Talkie Tuesday: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

"Why is it, when something happens, it is ALWAYS you three?"

Hello everyone!

With December just around the corner (literally!) I figured it was time to do the last sort of regular movie review before I dive off the deep end and start on my Christmas movies.

Yes, like I've done for the past two years or so, I'll be devoting December reviews entirely to the Christmas theme, so after tonight, the final two movie reviews of the saga will have to wait until after New Year's and for us to return in January.

I know, I know, I had that break in October as well, why couldn't I have planned this better?

I should have. But my math failed me and I didn't really calculate how many weeks there are left in the year, so there you have it.

I plan on getting the entire movie saga on here though, so don't worry.

It may just take a little bit more time.

But, as a last huzzah before being merry and bright, let's take a look at Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

Talkie Tuesday: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

"There's a storm coming, Harry."

Hello everyone!

You didn't think we were actually done with magic, did you?

Things are only just heating up!

This week is all about teen angst, magical spiritual connections, and a whole lot of dainty coughing when all you want to do is strangle the person who's actually doing the coughing.

You have to love it when an author comes up with a character that you hate even more than the antagonist. There's a certain kind of magic in THAT, for sure.

Last week, we were dealing with some early adolescence, but this week that's a full-blown thing, and you can't escape it, no matter how much you may want to.

And of course, there's still a heck of a lot of a lot of magic going on.

Voldemort is back, people. And so is the Order of the Phoenix.

Talkie Tuesday: Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone

"Ye're a wizard, Harry."

Hello everyone!

As you can probably tell from the title of tonight's blog post, you know exactly which movie I'll be talking about.

I recently had a marathon of Harry Potter movies back when I was at the seaside with my mother, so I thought to myself, what better time to go through them yet again than during the autumn months when the weather is basically PERFECT for witchcraft and wizardry?

After all, the return to Hogwarts is a thing now every September 1st at King's Cross.

Plus, with the prequel movies and all the other hype surrounding the books that are yet to come in this franchise, Harry is everyone's friend, and everyone knows him.

So why not join in the fun, right?

Grab your wands and follow Hagrid, first years!

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is just across the Great Lake.

Talkie Tuesday: Coco

"Never forget how much your family cares for you."

Hello everyone!

I hope you all had a lovely Easter weekend and that you're ready for all the new challenges coming your way. 

For me, this means making sure I'm on top of my blog posts.

Tonight's will be another Disney one to amuse ourselves with, but then again, Disney seems to have figured it all out - how to both draw audiences in and keep their attention AND make lots and lots of money right along with that.

While I can honestly say it's not about the money for me, I'll admit that I like the way they're going.

I had seen some previews for their newest movie before actually sitting down to watch it, but it didn't occur to me that I'd enjoy it as much as I have.

Then again, Disney has a way with people, as I've mentioned before.

So hold on to your sombreros, amigos - it's Coco time!
