Synopsis – The adventures of writer Newt Scamander in New York’s secret community of witches and wizards seventy years before Harry Potter reads his book in school. My Take – Weren’t we all sad when Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 (2011) drew its curtain and ended a franchise running for 10 years. Like me, I am quite sure many Potter fans felt that … Continue reading Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (2016) Review!!!
As a franchise, Harry Potter is somewhat unique. The series opened with two simply unbearable and weightless adventures courtesy of Christopher Columbus, who went for adorable and ended up with two atonal messes that even a big fan of the franchise (such as myself) cannot return to, to this very day. Then, out of nowhere, Alfonso Cuaron came in with Prisoner of Azkaban and created … Continue reading ‘Fantastic Beasts’: David Yates Feels “Committed” to Directing All 5 Films!!

When Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them was first announced, we expected to hear or see some references to the original Harry Potter films.

With four more sequels on the way, we know that Grindelwald will be making a physical appearance, and … Continue reading ‘Fantastic Beasts’ Sequels Are Casting Albus Dumbledore!!!

Honestly, … Continue reading Alice Through the Looking Glass (2016) Review!!
