Couch Potato Madness: The End Of Harry Potter Saga: A Review

Just got home from watching Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Part 2. I watched it together with my workmate Karen Dar Juan. Imagine, it was expensive because I watched it in Glorietta. I travelled from Cavite all the way to Makati just to watch this. Good thing, the movie never failed me.

PLUS POINTS OF THE MOVIE:

- The special effects were great. it seems that the production staff really put their best foot forward for this film.

- There are funny scenes and reactions from the cast which made all of us inside the cinema laughed.

- The revelation of the past events was executed in a good way.

- The magic spells are awesome!

- Harry's body is so hot, hot, hot!

- The son of Harry Potter was good looking.

DELTA POINTS OF THE MOVIE:

- There is only one, I just noticed that Harry's scar is at the left side of his forehead, however, the scar on  baby Harry's forehead is located at the right portion. This is kinda misleading.

Over-all, I give this movie 5 stars still because of the special effects and the humor it brought to its audience.

I'm just thinking, now that Harry Potter Saga has ended, what will happen to Daniel Radcliffe? Will he be stuck in the persona of Harry Potter forever or will he be accepting another role to introduce another fictional character? Will the Harry Potter craze ends after this? Anyways, one thing for sure, Harry Potter will live forever and will always be remembered. Thanks Daniel Radcliffe for bringing Hogwarts and the world of wizardry in our hearts for a decade. Kudos, great job for portraying Harry Potter!

Couch Potato Madness: Tranformers: Dark Of The Moon: A Review

I know it's a bit late for this review, I'm just busy with other things.

The Autobots and the Decepticons came back to the movie scene with the third sequel of Transformers series with Dark Of The Moon.

This movie, I must say includes almost everything, drama, comedy, suspense, history, and most of all... ACTION! I loved all the scenes, especially the robots that were featured. The scenes are breath-taking. It seems real as you watch it. The performances of the main casts Shia LaBeouf and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley were awesome as well. I'm just thinking that now that Megatron was killed, if there will be another installment for this movie.

For this movie, I would rate it Five Stars. There is no dull moment in this movie. It exceeded my expectations and gave a wow factor to its viewers!

Best Fight Scenes In Movies

 

Yesterday, I had the chance to check all the DVD's and VCD's I have at home, I found two, which were Naked Weapon and DOA (Dead Or Alive). So I watched it again. Honestly, this is not the first time for me to see those movies, but these movies cannot be ignored. The fight scenes were awesome! It brings shiver to my spine everytime I see those punches, kicks, lifts and the coordination of their hand movements for defense. After I watch those two movies, I decided to borrow another VCD from a friend, and that is So Close. I also saw this movie for the nth time. I must say that these three movies thrills me a lot! Here are cideo clips of the best fight scenes for every movie:

So Close

Naked Weapon

D.O.A. (Dead Or Alive)

I won't hesitate to watch these three movies again, and again and again! Promise! =)
