Film Series- Harry Potter

      I really don't think I can fully express my love and adoration for Harry Potter on this blog without it at least 5,000 words, so i'm just going to say this. These films and of course the books are such a big part of me, as sad or weird as that sounds. I can remember seeing Sorcerers or Philosophers Stone for the first time. I was dreading as I walked into the theater for my friends birthday. A movie about a boy wizard just didn't sound appealing to me for some strange reason. By the end I was a converted Potterhead. I feel truly lucky that I have been able to be apart of this phenomenon that people will look back on wishing they were apart of it. There are seven books and eight movies that have given me enough joy and happiness to last a lifetime. Thank you J.K Rowling!

Film Series - Titanic

    It seems like the appropriate timing to write about this film, since has been re-released in (gasp) 3D. Now, I am not ashamed to admit that I adore this movie. I think like most girls my age, I fell madly in love with a younger Leonardo Dicaprio. I mean, how could you not? I now feel comfortable enough to admit that I carried around a picture of Mr. Dicaprio for a couple of months after watching this film.  I must have been 6 or 7 the first time I saw it and I actually had nightmares about sinking ships for 2 months. But what captivated me was the intense and beautiful love story between Jack and Rose, it really is the stuff that fairy tales are made of.
      Watching now however I find myself screaming at the screen, " you idiot! did you really have to jump back onto the sinking ship!" or " Just get on the damn piece of wood Jack! Have you ever heard of balancing?" But nevertheless I still find myself tearing up as she pulls their frozen hands apart and watches him slowly sink to the bottom of the sea. Sorry for the spoiler. No matter what people say about it being a sappy, over exaggerated love story that glorifies the death of thousands, it's still a classic.

     If your not watching this show then you are missing out the on an amazing comedy experience! This show may just be the new Arrested Development. By that I mean that this show is critically acclaimed yet has low ratings. In the world of show biz it is definitely less about substance and material and more about money and sponsorship. Despite having a smaller fanbase than the Jersey Shore and Glee, one thing is for sure, the fans are dedicated and passionate about this show, I should know being one of them myself. It is so refreshing to watch a comedy like this on TV. It is incredibly witty, intelligent, self- deprecating, sentimental, and socially aware. Most importantly it doesn't treat the audience like idiot, unfortunately that seems to be rare in TV today.   Hopefully it won't be joining Freaks and Geeks, Arrested Development and Undeclared on the cancelled before it's time list. I mean how can someone not like a show that has an episode based on Modern Warfare? Really?
