HARRY POTTER.....THE END IS HERE

"Albus Severus..you were named for the two headmasters of Hogwarts. One of them was a Slytherin and he was probably the bravest man I ever knew."

So I've seen THE END... and it's bloody brilliant!

The movie pick up where Part 1 left off, I wont get down to details to avoid spoilers for those who haven't read the books. I watched it on 3D but whether you watch it on 2D or 3D it won't make the film any lesser or much more. I just like that movie experience for this last film where you can see them from head to toe, every ripple of muscle of the dragon (I have to say, the dragon is spectacular), every part of Hogwarts, you get the idea... yes?

This film has capture the ending to this great series more than what I imagined, of course all the details can not be translated to the movie but the main story was spot on and some deviation is very well done. This movie make me cry, not just those I expected to cry (specially near the end) but also moments throughout the film that its just so heartwarming it will make you cry (like when the dragon struggle for freedom..sigh)

Harry (Daniel Radcliffe), Ron (Rupert Grint) and Hermoine (Emma Watson), the friendship of the actor and the characters is visible it the movie. It's like really genuine, you can feel it. The acting and shade of the characters has matured, has grown relatively with the series. Seeing them on flashback while they were so little and cute is like seeing your child grown before your eyes. They really own the characters, breath life to them. You have to admit that at the beginning these three is the reason we follow the story both book and movie, so its sad to not see them again. Well, you could always look at their cute little faces on DVD and read the books ( if you haven't memorize them already).

Snape... oh snape, Alan Rickman could won a Best Actor for the character, it was heartbreaking. Snape's background was brilliant though it was just a few minutes, you can feel the emotion right to the bone. I think Snape is one of the very important part of Harry's destiny.

I have to emphasize the “Neville Moment”(you just have to see what it is), because in the last book Neville really stood up. So the Neville moment, it slightly deviate from the books but the result was amazing, it literally earn an applause in the cinema (which really deserves an applause, it was climatic).

Not just the main characters that are worth mentioning but also the supporting characters..well all the characters because they are part of the Harry Potter. Helena Carter (Belatrix) is a brilliant actress, love her at Gringotts. Molly Weasley is one badass mother (“not my daughter, you bitch! Haha). And Professor McGonagall, you rock! (thumbs up..). I love the scene at Hogsmeade with Aberforth Dumbledore, I got teary at the display of trust for Albus Dumbledore.

This movie has so much awesomeness. This is the final battle, so much fighting, so much people but well coordinated. There is not one moment where you don't know what's happening because of so much going on – it was brilliantly choreographed, directed and the effects is just amazing.

IMHO, they say its a children's movie/book – NO its not. It is a story for all, friendship, love, loyalty, trust and courage. The story of humanity here is very raw and realistic just added little...or more magic. I may be biased but that's just me... what do you think?

THUMBS UP to all who made Harry Potter and to J.K. Rowling, who started it all.

ITS A GREAT EXPERIENCE.

APPLAUSE!!!!!!! ( we really applauded at the theater)

I'm attaching a photo i've taken from the cinema... (i dont know what happen but it came out like this).

TRANFORMERS: DARK SIDE OF THE MOON

We've watch the first 2 movies so it's a done deal that we watch the 3rd although i've read a few negative reviews. Anyway Lovey is a fan of the cartoon (original) and DC and Marvel for that matter. So we bought the ticket ahead of time to avoid long lines and get the nice seat. We tried the 3D in trinoma.

As for the cinema, we'll im a little bit upset about the 3D. It's suppose to come out off the screen but instead its like 3D inside the screen not like when we watched "Avatar" in IMAX north EDSA. So if you want that ultimate movie experience go to IMAX. But sometimes it also depends on the movie, if you'll watch on IMAX, do the research on the movie... it should be shot in 3D not converted to 3D.

Back to the movie...

I like Shia Labeouf (Sam) and John Turturro(Simmons), the chemistry is there. As for the new girl Rosie Whiteley(Carly), she's hot (imho...Megan Fox is hotter), but if her acting is just like Megan... i'd prefer Megan Fox. Anyway, the story behind the replacement of Megan is a little lame. Mikaela dump Sam....... really!!? The first 2 movies, they basically save the world together then dump him on the third?... they should have been more creative.

The effects is awesome really.... the story is..duh. The plotline is the same with Revenge of the Fallen, more action, new girl, additional villian/ally. Lovey complains that they should have focus on the characters and story of the TRANSFORMERS (co'z really it is titled Transformers), but they focus on a few names only.

IMHO, the first is still the best. Yes, the effects on the 1st is limited but the story is there. When Michael Bay was given a huge budget, he give us the action and the effects but leave the story behind. Just the same the trip to the cinema is still worth it...
