How Harry Potter Went Out With A Fizz(l)ing Whizbee

How Harry Potter Went Out With A Fizz(l)ing Whizbee

In 1999 I graduated from elementary school, and spent the following summer dreading my upcoming year in 6th grade. Two years previously I had moved from North Dakota, land of praries and bison, to North Carolina, and it was as if I were in another world. I had changed much over those two years, morphing from the class clown to the reserved, shy Norwegian I am today, and was not looking forward to middle school in the slightest. I had heard many tales about how much more difficult school would be, and was wary of the change to moving classrooms when switching subjects.

Why You Should See The Green Lantern

Why You Should See The Green Lantern

The Green Lantern came out today, and being the good comic book fan that I am, I went to the first showing I could. Mind you, I went as a comic book fan, not as a Green Lantern fan. I haven’t had the pleasure of reading the series, apart from a few of the comics from the Blackest Night event.

Avatar Review: Haven’t We Seen This Before?

All right, so here’s my first film review of any significant length. Now, usually when I see a movie I tend to say very little other than whether I liked it or not. Since I tend to like everything I see, I don’t end up saying much. Here I’ll be doing things a bit different. However, there are a few things that you shouldn’t expect out of a typical review from TandyQ (haha, rhyming). First off, I don’t do any kind of letter or scoring system. If I think you should see a film, then I’ll say it. If I think you should run away from it screaming then I’ll say that. That’s what you need to know. Secondly, don’t expect any kind of synopsis of the story from me. I’m not that great at summarizing stories and who knows what people do or don’t want to know about a storyline before they see a film. Things can get messy, so if you’re looking for info about a given film’s storyline you’re in the wrong place. Anyway, sit back and enjoy my review of the film Avatar.
