Harry Potter and the Half-baked Prince
Advantages: Special effects, Helena Bonham Carter (for 5 minutes)
Disadvantages: Long, boring, Emma Watson, predictable.
...the direction is pedestrian but the musical score isn’t bad. More than anything else, though, is that it’s long and it’s boring. If you’re a Harry Potter fan you’ll love it. If you aren’t, you won’t. My rating: 3/10 This review also posted on Dooyoo ...

Going Ape
Advantages: Very good make-up and costumes, great twist at the end
Disadvantages: Not a film to be watched over and over
Planet of the Apes is a re-make of a previous film by the same name. I had only seen bits of the original film and I thought I knew what the story line was but with this remake it had been altered and brought up to date. The acting is pretty good, but it's hard to really enjoy it when you know in the back of your head that it's just actors and actresses prancing about in costume, but if you can look past that, the film can be enjoyable. I have watched ...
...and crash land on a planet occupied by Apes. Apes that hunt and capture human to sell them in an evil slave trade.

And this is was where the standards slipped
Advantages: Performances, music.
Disadvantages: Storyline.
The fifth Harry Potter film...the effects got better, the performances are amazing but the storyline isn't that brilliant. The pressure of making the Harry Potter films better and better is immense, but it didn't work that well this time.
Story
The film starts off in Little Whinging. Harry is in a park when his cousin Dudley comes across with his mates to tease Harry about numerous things, including his parents. The atmosphere goes from ...
...mates take off, leaving Harry and Dudley in the park. As the rain comes, the take shelter in the underpass when they are confronted by the Dementors. They perform the "Dementors Kiss" on Dudley and Harry tries to fight them off with the "Expecto Patronum" charm. Just as the second dementor turns to Harry, they disappear when an old lady enters the underpass. She also lives on Privet Drive, and Dumbeldore had asked her to watch out for Harry. She ...

I will be back!!!
Advantages: Good special effect and good plot
Disadvantages: NA
...we would expect in the Terminator Saga, probably not too much surprises for fans. For people new to the series, it's proably a new story or a different way to understand the plot from a different angle. It brings together the ideas from the first three installments and brings us a new story. This is the only one so far without the real Arnie, not taking into account the rebot Arnie in the movie!! I also like the way they explain John's personal struggle ...
...not too much to see from Christian, apart from him repeating the famous " I will be back" phrase. On the contrary, I think Sam Worthington(Marcus) did a good job in expressing his emotion as a half human and half machine. Apparently, they will be two more in the series and I am looking forward to them, to see the "ultimate salvation"!! ...

Interesting Sequel… Complete With CG Schwarzenegger
Advantages: Entertaining - good story - great special-effects.
Disadvantages: Colour is a bit bland - a few continuity problems caught on tape.
...the addition of a humongous Terminator that could not only transform into an aircraft, but also possessed removable motor-cycle ‘attachments’ with machine guns that could be deployed in order to hunt down humans. More than once I felt like I was watching a ‘Transformers’ movie. While I liked both ‘Transformers’ movies, I didn’t much care for the ‘Terminator’ version of a 3-in-1 robot. Also, when the motorcycle attachments are deployed and come off ...
...(character appears as girlfriend in Terminator 3) is expecting their first child - Cameron the lovable Terminator is missing, but then again, Cameron might still come along in yet another sequel because the Terminators in this movie are not as technologically advanced as Cameron, however, the inconsistency remains in the fact that there was never any mention made in the television series about John being married or having a child. The inconsistencies ...
