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.

From Hell

Who's in it: Johnny Depp, Heather Graham, Ian Holm, Robbie Coltrane

What's it about: Jack the Ripper is on the loose and brutaly murdering the whores of Whitecastle. Inspector Abberline(Depp) and Sergeant Godley(Coltrane) are on the case and on their way to find Jack. When Mary Kelly(Graham) and Abberline begin to fall in love, it's a race against time to save her in every way he can. With the help of Sir William Gull(Holm) the case is beginning to slowly close.

What I Think: Amazing performance by every single actor and actress in this movie. The costumes were perfect as was the set. I felt as if I were truly in 19th century England. Coltrane has proven to be able to do such a serious work as well as the lovable Hagrid from Harry Potter. Depp is outstanding as always.
