So Long Harry Potter!

I finally finished Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows over the weekend and I'm feeling a little bittersweet. I absolutely loved the novel!! Best one of the series. However, I'm also feeling melancholy over the end of the saga. For the past 10 years I've laughed, cried, sulked, pitied, worried, loved and bled(got a papercut turning a page) with Harry Potter. Now, it's all over. I hear that J.K. Rowling is working on a detective novel. I wonder if it's about a detective who uses magic to solve crimes? Oh well. The books may be done but at least there are still 2 more mediocre movies coming out I can look forward to.

I also saw a couple of movies last week.

Stardust-Fairy tale fun!!

High School Musical 2-Guilty pleasure.

Superbad topped the box office this weekend. Glad people went to see this hilarious film. I was worried it might not do well at the box office and get word of mouth cult status. The film makers deserve to be financially rewarded for this gem so that the studios will support them in future projects. The only drawback is that the studios will be churning out mediocre copycat movies in the hopes of slipstreaming on Superbad's financial success. I can see the pitches now:

Superweeds-Two nerdy high school students go in pursuit of chronic to impress hemp wearing babes.

Supershrooms-Two nerdy high school students search cow fields in pursuit of peyote and hot cherokee babes.

Superblow-Two nerdy high school students go in pursuit of cocaine to impress Lindsay Lohan.

Hmmm. That last movie could work.
