REVIEW: “Harry Potter” is great for one part of a two-part film

I’ll jump right into this one; everyone pretty much knows the plot of Harry Potter: a boy and his friends set out to fight Voldemort, the wizard planning on sterilizing England and the world of non-magical people.

Sherlock: Anatomy of a relationship, pt. 1

credit: BBC Just a note–I feel that there will be more Sherlock posts in the near future–I am just that enamored with this show. First, let me start this post off with an apology.

Box Office Battle: “Skyline,” “Morning Glory,” “Unstoppable”

Another week, another BOX OFFICE BATTLE! Let’s which newcomer grossed the most this week. The loser this week is Skyline.
