Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 - It is much better than the first part. There is much more drama and it is quite emotional because it is the end of an era. I'm 19 and have grown up reading the books and watching the films.

The nineteen years later scene was a bit naff because none of the cast could get away for the age they were supposed to be.

Overall, a quality watch though. Best film yet. Wonder whether JK Rowling will explore any other avenues in this wondeful Harry Potter series?

Rewatched Hot Fuzz and Walk Hard yesterday. Solid fun. I love Hot Fuzz. Waiting for the third film in the series.

Rec and Rec 2. I have like, almost daily movie marathons with a friend of mine, and I still watch movies outside of those, so I've seen some real cinematic upsets before. Nothing like this. Rec was so great that I genuinely wanted to see almost all of these characters die (except for the bald fireman). Ended up really into it to the point where I actually got startled by a part or two, it ended, we said "**** this we're watching the sequel NOW".

Demon zombie virus. Are. You. Kidding? 0/10 two thumbs down.

Yeah [Rec 2] was pretty god awful, however it was at least uplifting to learn that it's not just American horror film makers that cock up the rushed sequel to a surprise hit.

Absolutely mesmerising. It says a lot when the only criticism of a film has been 'pretentious', anyone who throws that word around when describing films is a bit of a cretin. I'd heard in equal measures unanimous praise and scorn for it. But the praise seemed to carry more weight. To call something visually stunning in this day and age always feels a little trite, to me. Then again, people said Avatar was visually stunning lol. But they were outstanding, I got the feeling I was watching something some what profound. It had its flaws, but they weren't in the direction nor the cinematography. Ahhh, that cinematography. If that doesn't win awards then I don't know what will. One of the best films of the decade thus far. 4/5

I can't wait to see that.

It's an extremely polarising film. Though, it seems small close-minded people throw the 'dog ate my homework' of film criticism about in an attempt to be taken seriously and it's just become a stock phrase now that means very little. Though, I understand it's not a film for everyone. Hence why it's so polarising. But I've only heard a couple of really well thought out explanations for why they disliked the movie. It certainly has its flaws, but I don't know how anyone couldn't appreciate it on some level. The technical proficiency is fantastic. I think some people could feel like it's a little detached, I kind of felt like that at times. But not too often. Its cinematic scope reminded me of 2001: A Space Odyssey except an extremely poor man's Space Odyssey. I can't wait to get it on DVD and watch it again.

It wasn't at all what I was expecting. Sure, I did expect liberal blood and gore and lots of camp value, but not this. I was hoping for something more along the lines of Kick-Ass or Kill Bill Vol. 1, but instead what I got was an unfunny, nearly soulless, appalling, and kind of disturbing bloodbath. That's not to say that it wasn't at all entertaining, but there were many times that I really felt like turning it off.

didn't really like the unrelenting action and the endless fights that much, but the ending is a very nice closure to the series - 6.5/10
