My Review

This is first movie out of Harry Potter movies I have read the books and now looking forward to review the movies started now with first Harry Potter movie below get ready.

So first movie I see in theaters years ago with a friend so this first time in years I see Harry Potter movies in years maybe this good to get my mind refresh on the series as well I am sure the movie series will indeed do that so how does the movie open with wizard and professor mcgonagall who was in a form of cat turn human she is top teacher of magic school and is very good at magic as well so her and the wizard meet on street there rumors of a boy that is important brought by hagid and they decided to leave him with his aunt and uncle also the boy has a mark on forehead well then it goes years later he is all grow up being bullied bye his cousin and his aunt who is rude as well so Harry got Bully from them.

Then at zoo Harry did get a little revenge some by free a snake but got catch by the uncle and was ground it may look bad now but I am sure things will change though as owl sure up with mail for Harry Potter but uncle try to get rid of them but they keep on coming so uncle run away but then hagid show up and tell the story to him thank god then he see cousin pig out on cake and did magic on him in a funny way then he give Harry a choice to go school of magic or stay there and well he choice to go I would too then staying with them family fools.

First he need to get money so he goes to bank as they unlock his dad safe which turns out be he rich and left his son lots of coins keep a eye out too the one that open safe is a familler voice you see in movies before soon as I heard I indeed know who actor was pretty cool though.

Later Harry try to find a wand he has a few choice but did not fit unit guy found him one then later Harry ask about how is mom died she was killed by evil lord Voldemort and he try to kill Harry Potter as a baby but something stop him hagid said and he still out there as well so they go train station and he told him to go this number he had a go and Harry ask him a question and he was gone guess he on his own to try and find a way to Hogwarts school so with a little help from Ron and Ginny as well keep a eye on her as well her character is very important for series here as well so Harry goes though and now there the train to hogwarts school this where he become friends with Ron as they eat the whole cart of candy which will probably give give them stomach aces later lol then they meet hermione and well made friends with her as well them 3 are very very important characters of the film as well though the series.

Then you get sort into classes by a hat which potter got sort into gyffindor which is good magic good thing he did not get sorting into bad one came close though before that he meet snape and then his forehead hurts him does snape here have a bone to pick with Harry then Harry reads newspaper later and see bank vault him and hagid went too was broken into hmm very interesting.

Then it goes to broom training or flying lessons and the professor see him fly and makes him new seeker so now he got to learn to play like his father then later after class Ron made fun of hermione and then she runs into bathroom crying bad news a troll is out and so 3 friends battle it in a small battle 5 points taken and 5 points giving to Gryffindor for damn luck laugh at tha but ok.

After that seek game has started what you do is get ball as it slytherin vs gryffindor battle the game goes get the ball in the air and throw though the hop to get 10 points most points win but get golden seeker anytime and it over whole playing someone is messing with potter big time look like snape maybe hermione went over there and save the day as Harry got the golden ball and win for his team.

Then after that Christmas time everyone head home but Ron and Harry stay as he gets a invisible clock or blacket it is very cool it is now he can maybe what go on but he has to be careful as well.

Soon as Harry got to hogwarts odd things has happen his forehead hurting someone let troll out and someone messing with his broom someone hates potter and is playing games with him as well remember lord Voldemort well May of got first small look at him later as something was drinking the blood of a unicorn turns out May of been lord Voldemort lucky someone saved Harry though or lord could of grab him there nice build up though.

So big ending is coming up for first movie as they try and find out secret of sorcerer stone they go though guards of the gate first 3 head dog lucky they get though then giant weeds trap them they made it though that but more traps are throw them the final one before getting there is a game of chess and they are players and they can get killed for real ron played the game good but put his life on the line so Harry can pass so Ron got took out as Harry said chess mate and that it so now Harry.

Well then truth comes out it was coward teacher the whole time who was lord Voldemort this was first meeting again between them he was after the stone but he finds out Harry weaks him by touch him as he beat him for now but his soul left so this is not the end of lord Voldemort though but for now Harry win this battle as his soul goes though Harry knocking him out as Harry woke up in hospital wing as wizard and him talk and he said Voldemort will be back.

So one last thing who win the battle of points and came in first which school wins the house cup well with some added points the Gryffindor won the house cup as school years ends so now it back to his aunts and goofing uncle for now as movie ends with train leaving a very good ending.

