Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007)

A great return in the series

[8/10 · 14 July 2007]

After a very bad 4th movie in my opinion, this 5th movie brought my interest back to Harry Potter. At most times very closely following to the book, the movie brings a great life back to the series. The acting improved tremendously, though of course could be improved more (Daniel acted SO much better this time around). The set I couldn't say anymore of, after the 3rd movie modified the set to such a scale it has kept it up perfectly. While the 4th movie cut out a lot of information and scenes, much of which fans wanted, this movie includes most of the key points and included the much awaited Voldemort vs Dumbledore fight in the Ministry. The special effects have been seemingly cranked up a notch since the last time.

I suggest this movie be watched by all Potter fans, especially those who did not like the 4th film.

Digimon: Digital Monsters (1999–2007)

Still above Pokemon

[9/10 · 2 April 2007]

OK, I began watching this before Pokemon, I liked both anime series, however I thought this was way better the Pokemon, why? Because it wasn't quite as predictable. Once the first season or so of Pokemon came through, I saw it being just milked for all it was worth, more Pokémon being added etc.

Digimon, although released a while after Pokemon, had several differences - mainly the evolution and the actual layout of the story.

However like all TV series however good, future seasons become more dragged along and lose the main characters of the first original season.

Still, if I had the choice between watching all Digimon series/movies and playing the games etc. to Pokemon's movies/series and games, Digimon would win.

Norbit (2007)

a great Murphey comedy!

[10/10 · 21 March 2007]

This is one of the best movies I have ever seen. I personally like this movie because of the laughs, thus, it is a comedy. People take stuff from this movie, such as the fat people like Rasputa, too literally and criticise it, but the way I see a movie is on its own. It is full of laughs fun, the audience never stopped laughing in the theatre I was in.

My view - if you love laughing, don't mind a slight ethical bashing in movies (I mean, what is wrong with making fun of people a bit, lots of people flocked to the Passion of Christ or whatever the name of the film was and wasn't that one of the goriest films?) and like Murphey himself, ignore the critics because this movie is for you. If you don't like or have any of the above, then listen to the critics and don't go.

The Suite Life of Zack & Cody (2005–2008)

Great comedy!

[7/10 · 7 July 2006]

Well, since I began watching this show about half a year ago since Disney became a free-view, I keep on going on the channel every day or two to watch it, it is a great show, starring Cole and Dylan Sprouse, great actors who star in some other shows you may be familiar with.

There are a bunch of main characters, most with either weird names or very long names (Such as Estabon's full name - takes him like 10 seconds to say it all).

London Tipton - Stupid, yet funny, rich character who has sometimes no morals.

Maddie Fitzpatrick - Loved by Zack Martin (Dylan), she is the trodden on friend of London, and a good mate of the twins, though she always gets in trouble or blamed for things while London gets away with it.

Mr. Moseby - "Nightmares" is one thing which he has plenty of due to the Twins. Very funny character, Phill Lewis does a good job

Arwin -Very.. freaky character at times, 'specially in the Bowling episode.

There is another character that makes a few appearances - Bob, very funny when he makes face, and very strange with his comments

You'll find yourself laughing at his stupidity almost every episode! To all who see this or hear about it, must see if you enjoy comedy and don't have a laugh=death condition...
