My Review


First week of 2 classic movies I grow up watching as a kid no was not born in 1951 but did see this growing up in the 80’s which was my childhood era.



I got this on blu ray and it look pretty cool for an old movie picture look nice and clean look like it came out in this era picture does they did a good job on putting this on blu ray.



Now this one is a lot different then one I did early well yeah that one was short this 1 a little bit longer 1 hour 15 mins so it same story almost but with different characters and the one who voice Alice name is Kathryn Beaumont who does voiceover she is very good also there one part of movie that a little disturbing where oysters get eat up bye walrus and he said they were good did not show it probably would of got lot of complains If they show them being eat up they could of least left that out though.


Anyway after that Alice meets rabbit again he thinks her name is Mary Ann well she goes in his house and some reason grows huge and her legs come out out of house that goes on for a good time unit she gets small again after that meets the rose she was very nice to Alice then started singing a song called golden afternoon they should of had a sing along for this classic as well on blu ray they were nice to her for a bit then kick her out after calling her a weed after that she meets Caterpillar in form of letters there talk ends as his changes his self into a butterfly but does give 1 huge tip to get big again so she takes that advice and gets big again not long eats the other side and gets small but then lick mushroom and gets to her Normal size then after the famous goofing Cheshire Cat one of favorite characters he is one funny cat and also mysterious as well he comes and go anytime too you never know when he shows up and leaves I find that character very interesting as well he helps her out some but quote his said is this we’re all mad here. I’m mad your’re mad nice quote after he goes away Alice goes to mad hatter tea party which was silly in my view but funny after that she wants to go home but how is question look like she lost in woods then she cry for about 5 mins unit Cheshire Cat shows up again and tell her to go meet queen before she runs into some one painting the roses red and she joins in as in painting them red this later upset the queen but she then later ask Alice to play a game of croquet or something what a mood change if she don’t she lose her head the queen says that a lot as well just as game is getting good the Cheshire Cat show up and pull up queen dress embarrassing her but then he disappeared very fast after that they go trial over that can of silly but I guess as movie Is getting close to end most of all characters she meet early show up the mad hatter as well then Alice grows huge again and then small then queen says off with her head and then they go after Alice then she heads back to door and then wakes up with both of them leaving for a tea a nice ending.



A very good Alice in wonderland movie from 1951 a few things was little disturbing like oysters getting up a little but otherwise every thing was good pretty good characters as well so happy got to see this movie again here tonight and get review this one next week will be another classic review with another movie I see in theaters as well it is like this but different so looking forward to review that movie find out what it is next week unit then have a good rest of your night.

Spoilers ahead warning



My review


This part 1 of 2 Alice in wonderland movies feature 1910 and 1951 reviews part of classics reviews nights figure I do both tonight since I feel like writing so here is my review of 1910 version due note this only 10 mins since it silent film also I don’t think I see this over 100 year film so let see what it has.


Starts over with title and white rabbit then 2 girls outdoors then rabbit comes along and go down the hole then one of them follow him that Alice yep then she goes down and then drinks a bottle of something probably wine lol whatever it was cause her to get small it pretty cool effects but for a 10 min film it goes bye fast anyway she grows again after eating cake and then starts crying and then wakes up to river a tears maybe she the one cause all this rain we got nah anyway back to film she then gets small again and now has enter the Garden I wonder if they can fit in tea party maybe this version does not have it yet this was the only 2nd Alice film in history so I am reviewing the 2nd Alice in wonderland film ever made which is cool the characters after this is the Duchess, the cook , the baby and the Cheshire Cat odd cat by the way must say costumes look and yes they do put in tea party which is fun part of Alice in wonderland series one of favorite as well but in this one it is very short due to film only being 10 mins this must of been hard back then you did not get lots of time to film so you have to film what you can well after short tea party we are getting close to end which is cards and queen of hearts some one stole her tarts and well isn’t so they go to court really over tarts must of been important.



So anyway they blame Alice for tart stealing and then cards flip around as she wakes up it was just a dream I think that lady was her mom or sister anyway they hug and that end of this 10:47 film must say it was not a bad film for 110 or over 100 years old film. Coming later stay turned the 1951 version review of Alice in wonderland will be up I hope you enjoy this little per bonus of silent film review.



Alice’s adventures in Wonderland (1910) rating 7/10

Starring………….. Emma Watson, Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint



Director……….. David Yates



Synopsis


Harry, Ron and Hermione search for Voldemort’s remaining Horcruxes their effect to destroy the dark Lord as the final battle rages at hogwarts .



Spoilers ahead warning



My Review


This is it the last battle and final review of series went bye fast can’t believe this is the end been a long road of reviews to get here so here we go with the final Harry Potter movie see what I think below.



