Name: Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
Staring: Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint
Directed by: David Yates
Rating: PG
Running Time: 153 minutes
My Rating: 5.7/10 (and I'm being VERY generous)
Plot: It's Harry Potter's 6th year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The Death-Eaters havebeen attacking both the Muggle and Wizarding worlds. During the summer, the Dark Lord Voldemort has given Draco Malfoy an assignment; one that he cannot do himself. With that, Draco's mother looks for help... The sixth movie installment of the series includes action, suspense, and even romance..and snogging.
I have seen all of the Harry Potter movies, and this is in close second for the worst (with the third taking the cake). It has some minor changes, that really only the book readers would realize, but me being one of those people, it bothered me. I don't recommend seeing it in theaters, but you should rent it to be on track for the 7th movie!

Julie & Julia
Name: Julie & Julia
Starring: Meryl Streep and Amy Adams
Directed by: Nora Ephron
Rating: PG-13
Running Time: 123 minutes
My Rating: 9.4/10
Plot: Julie & Julia tells the story of two women: Julie Powell (Adams), a 29-year-old woman who is tired of her job, and Julia Child (Streep), one of the most influential chefs of all time, and the creator of the food television show craze. The movie switches off between Powell's story and Child's story. Julie Powell is tired of her job, and has worked hard to try and get her books published, but none of them have gotten published, so she begins a blog about all the recipes in Julia Child's cookbook, Mastering the Art of French Cooking, which she decides she wants to finish in a years time. Streep portrays Julia Child's life, from when she moves to Paris with her husband, learning how to cook, and getting her book, Mastering the Art of French Cooking, published.
Meryl Streep was absolutely AMAZING. I will be very surprised is she doesn't get an Oscar for her portrayal of Child. This movie was DEFIANTLY worth the time. A must see!

First Post: (500) Days of Summer
Movie: (500) Days of Summer
Starring: Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel
Directed by: Marc Webb
Rating: PG-13
Running Time: 95 minutes
My Rating: 7.8/10
Plot (No, I wont spoil the movie): (500) Days of Summer is in a non-chronological format, consisting of 500 days. The movie is about Tom, a greeting card designer, who immediately falls for his boss's new assistant, Summer. The 500 days go through the ups and downs of their relationship, in non-chronological order, to tell the story better.
Overall, a good movie, and it was, honestly, better then I expected. The movie has a great soundtrack, too. It was worth the money, and the time, but be sure to bring some tissues!
