Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009)
Think of it as a first part of a trilogy
You gotta think of this as a first part of a trilogy. Things are starting to get to the final conclusion of the story. If you've read the final book, you enjoy the movie better knowing what is coming in the final two movies. If you haven't you feel like there is so much left out, but it's all in the final book. I do think that instead of the attack on the burrow, they could've had the attack on hogwarts giving some more time to Neville and Luna and what they end up doing in the final book, particularly Neville. One more very important thing they leave out, is one very important memory that gives Harry the clue to finding the final horcruxes in the last book, this was taken out and is very important to what they do in the future. Also, the kiss was totally lame. Harry was the one supposed to take initiative, not Ginny. Anyway, if you haven't read the last book, don't worry, everything SHOULD be explained in the final two films, so think of it as a first part of a trilogy and you might enjoy the movie more. If you read the final book after watching the movie, things will make sense.
La gran final (2006)
three stories that show the world's passion for the most beautiful sport
I went to see this movie after reading a couple of articles on it, and because this is a world cup year. The movie is really funny, it shows three different tribes from three different continents who live almost in exile from the "modern world" and how they stop their normal everyday routine for 90 minutes, to see two countries compete for the ultimate prize in sports, and probably the most important prize any country could aspire for, the FIFA World Cup of football. I love football, I've played it all my life, and I eagerly wait for the next World Cup even before the current one is being played. For those who don't know anything about football (or soccer, if you're from the states) you will still enjoy this movie because it's not about the sport, it's about the passion for the sport. It's amazing that for one month every four years, the world literally stops. Beer consumption goes up about 200% and for the two hours of the final, there are hardly any, if none at all, crimes committed. If you are a football fan, watch this movie, and you will understand the motivation that drives the characters. If you are not a football fan, you'll still enjoy the situations the characters get themselves into, but know this, it's not exaggerated at all, in fact, the movie was based on something that really happened to the director of the movie while shooting a documentary. It's a very original movie, and I really couldn't compare it to anything else, but if I had to mention a similar movie, I would have to say that it's a little like "The Gods Must be Crazy". So trust me, watch this film, preferably before June 9, and enjoy the World Cup this summer, remember its only for a month every 48 months.
