Dark Knight Rises Teaser Trailer
Jul 18th
Morning all,
If you’re in Toronto then you’ll understand why I think today’s weather is absolutely disgusting. Okay, humidity rant over and on to bigger and better things. So I went out and caught the last installment of the Harry Potter franchise this Saturday and before anyone jumps through the window pounds me into a horrible submission with their wands and lightning bolted foreheads, understand that I’m not the biggest Potter fan out there.
My one word review? Meh….
Fortunately there was something great that occurred before the feature – that being the very first teaser trailer for Christopher Nolan‘s Batman: Dark Knight Rises. Without going into a shot-by-shot breakdown More >
Been To Hogwarts And Back
May 30th
Morning all,
This time I’ve got a valid excuse for not being around for a while. I’ve actually been on vacation! Last week the GF and I flew down to Orlando Florida to take in the sun, the experience of Universal Studios and the brand new Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Needless to say, it was spectacular. A few highlights? Okay then:
Went to Bubba Gump Shrimp, you know, the shrimp’n boat company from Forrest Gump. Well it turns out the restaurant chain actually existed before the movie, but since Ton Hanks ate a box of chocolates it’s really taken off. That, and Bubba More >
Embarking Soon
May 19th
Going to throw a bit of a twist into today’s post because it is time for a much needed celebration. And by celebration, I mean vacation. Phew. It’s been a tough few months in the last little while, but for those of you aren’t already aware,
I’m Taking My Talents To South Beach
Kind of. Okay, seriously though, I’m headed out of town for a little while but I’ll be back in due time. The GF and I will be testing our magical skills in Orlando as we’ll be visiting Hogwarts. That’s right. After that it’s a quick trip up to More >

The latest trailer for the second to last movie from the Harry Potter movie series (Deathly Hollows Part 1) was released last evening. Have a look. Drool at the visuals. Smile at the characters you grew up with. Hope that someone invents a time machine so you can jump ahead a couple of months and watch this in the theatres. To 3D or not to 3D? Probably not even though it could be amazing.
Deathly HAllows Trailer
Jun 7th
Among a ton of other little hints of entertainment gems dropped last night at the 2010 MTV Movie Awards was this trailer for the latest in the Harry Potter franchise. As many of you are aware, the final book is actually being split into two films. This is the trailer for the first. A longer, more seductive trailer was dropped a few months ago, but in true MTV Movie Award fashion, last night gave us a few new scenes and a little more depth as to what we can expect to see. With the exception of the second film, the Harry Potter series More >
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter Takes Theme Park Rides To The Next Level
Jan 26th
I’m kind of a roller coaster nutcase. I’ve done the specific trips to places like Magic Mountain and Disney World just to spend 3 hours in line for a 30 second rush. I’ve been to quite a few theme parks in my time so I would consider myself at least knowledgeable on the subject, so when I say that this brand new Harry Potter ride/thing at Universal Studios Florida looks completely off the chains, you don’t have to take it with any grains of salt.
Officially branded The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, the Universal Studios Resort in Florida has pretty much created Hogwarts for people More >
Slightly Disappointed With Summer 09 Movies So Far
Jul 12th
I have to admit, I’m not totally sold on all of the flicks that have come out this summer. Last night I popped out and watched Bruno expecting it to steal some of the laughter that other summer movies have failed to garner, but I guess it just wasnt’ meant to be. So far my plate has consisted of:
Transformers 2 – lame
Public Enemies – long
Bruno – too much genetalia
Terminator Salvation – McG didn’t get it
On the other hand, there have been three flicks that I would recommend to anyone and everyone.
Up! – Amazing
Star Trek – Wonderful Entertainment
Hangover – 2009 Hit
So basically what I’m saying is that the success More >