Well what a good started it was fun watching this one again and see it again they did a good job in this one good acting good effects of magic and great build as well they made Voldemort scary looking as well the only thing I did not like was his family being so mean just jealous I guess and so after watching this is it close to books sort of but I do think you should read first book might have more then movie sometimes they can not fit everything in movie so just letting you but will say they did a very job with this and next week looking forward to review the next movie of the series which will take a bit as there lots of movies so every Saturday night for reviews will be Harry Potter movies reviews unit the end this is end of first movie review unit next week have a good rest of your weekend.

Harry Potter and the sorcerer’s stone (2001) rating 8/10

Beetlejuice , Beetlejuice (2024) teaser review

Well by the time this get up will have my new computer as I write this still waiting this was written a day before we get snow storm as well but anyway here my thoughts on new teaser trailer of Beetlejuice 2.

As trailer starts you hear the song day O sing by someone turns out that Winona Ryder her self singing as well she also in the movie some other characters are not but some do return her mom is back as well father the guy who played him got in trouble a lot not going over that so you see a girl riding that bike though that bridge where 2 characters got killed they will not be back playing there roles which is a bummer should be something to see how they get write off anyway after that part they go to a funeral my guess for father maybe?

Then it shows them all there even Catherine o hara is back as well which is good look like a good cast lineup and then it goes to town model yes the whole city model is back and as song goes deep you can see Lydia run you can tell pretty much she knows what coming and then beetlejuice pops out of it and to end the trailer her face lights upI think she was thinking oh shit here we go again it was good reaction and good teaser as well.

Good start to tease us there been many fan trailers that look real this one was indeed not one and it give me a lot of 80’s vibes with Winona Ryder singing Day O that was indeed great for teaser here indeed will go see it heard there maybe a twist that blow your mind as well that no one see coming if that true can’t wait to find out more so yeah a thumbs up to this little teaser here will indeed be watching in September when it comes out and looking forward to see Michael Keaton as beetlejuice again.

Also to what story brings how will it go after the last one should be interesting this is not a reboot but the 2nd movie to beetlejuice movie hopefully they keep Lydia the same though least she still wearing black which is good also looking forward to what them 2 has to say to each other after beetlejuice ending that should be something to see anyway think I talk a lot about beetlejuice new movie but if I have anything more to say will be for now it does look great go check it out.

My Review

Last lord of the rings movie I be reviewing there are other ones but no plan to review them yet maybe before end of the year but after this next week Harry Potter reviews will start and will be a long one as well that next week for now here is finale of the 3 movie series lord of the rings.

Movie starts off with what to be Gollum human side before he become a monster and his friend fishing then his friend finds the ring and this what drive Gollum cause him to change into monster he talks about this story how he become the monster good opening there interesting they start movie then he wakes them both up and say time to go Sam says to Frodo they are running out so better hurry before it does and curse of the ring gets Frodo as well.

This is longer movie of series too me but you need lots of time to do everything to end it big battles and huge ending to series that start it an and also you be again to wonder who lives and who dies in this one and when will Gollum here turn on them or try to broken up up he is very good at mind games that for sure in his head

One of Frodo goofing friend thought it would be cool to check out Crystal ball well it turn evil and he almost does now they know where he is and might go after him thinking he has the ring a silly move there.

Then it goes Arwen aka liv Tyler see her future and her son so she turn around and goes to her father who still says her future is death.

Frodo Sam and gallum run into a little problem as Frodo ring has now open the gates of many monsters ready to fight this where battle between good and evil starts whole the crew climb to the top good thing they did not see them if they could of been toast after that castle was indeed attack and they are fighting for there life’s they hold off one attack Gandalf finds out Frodo and Sam where see and guy told him where he going and Gandalf look worried he should be danger lies ahead.

Then goes back to Frodo and Sam who sleeping and Gollum throws the right of food Down the cliff as they sleep on mountain but I know where this going yep Gollum broken them as Frodo told Sam to go home just one question how does he get home the story is indeed getting interesting here because you know soon Frodo will find out the truth about what evil Gollum is doing here and will turn on him but for now guess it just them both where does Sam fit it now.

But right now evil monsters are getting ready for battle so Aragom goes for help in an army of ghost? Will there help them or not would even the odds since they can not be killed they better hurry because they are attacking castle with deadly weapons this best I see good action here indeed.

Back to Frodo and Gollum well he lead into a cave which leads to spider webs and yes a huge spider which look scary indeed then Gollum attacks here we go Frodo vs Gollum and it ending with him throwing him off the cliff is he gone for good is question but just when he was finding a way out spider gets Frodo

Stick him In Frodo is out cold unit Sam shows up and beats the spider but Sam had a plan let bad guys take Frodo to place where they must go hopefully this right move by Sam or not but got to do something then goes back to big battle as if indeed going down this indeed final battle here not looking good is this end of of end of them hopefully Sam and Frodo can get to the mount of doom and get rid of the ring hopefully.

