Potter Time is only a few weeks away

Half Blood Prince is coming and apparently it's going to be worth the wait. Here's one of the first reviews out:


"... the Potter loving beast in me has been unleashed after having witnessed a film that was not only exquisite in its production values, but was also charming, funny, scary, enchanting, moving (stop me, the adjectives could go on and on) and dare I say, sexy. Brilliantly directed by David Yates (he directed 2007's "Harry Potter and the Order of The Phoenix"), "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" is a tour-de-force that combines style and substance, special effects and heart and most importantly great performances from all of the actors young and not-so-young. Not only that, half-way through I'm thinking the unthinkable - "ten academy awards nominations are available this year, hmm I wonder...."

It's certainly not my favorite book but this has me looking forward to this quite a bit more.

Also filming on Deathly Hallows Part 1 and 2 are well into filming. The picture above is taken from the filming at the Ministry.

Can Tim Burton do anything wrong?

USA Today released these images from Tim Burton's upcoming Alice in Wonderland coming March 2010. However, the plot is a lot different than people were expecting:

The traditional tale has been freshened with a blast of girl power, courtesy of writer Linda Woolverton (Beauty and the Beast). Alice, 17, attends a party at a Victorian estate only to find she is about to be proposed to in front of hundreds of snooty society types. Off she runs, following a white rabbit into a hole and ending up in Wonderland, a place she visited 10 years before yet doesn't remember.

So it's a sequel basically. Fine with me. In addition to the three you see below (Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter [LOVE HER], and Anne Hathaway) it also stars Michael Sheen, Mia Wasikowska, Matt Lucas, Crispin Glover, Stephen Fry and Alan Rickman.