Movie starts off with a highlight on how first part ending after that logo of movie starts then it shows a shot of snape nice shot of him looking there after that it takes you too where potter at a nice shot of Dobby grave then he goes to talk to goblin from bank and the guy who give his first wand in first movie so Hermione changes into one that killed sirus Helen does so they can go to vault at bank something goes wrong as now they maybe trapped with a monster this is place where next Horcruxes can maybe be found but then goblin turn his back on them and Almost cost them there life’s lucky they got out after that we see goblin that turn his back on him dead he was too greedy that for sure then Harry gets version of dark lord who knows Harry every remember they are connected so might be tough for Harry to control him so they go to dumbdore brother for some info find some as picture of his sister opens here is neville that brings him to rest of gang then after that there a battle between professor and snape good moment but didnt last long as dark lord gives them 1 hour to give him Harry or else all hell goes down this is start of big battle here Harry must find the last Horcruxes and destroy and maybe it will kill dark lord once and for all.



The professor puts a spell that will keep them not sure if it will last as dark lord is attacking it and soon he probably get though and he did no now battle is on let go fight is on now hogwarts is being attacked this test for them after all they learn now will maybe payoff to survive now.



Holy cow a hour in and this amazing stuff what going on Harry found the next Horcruxes and got rid of it but snake is the last one kill the snake kills him forever can of tough to watch there some characters being killed off the one that like ron she was killed same pretty girl after that it goes to dark lord and snape then he kills snape that proves he cares about no one Harry see his death and goes talk to him he tell him to take his tears and Harry does now then dark lord sends a message then one of that scary again. Then Harry goes to see what in snape tears turn out he was friends with Harry mom and there was a plan between dumbdore and snape telling him to me wow turns out snape was not a bad person after all and this was a huge plan it was snape who help Harry out in first part of movie sad ending to snape but he did the right thing he was indeed a hero.



Then Harry goes to forest and golden snitch opens and then Harry goes to dark lord and well gets killed fast so is this end of potter or not well he wakes up somewhere so is this heaven dumbdore Is there as well nice to see them reunite probably for last time they have a good talk and he ask him how he can beat the dark lord he didn’t say too much I think he give him enough to beat and dumbdore left now potter is going to play a game that will think dark lord think potter dead and he not good thing because dark lord force then all to join him Harry does wake up now this is one final battle has started great battle between them but someone needs to step up and kill the snake that will end it and when I see who did it had me cheering this person deserve that glory not going to spoil it, though you have to see from yourself and trust me you’ll be cheering too as well as this mark end of dark lord.



It is now over time to rebuild hogwarts will not be the same with dumbdore and snape so I think Harry time in hogwarts is over so wonder what future brings for all 3 of them well to end it they hope to 19 years later and had a beautiful ending like the book and that it.



Have to say one of best ending to series in my view from start to finish and the one who killed the snake again had me cheering good move to give him the too spot he be remember as hero that save all of them great series this was so out of all them which one I like the best if I had to go in order it will be like this. Number 1 , 2 , 4, and others don’t have time to list them maybe 1 day I will but anyway after see all movies have to say books are still better though but hats off they did good on movies too there a new series coming out of potter series not sure yet if I watch it well that it been fun reviewing the potter movies though good moments and bad moments it been one heck of a ride next week will be moving on from series so unit next have a good rest of your Sunday night.

Warning spoilers ahead



My review


The final 2 Harry Potter movies a 2 day wrap up reviews event start today and ends Sunday with the final Harry Potter movie this has gone by fast so looking forward to wrap it up and in this one you have the gang trying to get rid of Horcruxes once and for All so let get going on part 1 of what I think of next Harry Potter movie.



Movie starts off with after what happen at the end of half blood Prince then after intro it goes too everyone getting ready for what is ahead Harry and odd thing hermione erased them from time II guess odd way to start there then after it goes to a meeting with dark lord and snape Is there as well he says he must get another wand to kill potter this one of creepy villain in movie and book history as well too he is pure evil as you see with first 5 mins killing that women and feeding her to his snake indeed scary that was and yuck.



Then it goes back where Harry look back at his family house for the last time as everyone shows up as moody says everyone needs to look like you so everybody must take juice they do and everyone changes into potter this was a great moment hopefully it works as they take off in the air look like they are attacked in the air bye dark lord gang this off not too good start dark lord and Harry had a small battle in the air look like most of them made it back but some did not as moody was catch in death eaters trap and was killed sad quick ending to that character.



Then later it was revealed dumbdore left crew some interesting gifts the one he used at start sort of light that collects all lights give that too Ron some book to hermione and to Harry a sword and gold snitch as well but only problem is sword is missing.



Then at party a messsge was sent follow a attack they were wrap to another place they were attack in cafe but fighting off bad guys look like they are not safe anywhere so they go back to which I think is Sirus home then dobby shows up good too see that character again remember that teacher lady I hated well she back again I see still hate that character.



Anyway Ron, hermione and Harry use that juice that changed them again this time they go where place that is dark place and guess who wearing the Horcruxes it was evil teacher lucky they grab it now run and get out of there now everyone spot him they were very lucky as they just got out of there safe for now they must find a way to the Destory the Horcruxes but how is question they try everything but does not they better hurry this thing is evil and cause angry and hate fast if wearing it long a long time you can tell ron is wearing it and now angry and a fight between them cause Ron to leave he be back just need to cool off got to feel sorry for Hermione here she miss him Harry try to cheer her up with a dance he is a good friend to her it work a little but not much still wonder when Ron coming back not sure.


