Harry Potter & The Half Blood Prince


Lucnh at Yip's Kitchen and then movie watching with Trix and Damian.

2 Hours 33 Minutes - way too long. I find it very draggy. The tempo was very slow. The duel was very lame. This movie is only the opening act for the final act. The kids are all grown up. Emma Watson is so so pretty. She's like, gorgeous; gorgeous maximus. Definitely, Hollywood's next darling startlet.
Somehow I feel that there is no longer any depth and substance in their characters anymore. Surprisingly, the unknown actors who played the young Tom Riddle outshone each one of them. They were brilliant. And for the rest of them: one word: Tragic.

Nonetheless, it was a brilliant way to spend the afternoon :)

actually i know they left a lot of the book out. it was quite disappointing in that way, because i'm a huge fan of rowling's books. but then again - the movie got the gist of everything. if they could have more time to explain all the pieces, it would be less boring.

btw - i saw bruno. is it even allowed in malaysia? it's actually *very* graphic. i didn't know what to say. if you can download some of it online, then i totally suggest you should. it's not a commercial film - and you can totally tell baron cohen is just trying to antagonise people.
