Harry Potter Deathly Hollows Part 2

When Hollywood takes on a JK Rowling book, it is hard to stay true to the story. This movie did a really good job of assimilating the story into a screenplay that will satisfy the die hard fans. In seeing the opening, it was clear to me from the number of robes and wands filling several theatres simultaneously that Rowling's work is a real classic that will stand the tests of time. I give the movie a 9 out of 10 as I feel that some elements were left out and characters were underutilized. The 3D did not really add much to the story, so don't waste the extra money on it.

Horrible Bosses

I enjoyed this movie. It was a bit campy and low brow, but it was fun. The cast was terrific and the story line was significant enough to keep my interest. The story pace was good, but I would have liked to have seen more humor. From a humor perspective, I was expecting more. Nonetheless, I'll still give it a 7 on a scale of 1-10 because of the cast. Kevin Spacey and Jennifer Aniston are not getting Oscars for this one, but it was obvious that this was a fun project.

Larry Crowne Review

Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts star in this Romantic comedy about Larry Crowne, a fired retail worker with no college education and a 10 year stint in the Navy as a cook. Larry has to start his life over and finds some very interesting scooter friends in school that help him to transform his life from a chaotic disaster into something more manageable.

The movie was humorous, but it lacked the level of drama I was expecting from Hanks and Roberts. It will not hold a candle to Forest Gump or Pretty Woman, but it is a nice feel good movie that is worth the time to view. On a scale of one to ten, I'd give it a 5.5
