Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

Who's in it: Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, Alan Rickman, Robbie Coltrane, Richard Bremmer

What's it about: Harry Potter(Radcliffe) has been famous since the beginning of his life. Voldemort(Bremmer) killed his parents, yet he survived the 'Killing Curse'When half-giant keeper of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Hagrid(Coltrane), comes on his 11th birthday, he discovers he's a wizard. Harry and Hagrid go to get his school supplies. At the bank, Hagrid gets out a mysterious bag. On the train to Hogwarts he meets Ron Weasley(Grint) and Hermoine Granger(Watson). They immediatley start unraveling the mystery of the Sorcerer's Stone which prolongs life. Voldemort is trying to come back and finish off Harry. Professor Snape(Rickman) is looking quite suspicious

What I Think: Book was great. J.K. Rowling is one of my favourites. Rickman does a great job. He really had the right stuff to play the evil Professor Snape. The beginning careers for three young people. Radcliffe was great. Cute little accent. Grint is adorable. He just puffs up those cheeks when he smiles and you just want to hug him. Watson has the most uncontrollable hair but acts well. Alot of detail was left out from the book and that is what made the movie not so great. Book was definetely better than the movie this time.

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Hatchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Who's in it: Martin Freeman, Mos Def, Zooey Deschanel, Sam Rockwell, Alan Rickman

What's it about: When Arthur's(Freeman) best friend, Ford(Def), tells him that the end of the world is in 10 minutes, he doesn't believe him. Madly in love with Trisha(Deschanel), he doesn't want to leave Earth. But Ford hitches them the ride of a lifetime. After they're kicked off one spaceship, they get saved by another one. Trisha and the man who stole her away, the President of the Universe Zaphod(Rockwell), and their depressed robot helper, Marvin(Rickman). They're on their way to find the answer to the Ultimate Question.

What I Think: Martin is a great actor and I like movies that have him in it. I loved how Rickman did Marvin's voice. I love his voice and every movie that he is in. The plot was a little boring. I enjoyed the graphics and comstume decorations for Zaphod and the other aliens. It was a very creative movie with alot of comedy that made me laugh. Britian does it again with their great British humour

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street


Who's in it: Johnny Depp, Helen Bonham Carter, Alan Rickman, Timothy Spall

What's it about: Benjamin Barker(Depp) was a barber in London. He was shipped off for a crime he didn't commit so that Judge Turpin(Rickman) could take his family from him. Now he's back as Sweeney Todd and he wants his revenge. When Beadle(Spall) announces Todd as the best barber in London, Todd opens a parlor above Ms. Lovett's(Carter) Meat Pie Shop. Ms. Lovett brings up the idea to use Todd's customers as meat for her pies and Todd is on his way to revenge against Judge Turpin.

What I Think: Depp was great but I think that he is forever Captain Jack Sparrow. I've seen Rickman in many different roles but he's still an outstanding actor. Carter had an amazing voice and kept me enthralled. The songs were very catchy and I loved the lyrics. This was quite the grusome comedy.

Love Actually

Love Actually

Who's In It: Hugh Grant, Liam Neeson, Colin Firth, Laura Linney, Emma Thompson, Alan Rickman, Keira Knightley, Rowan Atkinson

What's It About: A mix of many different love stories showing us just how small the world is. The Prime Minister(Grant) has fallen in love with his maid. Daniel(Neeson) just lost his wife. A boss man(Rickman) is cheating on his wife. Juliet(Knightley) has her newly wed husband's best friend in love with her. Jamie(Firth) has just found out his brother has been with his wife. Everyone is having the life filled with love, good or bad.

What I Think: This all-British crew leaves you wanting more. The love stories are heartfelt and the not-so-love-stories are heart breaking. Keira is absolutely beautiful, as always, and Hugh still has the sexiest voice in the world. The movie makes me laugh, cry, hope, dream, and want to seriously smack Alan in the balls.
