Where has the Pottermania gone?

Its the Potter season again. The sixth instalment of the Harry Potter series releases this week. One might ask, does one feel the Pottermania this time around? I dont, I'll be honest. Dunno why, maybe coz I've moved on since Harry Potter, maybe coz there are no more new Potter books to keep me busy anymore, maybe coz loads of other cool movies are releasing at the same time, or maybe a combination of all those reasons!

The thing is, most of the actors in the Harry Potter series have acted in other movies/tv shows. Now by doing those, they might have proven themselves to be versatile actors, but to crazy Potter fans (of which I might include myself, although I could well use the term "ex-crazy fan") it has spoiled the "magic" and enchantment of the entire series.

I really dont think this Potter movie is gonna be nearly as successful or as big a BO hit as its predecessors. The potter magic has simply vanished into thin air!

Ice Age 3 - My Review

Image via Wikipedia

Finally got a chance to watch Ice Age 3, Dawn of the Dinosaurs. And here's my review.

Ice Age 3 has all its trademark characters in Ellie, Diego, Manny et al. Plus, loads of new characters have been introduced in this sequel. The movie is outright hilarious. But the thing is, it really doesnt have a solid plot going for it, something which made its first two instalments such a huge hit! There are loads of awesome laugh out loud one liners and the humour is is basically what keeps the movie going. At just about 94 mins, this one's not really a lengthy movie. And thank god it isnt! Coz if it were, the thinning plot would have become only too evident.

A brainless laugh riot in short. I wonder if the makers and producers would consider a fourth sequel coz to be frank, I dont think Ice Age has the same magic any more.
