Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 /Rated PG-13/

Synopsis: The final chapter is upon Harry (Daniel Radcliffe), Ron (Rupert Grint), and Hermione (Emma Watson) as they search for He Who Must Not Be Named's three remaining Horcruxes which hold The Dark Lord's final pieces of his soul keeping him immortal. But when The Deathly Hallows begin to become reality and Voldemort becomes aware of Harry Potter's quest, the last battle erupts, and life may never be the same for the world as they know it, and for the trio of life long friends.

I give this movie out of a 1-10 scale a: 9: This movie is actually one of my favorite movies EVER because from years of watching all the movies and reading the books and waiting for the next one to come out. Then after Part 2 their done, I just couldn't believe when I came out of that theater that there would never be another Harry Potter movie again. They've basically been coming out my whole life. I mean in November 2001 the first movie came out. I just couldn't process the thought that there is no more, and I still can't. Although my word of advice, I would read the books first. The movies are amazing, but the books in most cases are always better. The lead actors and actresses Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson in my opinion were perfect matches for the main characters of the worldwide phenomenon written by J.K. Rowling. I'm not a big fan of drama, relationship kind of movies, but in Harry Potter there is a good balance between drama and action in all of the eight films. I also like that in the movies they made sure they included as much of the book as possible instead of other movies that have a completely different plot, a.k.a. Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief. Plus after all the anticipation my dad, my friend, my friends dad, and I all went to see the final movie at midnight which made it even more amazing! So I encourage you to go out and buy Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 on D.V.D. now! Just remember, read the books first!

About the Stars: Daniel Radcliffe: Daniel actually really hasn't done anything else besides Harry Potter because he really never had time to. They just went from one film to the next. And I am almost sure that Daniel Radcliffe will always be known as Harry Potter.

About the Stars: Rupert Grint: As Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert hasn't done anything besides his role of Ron Weasley in all eight movies. Plus Daniel, Emma, and Rupert really don't need to do anything else, considering how wealthy they currently are.

About the Stars: Emma Watson: Emma Watson unlike her cast mates Daniel and Rupert she has done a couple other movies besides Harry Potter. Emma did a kids movie called The Tale of Despereaux where she plays the voice of Princess Pea in 2008. Also Emma will be in a upcoming movie in 2012 called The Perks of Being a Wallflower.

The Muppets /Rated PG/

Synopsis: When the Muppet's number one fan Walter, his "brother" Gary (Jason Segal), and Gary's girlfriend Mary (Amy Adams) find out rich jerk Tex Richman plans to buy Muppet Studios and make millions from the oil under the historic site. Gary, Mary, and Walter set out to reunite the Muppets so they can perform one last show to raise ten million dollars to keep Muppet Studios away from greedy Tex Richman and his henchmen.


Some Special Guest Stars Include: Jack Black, Mickey Rooney, Selena Gomez, Whoopie Goldberg, Neil Patrick Harris, and Rico Rodriguez.


I give this movie out of a 1-10 scale: an 9: This particular movie was an amazing experience for not just me but for my fifteen year old brother, my mom, my dad, and my grandma. (Check out my mom's blog: The Sneathen Family Site at: http://sneathenfamily.blogspot.net/) I gave this movie an 9 because I loved how even though the normal voices for the muppets weren't present, they did a great job of capturing the muppets unique personalities such as Kermit, Fozzie, and Ms. Piggy. I also enjoyed the songs and the classic humor from The Muppet Show and their many movies. Although one of my favorite aspects of the movie was the creative locations of which the former muppets were found. The first clip of the credits could have been left out and it still would have been an amazing film. For all of you who haven't seen the movie, I won't give anything else away. So, if your family is bored and sulking on the couch, have a great time and come out and see The Muppets. Relive your childhood memories of Kermit the Frog and all his pals in this laugh out loud family comedy/musical!

About the Stars: Jason Segal: Surprisingly Jason Segal wrote and starred in The Muppets. Jason has starred many movies including Despicable Me which he played the voice of Vector, he will also be starring as the voice of Vector once again in Despicable Me 2 which will be estimated to come out in 2013. He is also on a popular television program on CBS called How I Met Your Mother, which he works closely with Neil Patrick Harris who is a guest star in The Muppets. Plus Jason Segal has starred in one of my mom's personal favorite movies Forgetting Sarah Marshall, and many many other movies!

About the Stars: Amy Adams: Amy was first noticed when she did the kids movie Enchanted, which led her to being nominated for best supporting actress in 2005, 2008, and in 2010, for the films Junebug, Doubt, and The Fighter. Amy also starred in other movies such as Julie & Julia, Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian, and Underdog where she is the voice of Polly. Like Jason Segal she has been in many television programs like The Office, Dr. Vegas and Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