Then Harry and Hermione find a clue that leads to place where Harry was Born they meet a old lady at grave who is acting odd careful this maybe be a trap because she not saying much turns out I was right as lady turn into a snake let me guess that dark lord snake sending Harry a message or maybe it was not why would his snake attack Harry if he wanted to kill him his self so I think it may of been a message.



Then when sitting there a deer look to be magic showed up when Harry was sitting there is this a clue it leads to a small lake Harry finds the sword but was attacked under water but Ron returns and pulls him up so now is your chance Harry something happen very weird a huge cloud and then odd things happen good thing ron got the job done and got rid of 1 of them but there still another out there so next clue leads to Luna dad about symbol around his neck Hermione tells story of it from books as Luna father said after that his house was attacked not sure if he was killed or not did not sure but his was destroyed as well.



Then after that Hermione and Gang was attacked then she attacked Harry this was a spell turning Harry face ugly show they won’t figure out it us but they take him to where Luna at but then dobby shows and takes them to safe but evil witch throws a knife while he dobby was time wrap unfortunately he didn’t make it and pass was sad to see him go here after that takes you dumbdore grave as dark lord gets powerful wand of dumbdore this where it ends of part 1 leading up to part 2 good ending there.



Well this was not a bad movie good that important character death at end was tough to watch but cliffhanger at end was amazing as well so indeed like this one as well so get ready after death of potter friend it will mean war from here all out and tomorrow night at same time will be big finale review of last Harry Potter movie for now have a good rest of your Saturday night.

My Review


The 6 movie we are on boy this goes bye fast before I started review next week is start of finale of Harry Potter series so next Saturday and Sunday will be pretty much ending this series on a two night review event May as well will be finale review the final 2 Harry Potter movies and you see what I think anyway here is review of half blood Prince before we get there so here is review on a Sunday night edition was busy on Saturday so moved it Sunday



Movie starts off with people taking pictures of Harry then title shows up then darkness starts to fall things are about get crazy and first few mins then Harry is show at cafe talking to hot women and gets time she gets off no time for this as he see dumbdore and takes his arm and is wrap back in time or it was quick way to get where your going they enter house looking for someone they find him he was a chair turn into a person that one good way hide don’t blame him for what is going on out there that for sure.



They had a nice chat for a bit then dumbdore took Harry to house where everyone was waiting for they no longer kids now they meet again and I think Harry likes Ginny you be see more of that in this one that for sure then takes you snape with bad guys making you think he one of them maybe or maybe not.



Not sure if they will go back hogwarts as lord Voldemort waiting but he does maybe everything will be ok for now he better keep his eye he then gets kick in face on floor by Draco lucky Luna notice he was there she try to fix his nose think it worked though and so back at hogwarts they were warn about what coming then later I think they took a class that shows you how to make love potions Harry pretty much nailed it after that dumbdore show him a memory bye using it and shows dumbdore talking to young lord Voldemort it was very interesting story between them Harry asked if he know what Tom will become and he said no so looking like he may of visiting him one time.



Then after that lavender brown has her eyes on Ron maybe she likes him remember they are teens so there might be a little on who likes who or ends with who.


While that going on a girl who looked possessed or cursed who was doing this was sending a message and trying to get Harry and his friends in trouble and it work a little as they were send back to there rooms.


Then later hermione see Ron kissing another girl and start crying Harry was there to cheer her up yeah more teen drama that for sure then later at dance Harry heard snape talking to Draco so he may knows what he up to but anyone believe him Is the question.



Then a moment between Ginny and Harry Potter look like it but then a flame come which is they were attack probably just trying to send a message it was edge of seat moment as there house burned to ground.



Then after that look like Ron took love potion and then almost got poison again someone sent bottle of something then after that hermione and Lavender fight over Ron enough with drama this Harry Potter not Harry drama all the time that a joke but I do think they over done it a little bit in this one.



After that Harry found out it may of been Draco trying to kill dumbdore not surprised at all never did like him at all his father is evil as well .



Then later the spider from 2nd movie I think has died he was hagid friend got to wonder did he die of age or not is ? It is something then after hagid drinks and well pass out then professor give Harry one of his memory one on what he said to Tom it was a old memory this how his soul went into many parts this how he keep coming back.



Then dumbdore and potter take a place to a cave looking something powerful they find something that powerful dumbdore drinks they find look to be a powerful stone maybe then some ugly looking things attack Harry but lucky dumbdore got his strength back and save Harry that was close one though he still weak though but bad news as lord Voldemort bad guys are now at hogwarts and a big powerful moment that will change character moment it was not Draco but snape should of see that coming I remember watching it in theaters that moment was tough to watch so after this what does potter do now with out him so harry talks to Ron and hermione about going after them himself but she says he not alone in this as eagle fly and that how it ends very powerful .




Well will say a good movie but drama was little bit too much on who like who but that ending with a huge character death by someone who he thought he can trust was huge as well it was not a bad movie but not on my top favorites acting was still good though will say.



Next weekend is the end of Harry Potter series with a 2 night reviews event next weekend so better get rest up got 2 big movies reviews to write next week so unit then have a great rest of your Sunday.
