I would not usually consider myself one to be excited for a movie about Marilyn Monroe, but this initial trailer has me quite interested in seeing this film. The trailer boasts a wonderful cast lead by the gorgeous Michelle Williams, the seasoned vets Judi Dench and Kenneth Branagh, Hermione Granger aka Emma Watson, and the up and comer Eddie Redmayne (The Good Shepard). Even hearing about the film early I was not really sold. But after seeing this first trailer, you can tell that Marilyn Monroe had ten carloads of baggage, and I’d like to know more.
Matt’s Review: ‘Deathly Hallows’ Has It’s Successes- and Failures
Posted by: | Comments
GRADE: B+
How to start this review of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1? Of course I am a die hard Potter fan, a ‘Potter Purist’ if you will. I have enjoyed all the movies, but the literature is really where the heart of this series lies. J.K. Rowling has a gift for painting a picture, giving characters a pure heart or one of menace, and is especially skilled at creating a whole entire new world. Being a Potter purist, I have a devotion to the books. But as a fan, I really enjoyed the Deathly Hallows movie. Having seen the movie twice now, I think my take on the film is set in stone, and this review was well thought out.
This Deathly Hallows review is long, elaborate, and will sometimes play the comparing movie to book game. I find it necessary sometimes to get my point across, not to say the movie should be exactly like the book. That said, my grade for Deathly Hallows would probably be a lot lower if I wasn’t a Potter fan who read the books and didn’t know what was really going on overall. But because I have read the books many times, the Deathly Hallows movie made sense to me. Without this background knowledge, I am not sure how well I would have been able to enjoy the way this epic story was told for the screen.

Probably not. But when she posted a picture on her website a few days ago showing off her recently super short new hairdo, the gossip rags went k-a-raazy speculating that she did so because she intended to audition for David Fincher’s American remake of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo; which is of course based on the original Swedish film from last year, which is of course based on the worldwide book series phenomenon. More on that Dragon Tattoo after the break, but first…
