movie review - Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2011.08.15

Sadly, the ground broken with the previous Harry Potter movies is forgotten in this confused mess. I feel like I needed to have read the book to understand this thing, and because I didn't -- and won't -- I guess I never will. I honestly don't feel like I'm missing much. I mean, there's a lot of time with this or that teen falling in love or being jealous or envious. I mean .. a lot. I felt like it wasn't necessary for me as a forty-year-old to see this.

Not recommended.

I like my buddies from west Texas. I liked them when I was young, I liked them when I was middle-age, I liked them before I was president, and I like them during president, and I like them after president.
