directed by: David Yates

Although I am not the greatest Harry Potter fan in the world I have always enjoyed the film series and thankfully this film continues this trend. The Order of the Phoenix sees the dark lord Voldemort gathering his forces but with the Ministry of Magic refusing to acknowledge his return Harry and his friends must defy the Ministry in order to prepare for the coming war. Complicating matters is Ms Umbridge, the Ministry appointed Defence from the Dark Arts teacher, who is willing to do anything for ... Read More:

I have seen this film on Sky box office HD today And omg its brilliant and it was worth it for £3.99. Colin Farrell just keeps getting better as the film goes on. but what i find upsetting in this movie is a lot of homophobic swearing. as i am a gay male (21) i find this really offensive. but overall this movie was great and Colin Farrell is so hot and a sexy hunk. I am going to buy this on dvd soon as i want to watch it again in a few weeks. if you have not seen this movie then i sugest you buy this ... Read More:

I'd been wanting to see this film for ages but never got around to it, i bought it about a week and a half ago, looking at the reverse i was schoked at the fact that it was 3 hours long! I have a really short attention span, and it was also in black and white, which i thought would put me off. Usually i watch films and work through them or talk to friends nose around on teh computer etc but after watching about half an hour of this film i couldn't tear myself away, i completely neglected my laptop for the next two ...

Harry Potter Years 1-5 Box Set [2001]

starring: Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, Ralph Fiennes

All of the movies released so far are excellent. I see that other reviewers have covered the story line very well, so I will not. Just let me say that all are very well done, with minor imperfections. The main problems are only two. The first problem is that the books are so massive that pieces have to be left out, this is a shame but I do think that to make a 4 hour movie of these books would make them very tiring to sit through. I had thought of maybe making a part 1 and then 2 but this would not help. This boxed set ... Read More:

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix [HD DVD] [2007]

starring: Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, Ralph Fiennes

November 12, 2007
Book 5 of the Potter series is rather gloomy. Harry is feeling alienated, nightmarish and insecure, and Voldemort is rising in power. However, what worked extremely well for the book, works a bit against the film. A film is a different means of communication from a book and to strive to follow the book too closely is to do an injustice to both.

In this case the gloom drips off the screen and almost takes over everything else. Aside from the end there is little suspense, the much needed comic relief is scarce and ... Read More:

Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (2 Disc Special Edition) [2005]

directed by: Steve Box, Nick Park

We bought this in 2005, but watched it extremely rarely, until just under a month ago, we started watching it again. It's a typical movie but not the best. It's worth a watch. But if you want to laugh your socks off while watching a movie get Cheaper by the Dozen or Over the Hedge.

Thanks for reading this review.

Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire (2 Disc Edition) [2005]

starring: Daniel Radcliffe, Maggie Smith, Timothy Spall, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson
directed by: Mike Newell

I love the Harry Potter books and enjoy all the films. The only problem is that as the books are getting longer more & more is getting cut out when they're made into films. I'd rather have this film longer & have all the story in. Still fantastic though!

Upto now I have quietly enjoyed the first 3 movies although they were nothing special. In previous reviews I gave all of them 3/5 and to be honest up until the final 20 minutes I was about to award the same for 'the Goblet of Fire'. The finale' certainly makes this film and we see Lord Voldermort at his evil best. Actually, it is a darker more absorbing film than the others and carries on in a similar vien to 'The Prisoner of Askaban'. The downside to this film is that it does drag on for a bit but that doesnt really bother you until you watch ... Read More:

The English Patient (Special Edition) [1996]

starring: Ralph Fiennes, Julian Wadham, Juliette Binoche, Willem Dafoe, Kristin Scott Thomas
directed by: Anthony Minghella

It is an interesting film, but not more than that. What does it shows? That the English were particularly sectarian during WW2 on the African front. Nothing new under the sun. Anyone who had a slightly different name or a slightly surprising or uncommon attitude was at once considered as a spy unworthy of any trust. This created myriads or even legions of misunderstandings and human errors along with cruelty, barbaric acts, violence, etc. The only interest of this film is the technical brilliance in the use of flashbacks that only happen in the head of this ...

Do me a favour, I cannot believe that this film has such high aclaim. It fails to draw you in and get in touch with any of the characters. I have already wasted 2 hours of my life watching this drivel so I dont want to waste any more time even talking about it. This should have been a straight to video film.