Aragom does show up witb ghosts who I have agree to help them there was a sad moment as daughter of king watch her father die right in front of her so after all has been beating ghosts are lied to rest for good now all they can do now is wait and see if frodo can get rid of the ring for good that where goes as Frodo is now close to mount doom now Sam has to get too him but he need to fight a few bad guys to do so but he does Frodo says they got to ring but Sam has the ring and gives it too Frodo now they need to get going they are about as close now now look like they are weak though Frodo is but he still hang they do a good job on making where he might failed or do it moment then Sam lift up Frodo was a great moment let go and finish it just as they were that Gollum monster now they throwing everything at them how the heck he lived not sure.

Not sure as battle down there keep going on they made it too the top but will Frodo throw it lava nope Frodo turn evil guess it over he went darkness well they Made think that but Gollum still fighting and got ring back but Frodo knock off cliff and into lava yes ring went with him what a powerful moment he did as everybody watch tower go down probably one of best scenes in movie history it is over but how they get down now is ? Mark if this is end but it not as Gandalf on a big eagle grabs them both and they wake up with hero welcome from everyone.

Someone becomes king as well Aragom does good choose and queen future is right chosen as well another great moment when he said my friends you do not bow as they bow to Frodo and his friends that was great.

After that they all return home as Sam got married just as said he would so everything is looking good look like we getting a happy ending here maybe but they fast forward to 4 years Frodo is still hurting after what gone down that year.

So then they go to elf’s who plan for them to leave middle earth and on too next life Frodo had to go think this leads to afterlife have to read about it more but I am sure he at peace so how does the movie end with Sam hugging his wife and kids as well and that way it ends.

Well it was honor to review this and fun to rewatch can of wish for a better ending for Frodo though but ring damage him I think that why he had to go away would love to know if him and Sam ever meet again very good battles all way to end including edge of seat action as well a great story for all 3 movies Peter Jackson did a great job as and cast and crew as well great lineup you had for this amazing 3 movies no bad ones in my view.

I pretty much write a lot on this well it was 3 hours 20 mins long so lots to talk so to pretty much end this for years and years this will indeed be a classic movies that for sure better go get rest up because next Saturday will be start of Harry Potter movies review series will be a long one but I am ready so for now have a good night and rest of your weekend.

My Review

On to next movie review of lord of ring series where we continue the story from first movie the adventure to get rid of this evil ring once and for all but there will be some bump in the roads

Movie starts off with a beautiful shot of the mountains along with sky the music fits in very well for opening as well then it goes to a shot where they show what happen to Gandalf from last movie against fire Dragon then it show what happen he sure put one heck of fight as fire dragon landed in water and well died then Frodo woke up so was this a dream or not is ? Then we meet Gollum a ugly looking creature trying to get the ring as well the crew meet him as he try to steal the ring from but failed but then creature says don’t kill Me I can get you too where you needed too me I would not trust him but Frodo.

Bye the way this movie is close to 3 hours so there a lot to go over so I will give you my thoughts on what best parts are of this 3 hour lord of rings two towers movie.

Best part within in the first 20 mins there is a few where we see what happen to Gandalf and a small battle with bad guys fighting over Frodo friends some how they got out of there where fighting not much going on but they are slowing build up to a powerful ending of 2nd movie good storytelling here I will say probably the most ugly creature of this movie is Gollum so far again don’t trust that monster who wants ring as well.

Frodo friend go into forest and meet tree creature who says they don’t trust them and only white wizard will know who is the white wizard you see a little bit of side of hair no face pretty much that is Gandalf too me wonder why they didn’t show his face hmm after that Frodo , Gollum continues there journey to top of mountain of fire I call it too get rid of that evil ring after that white wizard was show and it was Gandalf figure great move there he not dead after all and can now help his friends out against evil that is coming ahead.

Whole that going on Frodo and his crew run into a problem as they reach a castle of bad guys that will be tough to get though but Gollum knows a another way or does it mean this is leading to a big trap.

Gandalf and rest of crew arrived where the king is possessed bye Gandalf worst enemy but after a powerful spell by Gandalf the now powerful wizard it knock out bad spirit as the king went back to human self but he find out his son death it was sad to watch after that still no sign of Frodo yet but after 20 mins they get back to Frodo who is doubt his friend after saying ring is making him weak and that what it does very interesting what happen to Frodo here they better hurry to end or else who knows what happens to Frodo if they failed.

