Book: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
I rate this titleonand give itWhat an extraordinary book! [no spoilers]
I haven't been so gripped with excitement by a book for a loooong time. The climax and summation of all six books is here. A true saga, and with very, very strong love-and-selfsacrifice elements. WOW!

DVD: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
I rate this titleonand give itDramatic, dark, great acting
A great film. Radcliffe's acting is quite excellent. There are two main themes - the true evil of the Death Eaters and the madness of the Ministry and its employees denying the fact that the evil had ...

DVD: Evan Almighty
I rate this titleonand give itA good, friendly 'green' message
Very amusing, clever take on the Noah tale. As a devout Christian, there is little to be offended here, and a lot to cheer about. Baddies are routed and there is a good pro-nature, pro-environment, ...

DVD: Knocked Up
I rate this titleiffyand give itGood mesages about unprotected sex, but most characters are very "sad"
Sex without a condom can have consequences! - what a revolutionary idea. ...To most of the teens in the movie, they are clueless about anything except cannabis and watching porn. The hero finds out ...

Book: Stormbreaker (Alex Rider Adventures, Book 1)
I rate this titleonand give itCool stuff for teens
My daughter and I are Brits now living in - and loving! - the US. These books are written by Anthony Horowitz, a prolific and very talented serious drama writer for British TV. However he makes time ...

Book: The Giver
I rate this titleonand give itSerious, disturbing, deeply philosophical
Wow! This book is just too short to fully explore the deeply disturbing society the author creates. She has described a society of totally controlled human beings, with no color, nature or ...

DVD: The Incredibles
I rate this titleonand give itMarvelous and dazzling
What an amazing film! It is a full two hours' worth of excitement, laughs, surprises and wonderful characters. Hidden away by the government for causing too many liability issues, Mr. Incredible and ...

DVD: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
I rate this titleonand give itStunning direction
The third HP book was the strongest plot to date and in many ways is the very finest story. Much more atmospheric and emotional direction in this film matches the book's mood perfectly. The effects ...
