50 Word Review: Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince

First let me say I wish I could give myself more than 50 words for this review...but hey if I'm going to stick with this silly 50 word thing, this will be the review challenge of all challenges.



Like great chocolate, the film is dark, rich and fulfilling. It’s a clear contender for best in the series with beautiful cinematography, dazzling special effects, heart-tugging emotion and laugh out loud moments. Readers will notice omissions from the book with great additions that broaden the Potter world outside of Hogwarts.

The film forgoes the importance of the title but you’ll be too intrigued to care.

50 Word Review: Blood:The Last Vampire

Blood is visually exciting with incredible fight choreography. The downside? The Americans. Whenever an American shows up, the film turns dim. When it’s just the Japanese characters, the beautiful photography and incredible fight scenes, things work very well. A great fight film unfortunately loyal to the source material.

Ten more words:

I prefer Japanese film like sushi, authentic with no Americans.
