Weasley is my king!

I am currently running on 4 hours of sleep.
Not to mention, I went through 10 hours of work today.
And I've been feeling sickly all day.
But here is my review of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

It gets a "thumbs up!"
A "thumbs way up!"
It is one of my favorite Harry Potter movies.
And that is saying something, since I really love The Goblet of Fire.

I found this one really funny.
The romance that is there provides for great moments.
Jessie Cave makes a great Lavender Brown.
She totally plays the part of the "crazy in love teenager" wonderfully.

This movie really brought back the trio.
I feel like The Order of the Phoenix pushed the trio into the background.
Half-Blood Prince really showed their relationship, which will definitely be good for Deathly Hallows.
Plus, I really do love Ron Weasley.

Rupert Grint=my best friend.
Or at least I wish.
The part where he eats the candy with the love potion is genius.
The guy is truly hysterical.

I loved DRad in this.
And by "DRad" I mean Dan Radcliffe, obviously.
The liquid luck part is also great.
This movie was just filled with funny moments.

However, those of us who have read the books know that is has the dark moments.
Tom Felton's performance as Draco Malfoy was awesome.
The emotion he brought to the character made me actually feel a little sorry for Draco, which I never felt in the books.

The Inferi are creep-tastic.
Funny story: I was going to attempt to scare my sister even more than I knew she was going to be scared.
(She hasn't read the books. But she is an avid movie goer.)
So I slyly slid my hand to the arm rest right by her leg right before the Inferi show up.
Then, when they popped out of the lake, I grabbed her leg.
She screamed and totally peed her pants.
Funny part: so did I.*

A couple things bothered me a little though.
I don't know as if they talked about the Horcruxes enough.
They didn't discuss Dumbledore's ideas on what the Horcruxes could be, which I think will be a problem in Deathly Hallows.
I'll keep my faith in the movie makers though.

I also don't think they talked about the Half-Blood Prince enough.
It was barely talked about.
I feel like they only put it in the movie because that's the name of the movie.

So there you go.
My overview of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
Go see it.
I'm going to see it again on Saturday.

Oh!
And that part in the end:
I cried.

*Neither one of us actually peed our pants.

My Super Happening Weekend

This weekend, I...

1)...had curly/wavy hair.
So you all know my hair is pretty much straight. Always. Saturday, though, it decided it would agree with me and go curly for the day. Erin says it is because it is humid; I just think it is because I'm awesome. I'm sorry I didn't document this. Maybe it will happen again.

2)...had a Twilight nerd moment.
Usually my nerd moments relate to Harry Potter. This weekend though I had a Twilight one. This is how it went down: My sister just got back together with her boyfriend. Well, in their time part, she found someone else to go to prom with. You know, just as friends. Well her and her bf were talking about whether or not he would go to prom. I guess his mom told him he should go since it is his senior year and all. These words came out of my mouth: "Prom is an important rite of passage. I wouldn't want you to miss anything."

..........Face. Meet palm........

In case you didn't know, that line was said by this cat here...


3)...went to see 17 Again.
I'll give my little movie review here.
Thumbs up!
Zac Efron. That's all that really needs to be said. After Rupert Grint and Rob, he's right up there on my list of celebrity crushes. He seems to play basketball in every movie he is in. I don't really have a problem with that, especially when he does it without a shirt.
It was a really good movie though.

4)...learned that my grandma has seen Twilight.
She didn't like it though. Not that I really expected her to. I was just shocked that she has actually seen it. I should have asked her if she thought Ed was hot....

5)...discovered that there is an Edward Cullen roaming around my town.
(Ed is mentioned in this post a lot...)
This is actually really creepy. It just makes me feel a little better when I can make light of it and laugh. That's how I deal with things. Anyways, apparently there has been someone in town that looks in people's windows. And here lately, I guess he (or she...I don't know if we really know) has broken into people's houses and just watches them sleep. Like doesn't steal things just pulls an Ed and watches them sleep. Creepy right.
Further evidence Ed is here:
I took a creep-tastic picture when I went to the DG the other day. Apparently Ed shops at Dollar General cause I spotted his silver Volvo there. However, I seriously fail on the "taking pictures of things" front. The evidence of this occurence is on my phone, however the cord to connect the phone to the computer is not with me. Sad time.

6)...found out my future step-sister has met Stephenie Meyer.
Yep. I was jealous. Super jealous. My eventual step-sister lives in Texas and I guess there is a book festival or something like that that she volunteers to work for and she sometimes gets to meet the authors and escort them places. And once she got to escort Stephenie Meyer. She said she was really cool and nice. I'm thinkin someone needs to get me a job working at this festival.

7)...asked my sister if she wanted to go see Little Ashes with me.
Actually, the exact words out of my mouth were something along the lines of: "Do you want to go see Rob's new movie with me?! He's a little gay and apparently gets naked."
Her response?

"No."

movie review!

I watched Twilight again today. For the 7645538th time (that's a rough estimate). Anyhoo(ters), I realized 2 things: a) I haven't done a movie review for a while, and b) I haven't reviewed Twilight yet! (gasp!) So here we go.

Twilight: Thumbs up!

I really like this movie. A lot. While it does differ from the book slightly, I still like it. I mean, pretty much any movie that is based on a book is gonna be slightly different, and I'm ok with that. I do kinda wish they would have included more interaction with the Cullen family, but oh well.

Some things:

This guy. Robert Pattinson. Yeah, he's amazing. I'm pretty sure we should be friends.

This scene. Greatest thing ever. Rob knows how to rock those Ray Bans. Like it is nobody's business.

I want her hair. For reals.

A few more things I noticed/realized during this viewing:
1) The baseball scene is one of my favorites. It made me fall in love with Emmett Cullen even more, and kinda discover my love for Jasper Hale (who is always in pain). And it made me want to play baseball. And anything that can do that is impressive. Cause let's face it:
Me+baseball (or any sport really)=not a good relationship.

2) How the crap was Billy Black driving that truck?! You know, when he was going to the Swan residence and he and Ed had that little death stare going on. I don't understand.

3) Speaking of death stares, that one at the end between Jake and Ed....awesome. I got really excited for New Moon and Eclipse when I saw that.

So anyways...go watch Twilight. I'll watch it with you if you want.



(I have a couple more movie reviews coming soon. I promise. But right now, I'm kinda busy....sad news. But just be patient. :) )

Movie Review(s)

Rupert/Rob Movies Volume 1:

So in this first edition of movie reviews, I'll tell you about two great movies, one with Rupert Grint and one with Robert Pattinson: Thunderpants and The Haunted Airman. Let's start with Rupert's.

Thunderpants: Rating: Thumbs up!
The storyline of this move is kinda outrageous. I'm laughing just thinking about it. Pretty much, this kid (I think his name was Patrick) has a problem. A flatulence problem. And he can't control it. Well his friend Alan A. Allen (Rupert) can't smell, so they are good buddies. Alan is really smart too, so he tries to help with the problem by making the "thunderpants". And Farting Boy has this dream to go into space, so Alan tries to help with that too.
It was made right after Rupert was in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, so he is really young. You should probably watch it. I laughed a lot. And Rupert's hair is perm-tastic.

The Haunted Airman: Rating: Thumbs sideways...
So I'm still confused by what was going on in this movie. Robert plays this pilot in the British army and he gets hurt in action and is paralyzed from the waist down. Well his aunt/lover (I know....) sends him to this freaky hospital. Then he starts seeing things and having nightmares and all and the doctor really isn't doing much. Then the ending is really weird. I won't give away the spoilers. I think I'm gonna have to watch it again, and maybe I won't be so confused. You can watch it too.
