Should I watch "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince"?
I'm a huge fan of the books, but I was disappointed by the other movies, especially the "Order of the Phoenix". The movies aren't bad as such, but I tend to compare them too much to the books. Of course, I should see them a bit more separately I guess...
What do YOU think? Is the "Half Blood Prince" movie definitely better than the others or will I be too disappointed because it leaves out too many important parts of the book?


you will be disappointed they do leave out a lot of the book but peoples idea of important part of any book is different .I like to read the books and then watch the movies

No just read the book again! Films are a big let down compared to books!
Gemma | Feb 02, 2010


I watched it the other night and felt it was more authentic to the book than, say, OOTP.
Avondrow | Feb 02, 2010


Hi, I would recommend you wait to watch the film. It ends rather suddenly and I think it would be better to watch when the next film comes out so you see them together.
I don't personally think this film is any better than the others, that's just my opinion.
Enjoy the book again rather than watching the film.
Kerrie S | Feb 02, 2010


you should but rent it when it comes out(idk if it is) i haven t saw them. If you have a redbox machine by you get it. read the book then see the movie and try to get the differences. i problay woud have fliped a coin or somting
Chuck | Feb 02, 2010


na its useless to watch the movie!!!
Arzoo J | Feb 02, 2010


Here's what you should do:

First, take off your clothes.

Then, flip a quarter high in the air. Watch where it lands, but DON'T LOOK AT IT.

Then, sit on it. Hard.

And with your a*s, feel if the coin is Head's Up or Tails Up.

Heads - you watch the movie. Tails - you watch 27 Dresses.

Now see how easy that was. And it didn't take any thinking - just letting your a*s make the decision for you!

If you can't separate them in your mind, don't bother... because then you'll just go around complaining about how it didn't live up to your standards. Nobody wants that.

Cinematically, it was fantastic. I'm a huge, and I recommend it, but not because it relates closely to the book. Since when do movies have to be exactly like the books to be acceptable? Half of the movie would be boring a heck if we were stuck watching Harry look at Voldemort's past. Only hardcore fans would want that. The movies are just based on the books; the books aren't used as manuscripts for them or anything.
WhichToBury | Feb 02, 2010


Personally if you have just read HP6 I would wait a couple of weeks for the story to sink in so as not to ruin the film; but i would definitely recommend watching the film, even if its at a later date! I read the third book about a week or so before the film came out and it ruined it a bit for me, so now I think that the third film isn't too good!!!
I hope this helps!!
Rach | Feb 04, 2010


I think avid readers of the books will always be disappointed by the films. They do leave bits out, the acting isn't exactly fantastic in parts, and it's never going to match the images and characters you've created in your head. However, I find that the films do really manage to create amazing atmospheres, and Half Blood Prince is definitely a good example of that. Go see it. If you accept that it won't be as good as the book and that it's different, you'lll still be able to seperate the two and enjoy them as seperate things.

what is the make/name of the motorbike(with sidecar) in indiana jones and the last crusade?


It was a Dnepr MT 11

http://www.imcdb.org/images/078/946.jpg

The German army may have used Urals or BMW's but it was a film and they used the Dnepr and the chase bikes were Honda XL500 S adapted for the movie.

Fing' | Sep 20, 2009


I believe the German army used BMW motorcycle's.
mike p | Sep 20, 2009


It was meant to be a Zundapp or BMW but they couldn't find anyone willing to wreck their wartime classic outfit so they used a Ural - which is a direct descendant and looks pretty much the same, especially from a distance - upside down!!

It's a mystery/suspense novel, originally written in Swedish, by a now deceased journalist/author. The English translation is quite good. It was definitley written for adults. (Oh, and the original title in Swedish was actually MEN WHO HATE WOMEN.

How long did you swaddle your baby?
My lil guy is 3 1/2 months old. He gets swaddled at night and for some naps during the day. He sleeps so much longer with the swaddle (hours) opposed to not swaddling (20 minutes or so). They seem to comfort him and he is less cranky from lack of sleep. My hubby and I use the Kiddopotamus brand swaddles with the velcro closures that stay very well together. We just got him a couple bigger ones (14-22lb ones). He can pull his arms out, so we just swaddle him below his arms. If you swaddled your lil one, how long did you do that for? Did you transition to a sleep sack? Thank you! Just curious :)


I think I stopped swaddling my daughter around 4 months - she started hating being swaddled and liked having her arms free. It did affect how long she slept for - but her naps have just gotten shorter as she's gotten older anyway, lol :) .

What movie that hasn't had a DVD release yet would you like to see get one?
Any movie that you would like to see get released to DVD or blu-ray that haven't yet? For me it's Hide And Go Shriek, a slasher movie from the 80's that I've never seen but want to. Also, I think Halloween II from 1981 should get a special edition.


Made in Heaven (1987) with Timothy Hutton and Kelly McGillis. I love this movie SO much, and my old VHS copy is wearing out. I have searched for it on DVD to no avail.

IMDB rating: 6.50

Plot: A modern-day Frank Capra story. Jack Campbell, a successful and talented businessman, is happily living his single life. He has everything, or so he thinks. One day he wakes up in a new life where he didn't leave his college girlfriend for a London trip. He's married to Kate, lives in Jersey and has two kids. He, of course, desperately wants his life back for which he has worked 13 years for. He's president of P. K. Lassiter Investment House and not a tire salesman at Big Ed's. He drives a Ferrari and not a mini-van that never starts. And most importantly he doesn't wake up in the morning with kids jumping on the bed. After a bad start, day by day he's more confident in his new life and starts to see what he's been missing. Turns out money's good to have but that's not everything.

Does anybody know the name of this book?
I read this book a while ago about a woman and man who had a child that came out as like a demon-thing. The dad loved it but it made the mom sick. She left, but the husband followed years later (as he had a traveling carnival) and found she had a new family and all, and the "son" was a murderer. He disemboweled this boy. Sorry if the details are a bit all over the place, but I can't remember the author or the book and it's driving me crazy!
