Will Harry potter and the Half Blood Prince be good enough??

Anyone following the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince news for the past year knows that things have been rocky. Die-hard fans winced as reviews flooded in after the preliminary screenings (particularly one in Chicago), preaching mostly disappointment and negativity. Following the screenings, the November 21, 2008 release date was pushed back to July 17, 2009 and then eventually changed to July 15. With all the speculation and the date changes, fans around the globe have been, understandably, apprehensive.

Make no mistake: hard-core fans are still buying the first tickets, still prickling with anticipation and excitement because at the end of the day, let's face it, hard-core fans would stop at nothing to see this movie. And hopefully they won't be disappointed: initial reviews to date have been overall very positive. Consensus seems to be that David Yates, director Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, has created an exciting and well crafted film. Most of the critics are raving about Bruno Delbonnel’s amazing cinematography, Nicholas Hooper's brilliantly crafted score, Stuart Craig’s imaginative designs, and the performances of Hollywood greats Jim Broadbent, Helena Bonham Carter ,Alan Rickman ,and somewhat surprisingly, youngster Daniel Radcliffe. Apparently DRad has taken what could have been a frivolous family movie and made it into a respectable cinematic experience.

So why are fans – myself included – still nervous? As with all of the previous books, every detail can make or break the movie for an individual who's entered Harry's world as completely as most of us have. And despite this, any good filmmaker knows that every single detail simply cannot be included in a movie adaption of a book. Key plot points have been dropped every movie and there is always a contingent of fans who are appalled. This year will be no different. Horcruxes, Slughorn, romances, potions, Quidditch, and so much more must be included and clearly conveyed within the 153 minutes. How do you build all that up without letting fans down?

Transformers-Revenge of the Fallen

I happened to watch 'Transformers-Revenge of the fallen' on its debut day,and i have mixed feelings on it.Transformers is an extreme summer movie; it's not exactly all action and special effects, but it should be, because the action and effects are spectacular. During its best sequences, it's like watching the most expensive and elaborate fireworks display ever. But the storytelling and relationship stuff is all but unendurable.
The action-chase-battle sequences of Transformers are cutting-edge and undeniably powerful.From the opening chase-and-battle set in Shanghai to a tour-de-force finale that seems to blow up every ancient edifice in Egypt, Bay proves he can deliver on the whoosh-and-wow factor. Best-in-show honors go to one of the Transformers in this movie, the giant Devastator who lumbers up one of the great pyramids and starts eating it.
Another eye catching feature of the movie is Megan Fox,with her porno-doll sultriness, she's like Angelina Jolie before Jolie got too serious to be irresponsibly sexy, and Revenge of the Fallen needs her jovial, flirtatious chemistry with LaBeouf,without her the movie would be too much of a juvenile boys' bash.
Revenge of the Fallen may be a massive overdose of popcorn greased with motor oil. But it knows how to feed your inner 10-year-old's appetite for destruction!.

Random Thoughts and Reflections on Love

How do you define love?

Some say it's mysterious, magical, complex, difficult, imaginary, thought-provoking, inspirational, intuitional, joyous, immeasurable, ecstasy, and undefinable. Perhaps.

"Love is a feeling directed at someone which acknowledges their goodness."

"The willful intent to serve the well being of another."

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. - 1 Corinthians 13:5-7

Paramahansa Yogananda says: "To describe love is very difficult, for the same reason that words cannot fully describe the flavor of an orange. You have to taste the fruit to know its flavor. So with love."

Love itself is a universal experience. Yet, every individual occurrence - while perhaps bound by a common thread - seems absolutely unique. Love is what love is! To everyone it expresses itself differently.

Love is the answer to "all" questions!

It is important to stand in Love, not fall into it.

Love is waking up to find the object of your affection in the dream you were having asleep on your shoulder.

Could it be that Love is a story that can never be fully expressed?

Love is seeing an imperfect person perfectly.

Love is friendship set on fire.

The opposite of Love is fear. Think about it.

Love is a decision.

Love has no meaning other than the meaning "we" give it.

God is love.

Discussion about “Google Releasing Chrome Operating System [Google]”

In a sudden, if not unexpected, announcement this morning, Google said it would release an open-source operating system based on its Chrome browser. The OS will be free, geared (at first) toward netbooks, and focused on "speed, simplicity, and security." Google executives told the New York Times that Google Chrome OS would be available online "later this year" as a free, open-source download, while specially tailored netbooks running the operating system are targeted for the second half of 2010. The release will not be a remixed version of the Android phone platform, but a "minimalist user interface," with more screen space and computer power given over to web applications.
