates Screwed Up Harry Potter

So I went to see the movie everybody saw over the past week, Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix. It made a lot of money in just a few days and even set some new records in tickets selling. But that's not a big deal. Harry Potter movies will always sell loads of tickets, no matter how bad or good they are. I don't know who the director David Yates is, but whoever let him direct OotP is an idiot. IMDB's page of Half Blood Prince says that it will be also directed by Yates. That really sucks.
The movie was good at building the tension towards the final fight scene, where a major character (who happens to be my favorite) gets killed and many other interesting things happen. The fight scene itself was really bad. It was too short and clumsy. I couldn't understand half of it, ruined the movie for me.

A Cursed Movie

David Lynch is my favorite director. He's a real genius and a very cool and weird dude. I love this guy. His new movie, Inland Empire, was released a few months ago. I've been trying desperately to go see it, but something always got in my way.
Tonight there was supposed to be a screening of the movie at a movie theater I've never been to before. I did my best to finish in time all my tasks for the day, but was still running late. So I took a taxi to the movie theater and went in just a few moments before the movie began. But the movie that started wasn't Inland Empire, it was Akeelah And The Bee. Who wants to see a movie called Akeelah And The Bee instead of a David Lynch movie? Seriously?!
Apparently, there was some mix up with the movies. It took them half an hour to change the reel and start the movie. But that movie wasn't Inland Empire either! In fact, it was Akeelah And The Stupid Bee again! That made them realize they didn't have Inland Empire available and they gave us the money back.
A real bummer... Since when things like that happen?

Transformers Sucked

When Steven Spielberg first met Michael Bay to talk about the Transformers movie, he probably told him something like that:
"Son, use your mind and imagination, not just the money I give you. I know you can do better..."
and Michael Bay probably replied:
"Yes, Master."
and then he went and made this awful movie.
When will this guy learn?! Transformers looked exactly like any other of his movies. In one of the scenes, when the Transformers crash on earth and cause a minor panic on the streets, some kid yells: "This is easily a hundred times cooler than Armageddon... I swear to God!". WRONG!!! This is exactly as uncool as Armageddon.
The only good thing in the movie is Shia LaBeouf. This kid has got a great potential, can't wait to see him in Indiana Jones 4. His wing lady, Megan Fox, is the complete opposite. Who IS this chick anyway? Even though very hot, she has two face expressions at the very most. As usual for Bay's movie, a bunch of famous actors also star. Most of them, including the veterans Jon Voight and John Turturo, just make fun of themselves. And guess who's in it as the world's biggest hacker - it's Anthony Anderson. Really?!? This guy seems as stupid as a beer can, I'd be shocked if he could even turn a computer on. Go watch Die Hard 4 - the biggest hacker there is Kevin Smith. Now, THAT was really cool!
The Transformers themselves seem to be invisible. They just walk around the streets and nobody notices them! And nobody can hear them either. They walk around a quiet neighborhood, destroy houses and power lines, talk loud, shoot, turn into big noisy vehicles... but still go unnoticed. I wish this movie was as invisible as they are.
