The finale begins...

Considering they are making one book into two films, DEATHLY HALLOWS PART 1 (or HP 7, Pt. 1, as the posters say) actually still leaves out some interesting parts of the book, most notably the leave-taking does with the Dursleys and Dudley's actual friendly admission about how he feels about Harry. Perhaps it was shot and will show up on the DVD, but considering that they did add a scene in which Harry and Hermione dance that was NOT in the book (but does feel like a nice little breather in an otherwise grim film) and another more risque one in which they kiss, many Potter fans are probably wondering what will happen in the concluding part due out next year.
I still think AZKABAN is the best of the films (mostly because I feel that Cuaron was the best director they have had) but Yates has done a yeoman's job in the films he has done for the series, and it is so astounding in how Radcliffe, Grint and Watson have grown-not just in their characters but also as actors. I truly hope that wherever their careers take them they continue to produce great work.
The supporting cast is great, as usual, and the rating of PG-13 should be taken very seriously by parents. This is not a film I would recommend to young children-there are many disturbing images and scenes, and the death of a few well-known characters might leave some younger viewers a bit distraught.
All in all, a really terrific film, and I cannot wait for the finale next year and the expected demise of one character, which should blow the roof off packed theaters when it happens.

Yes, I recommend this movie.

Finally, a film that actually is brave enough to think that the audience has a mind and can use it. INCEPTION is a film that not only is intelligent, but also spiritual, action-packed and jaw dropping (Will any film even come close to topping that shot of Paris curling on itself? Really?). Christopher Nolan is one of the few directors living whose films I will see without pausing (Cameron, Tarantino and anything by Pixar are also in that rarified community) and that is because he not only gives you a diet rich in imagination but also depth and characterization. DiCaprio is finally aging into his face with the result that you can now believe his character has a history, Gordon-Levitt can fight as well as act, Page has to bring the exposition but does it well, Watanabe is both mysterious and sympathetic, Cotillard is heartbreaking and Cillian Murphy shows that he can also play a human with a heart. I-LOVED-THIS-MOVIE!!
Yes, I recommend this movie.
