The End Is Near

A hate to say this, but it is time to bring all of this wizardly silliness to an end. The magic that carries these characters from one scrape to another is disjointed and puzzling. The pieces of the elaborate mystery are being drawn together for the ultimate showdown between Lord Valdemort and Harry – let’s get on with it. The swords, wands, medallions, rings and spells are being collected so that Harry and his cohorts can live happily ever after. The one good part of the film is the adolescent tension that develops among Harry, Hermione and Ron. Just as the film might give us something real, an evil doer shows up to take us off on another flight of phantasmical fantasy. We have to wait until May 2011 for the final episode.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Fabulous Visuals

Dickens’ classic comes alive with stunning visuals and fantastic detail as live action is combined with animation to make the ghosts as scary as they ever will be. Victorian London is filled with its smoke and smells as we see the hard life of many against the backdrop of the upper crust. Scrooge is treated to fantastic rides above and through his London as the ghosts let him see his life for what it really is. The film cleverly uses its stars to maximum benefit. The filmmakers fuse modern technology and strong performances to bring Dickens’ classic tale to a new audience. It even pays homage to Dickens by using large amounts of his original prose. This is a great time at the movies, especially in IMAX 3D.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
