So this is where action movies get all their ideas from. I rarely, and I mean rarely, enjoy a movie older than I am this much. I know, its petty, but for some reason that's how my tastes go. Gene Hackman is such a badass in this. Love the crime/drama/action combination that is the basis for so many good movies that are made now!

[4.5/5]

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

We somehow missed this in the theater. I could have sworn we had seen it, but I didn't remember it at all. This was my first HP book I read and now that I've watched the movie I feel like a lot was left out. The movie works on its own though and I probably would've enjoyed it more had I not read the book. Its a good penultimate in the series and gets you ready for the final "mission".

Potter Order: 3,1,4,2,6,5

[3.5/5]

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

The special effects in this one is by far the best so far. The final battle scene with Voldemort is remarkable! That being said, this movie drives me crazy. The character of Dolores Umbridge does exactly what she's supposed to do, gets under your skin and you're constantly praying for her to die a slow and painful death. I also don't get the plot point where everyone just ignores Harry in hopes that it will keep him out of trouble. The more I think about it, the more I like Goblet, so this one is definitely my least favorite so far. Rating in order from best to worst 3,1,4,2,5. Yes, I changed it up from last time. I'm allowed to.

[3.5/5]

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

While I enjoyed the dark, "Empire Strikes Back" feeling to this HP, it was still my least favorite. The ending was probably the best part, Voldemort returns for real, Harry doesn't really defeat anything but basically just gets away, and Edward Cullen dies!

For those keeping track, my HP order is now, 3-1-2-4
[4/5]

Killers

What to say about this movie... Um, there's a lot of good eye candy in it? How's that? Oh, here's one, I got my money's worth out of watching this by renting it at redbox.
[2/5]

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

I actually enjoyed this more than the first HP. Love the time travel element as well as Gary Oldman as Sirius Black. So far in my HP revisit, my order is 3-1-2.

[4.5/5] (but I'm rating it a 5 on netflix)

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

Another in our potter recap. This one does a good job of representing the book and provides some more action than the first.

[4/5]

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

I've been listening to the audiobooks of the HP series. Now, we're going back and rewatching the movies. Watched 1 yesterday and while the book of course is better and more detailed, the movie definitely holds up and does the book justice.

[4.5/5]

Zombieland

My first watching after seeing it in the theater last year was a great one! Zombieland didn't lose anything upon the rewatch!

[5/5]