A hour 41 mins in this indeed very good story telling and added Gollum In story is something he been help out Frodo a lot but again to trust him is the question he probably just using him to get ring back because that all he talks about it a lot.

Well on too last hour as they get ready for big battle which is not good looking they maybe out number but only thing left to is fight and boy what a battle it is they out number though who can help well some well needed back up does show up lead bye Gandalf and help some from tree friends and a big water fall May put a damp for now as middle earth battle is still yet to come in the next movie and final of 3 series movie so how does the movie well it ended with Gollum planing to kill them and take the ring he was evil the whole time and it ending with them continuing on the journey to get rid of the ring they are close to now and that where it ended.

Have to say another great lord of rings seem to get better each time for story and a great battle at the end there long one but great that way I would do it as well now I have not read the books I do hope to some day but I will take a guess this is pretty close to books with the way it and ending is interesting as well leading up to big finale as battle continues on looking forward to review the 3nd movie next week so have a good rest of your weekend.

My Review

This one 3 movie series I been waiting to review the lord of the rings series so here is my review of the lord of the ring : Felllowship of the ring below.

Movie starts off with a nice intro of the movie nice then someone talking about ring which is indeed important part of series this ring does evil things movie starts off with story how this ring started good storytelling and how ring got into hobbit hands Gandalf the wizard does show up unit 10 mins that where Frodo and Gandalf the nice wizard by the way friend of Frodo as well which is good best to have a wizard on your side and not against you.

Bilbo has the evil ring you can tell how dark it goes when he put it on his mood changed Gandalf is there for his friends birthday which fireworks are cool or magic effect is pretty neat so fair the party is going good for Bilbo there unit he starts acting odd the ring is probably doing it even Gandalf think there something wrong when Gandalf goes to question bilbo starts say it is my ring and then he gives up the ring to Gandalf and leaves the ring to Frodo the pressure is on him now the war on this ring has now started as well.

So Gandalf goes back to castle and look though old papers on story and finds disturbing stuff that for sure he try to burn it but it too powerful to burn so this where the journey starts as Gandalf tell him to get away this where movie starts to get good that for sure.

Gandalf just leaves Frodo and his friend on a journey to get this ring out homeland or else lives will be put in danger so Gandalf goes to old friend another wizard who is well has turn evil and fights against Gandalf and fights against good I guess that was pretty scary the way he handle Gandalf who look can of weak.

So Frodo and his friends go to place where Gandalf said he meet them but he not there and told he been gone and not see for a while and then we see Frodo put on the ring for the first time it is evil the dark ones can see where he is and go after him so ring is bad egg indeed.

So they show where Gandalf is just for a second not long though least they show he still around but bad news is Frodo is great danger because he was stab so this where Arwen played by beautiful liv Taylor she here to help only way to save him Is too get him across the river it was a close one but she made as she wash the dark ones which I call them for now but look like Frodo was getting ready to leave the light but was saved waking up to Gandalf by his side yes the wizard is ok for now but dark dark times maybe ahead and movie will indeed get that way.

So only way to kill it is the way it was made in lava so they must go to that place and get rid of ring to destroy it

Lord of the rings is very long long movie so there lots to go over it so good hard for to review so doing good job as I can too keep up so this maybe longer review just letting you know.

So journey has started but they need to be careful as dark forces are following them on each and ever move they make. So does the first movie lack action no way it does not there is lots of fighting and this good story of the movie as well it was written great as well there also some big huge looking as well also this story is huge they had to do 3 movies and more to give us full story but number 1 is a good start to series.

Fire dragon there be chase after was pretty cool but lots of close calls though as they try to get out of cave everything behind them is falling apart then you see Gandalf fall with fire Dragon and you wonder liked I did when I first saw this because I never read the books is this it did they quick kill this character off that is loved by fans too me too me don’t think they would and you find out in the next movie you will.

So this chapter ends with Frodo and his friend going one as other and as they look ahead Frodo says to friend I am happy you are with me as it rolls to credits.

Well that first lord of the rings movies there are 2 more but after that there some more only plan to review first 3 ones so this was a great start to series with a great opening everything look good in this effects ugly monster good acting and story this is a big one they needed 3 movies that ok this would be a long movie if it was just put into one so next week will be reviewing the next movie chapter of the lord of the rings so unit then have a great rest of your weekend.

Lord of the rings :the fellowship of the rings (2001) rating 8/10
