shoehorn's brooding grounds

i know it's a little childish but i must confess that this past few days i've been about as excited as a 9 year old on christmas morning with not only the release of the latest hp movie, but also the forthcoming resolution to the story in a week's time. never thought i'd be a fanatic, but 6 books and 5 movies later, i fear that's exactly what i've become. heh.

anyway, i caught the movie yesterday evening and i have to say that i didn't enjoy it as much as i thought i would. reason being, this was the first time that i'd read the book before seeing the movie and so nothing came as a surprise. however, as far as second impressions go, after mulling things over for a bit, i feel that the movie was entirely up to par with the others. the perpetual problem with film adaptations of novels, especially long ones is that there will always be a lot that's left out due to time constraints. generally speaking, each movie has done a pretty good job of choosing which parts to include and which to exclude, yet things still felt incomplete this time around. let me just end by suggesting that you read the book. it's really the only remedy.



on another note, i need to watch transformers again. so good.
