Bittersweet Ending
PostedJuly 18, 2011

Harry Potter...what will we do without you? The movie is a MUST SEE without a doubt. Yet, how sad that this journey must come to an end. This is an epic that transcends age...
I was happy that they did bring back all of our beloved characters from books past.
Whether or not you are a Harry Potter fan, you have GOT to be a part of this phenomenon!!!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

SOOO MUCH BETTER THAN EXPECTED.

I went into this movie just for a diversion with not really too many expectations. Boy, was I surprised.
Not only were the visual effects brilliant, but the acting was superb. With a wink and a nod here and there, one could not help but smile.
You truly believed the relationships between the characters.
Could not believe 2 hours could pass so fast. All I know is that I already can't wait for the dvd to come out.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Amazing the Difference a Director Makes

I am a "mom" and a huge fan of the books. I must say I was greatly disappointed in the initial Twilight film (why stray from a great book and why make the entire movie "blue"?) So, I was excited to hear a new director was taking over.
Boy, what a difference! It was not only brighter, but stayed with the book for the most part (slight differences NOT making a difference). Maybe the actors took this movie more serious because (the acting was even better), all the way around, it was a MUCH better movie.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Not the Best, but ok...

I am a big Mummy fan, too. And, yes, it wasn't the same without Rachel in her role.
I thought the same thing about it trying so hard to be another Indiana Jones (and I'm a HUGE Indy fan). However, in a real twist of events (with Indy being my first choice movie to go see over Mummy), I would definitely recommend this Mummy film to the latest Indiana Jones film which I found to be a big disappointment.
So, as sequels go, I wasn't expecting a lot. I didn't get a "lot" but I got more than I was expecting which was a pleasant surprise.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Don't Miss This!!!

To hear Josh Groban sing on a recording is truly beyond bliss, but to watch him perform live is an incredible experience that will make you realize the truly exceptional talent that he has.
To think at just 27 years of age (26 when filming this concert) he has the quality of his voice and great material that spans generations -- watch and you will see young children to great grandmothers in the audience (and yes, even husbands and boyfriends). This is truly amazing for one artist to experience.
Too many people categorize Josh as classical/crossover pop. To watch one of Josh's live concerts is more in line with being at a rock concert. The man never stops and he doesn't miss a note in the process.
Backed up by fabulous musicians, including the extremely talented Lucia Miccareli, this dvd is a treat for not only your ears and eyes, but also for your heart and soul.
It's a DO NOT MISS.
