SELECTED POSTS
This page, NEWS & UPDATES which is
actually the index page of this website has
grown into a huge database of my almost
daily ramblings of all stuff I hold dear to
my heart, including gossips of the most
sordid kind. For your convenience, I have
posted a list of posts which I thought is
pretty informative in my own way that you
might find interesting. The list itself may
be long but those selected few are the ones
I thought drives home the point I wanted to
make. Do check them out in
MY POINT IS [Comments & Opinions].
SERIES' SUMMARIES
Sometime in 2004 I began
reviewing selected
series in an episode by
episode way, where I
called these reviews
EPISODIC THOUGHTS.
These thoughts are
mostly summaries of each
and every episode with
my opinion of that
episode included in it
as well. I may not
provide the most in
depth summaries but I am
very proud of the fact
that I could keep the
writing on such a long
winded basis each and
every night for the
entirety of the series.
I don't do this for each
and every series though
because it kills a lot
of brain cells, mine as
well as fellow netizens
who often joined in the
discussion by posting
informative stuff. These
thoughts are still open
for feedback and
discussion. Do check
them all out in
REVIEWS where it is
indicated with an
[E]
next to my name.

section in here that
features offbeat stuff

Reviews of Harry Potter 4
Permanent link ▫ ▫  
This is one good review which I very much agree on almost all points except on the Harry Potter 3 film and Hermione. For me the worst was Harry Potter 3. I watched it again the other day, visually stunning but technically all wrong and the story all butchered. And the director, Alfonso Cuoron had no idea about the English school system. I am still very annoyed with the messy school uniform. In Harry Potter 4, acting is much better, visuals ok but story as butchered. Like the reviewer said I pity the 5th director because he will have to magically conjure up some connections for some plot to connect to movie 4 and 5 when movie 4 revealed nothing and movie 3 screwed it all up. It's not going to be easy. The mistake of movie 4 is making the tournament the central them when it should be the characters as the central theme. I still can't believe Dumbledore would shake Harry as he did (I think the actor said he never read the books, well maybe it's time he should. I kinda miss Richard Harris, although I remember criticising him but after this actor who doesn't even look wise more so caring, wise and powerful, I do feel Richard Harris was the best) and I can't believe so much scenes given to Hermione, and the actress Emma Watson was awful. Worse still, how Ron was butchered again and so many essential plots all gone. And Mad Eye Moody was wrongly cast but everybody seems to think he's great when he's not. In retrospect I am disappointed with movie 4 and one viewing is enough for me. Movie 3 I can't even concentrate when it was shown again. The only reason I was so excited before because I was cheated by the trailers. Believe me Movie 4 is not that bad from acting point of view but story wise, movie 1 is still the best and most accurate. You may say scene per scene but at least the most salient points are there.
As for movie 5 who will play that nasty Delores Umbridge? Judy Dench perhaps? I propose Catherine Zeta Jones for that evil witch, what's her name, that one that I think killed Sirius Black? Can I also propose Zhang Yimou to direct maybe the 6th or 7th film and Ang Lee either 6th or 7th film? Maybe for once they can get the direction right? I am pretty sure Zhang Yimou will give excellent cinematography.

Been hearing bad reviews from friends about the latest Potter movie. Since I've yet to read the book and everyone says the book is better, I'll sit out this time.
Have you read the Chronicles of Narnia? It's now made into a movie. That's an adaption I'll like to watch. Was at a bookstore the other day and got myself the whole Chronicles to read again. Heh. Reliving my childhood.
Really HP 4 isn't THAT bad. I was playing the HP 4 PC game the other day and it reminded me so much of the movie. Like no time to look around, no time to think, just kill kill kill.
Bought it mostly for nostalgic reasons. There used to be a cartoon on this on Malaysian TV channels. heh. Caught parts of it when young.
I will watch HP4 eventually, just maybe not in the cinemas. Maybe get the books first, starting with the philosopher's stone. lol. Yes I'm very late to the potter party. :)
I've decided. I'm not going to go to the cinema to watch HP4 or spend any money buying the VCD or DVD. Maybe if it's shown on TV or someone lend me a copy, I'll watch.
Haha, I know I'm being anal. But I can't bring myself to watch this version, just like I can't bring myself to watch the Disney cartoon 'Hercules'.
