Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince

I am not at all happy with this movie...Heather brought it my attention that they left out all of the stuff that made the book good. If you have read the book, you will remember that half the book is focusing on building up of the Order of the Phoenix so they will be ready to overthrow the Dark Lord. The Order battle the death eaters throughout the book and they failed to even include that in the movie...they only show a small scene and only two members of the Order. This movie felt as if it's only purpose is to get us to the next movie...the book was much more enjoyable.
The movie focuses on the romantic relationships that build in the sixth book and the death of a very important character. That's it! They fail to really pull you into the battle that is taking place between the Order of the Phoenix and the Death Eaters. Not sure how they are planning on pulling the seventh book off since that all but left that important battle out of this film.
One more thing...they left out many of the details (memories) about the Half Blood Prince...the memories that you read about in the book give you a much better concept of why Dumbledore even wants Harry know them. It's a pretty important point that is all but skipped over in the movie.

Moon

Woooooo...what a movie. The whole concept is far beyond anything I could have imagined. The movie ranges from depressing to mind blowing. You leave thinking about all kinds of things that you don't expect to. I do wish that the ending has been a little more conclusive.

Whatever Works

What an awesome movie!! Woody Allen never lets me down. The cast was killer and the humor spot on. Evan Rachel Wood was hysterical and played her role to a "T". Larry David's character starts getting to you a little towards the middle/end of the movie. Just as soon as it does the movie takes a turn and some well needed relief from all the pessimism saves it. The ending is great and just what I wanted to happen :-)

My Sister's Keeper

I went to see this film with my husband who has not read the book...unlike me. After reading the book the movie was a disappointment. I tried not to tell Clay any details from the book until the movie was over. Once I gave him the run down of the changes he said he preferred the book version too. Not to say the movie is not good but it's just not anywhere near as enjoyable at the book. Your heart strings get tugged something awful no matter which version you go for.
Abigail Breslin and Alec Baldwin are the only two actors that really translate their book characters. Which is a shame because the story does not come across as strong at it could have. Cameron Diaz does not at all make sense but for the movie version I guess she does okay.
Clay's one liner was "Hollywood f**ked it up again"

Away we Go

This movie was really beautiful and funny and just all the right things. The acting was spot on and with every scene a new face popped up. We kept going "hey that's so and so". We laughed a lot and some of us cried a little ;-). This movie is worth going to the art cinema to see for sure.
