Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005)
I didn't think it was great
I went to see this movie this afternoon and to be honest i was expecting disappointment as happened with the other three potter movies but i wasn't quite expecting what i saw. I am a lover of the books and have read them all many (10+) times (ex HBP) and hate it when important bits of the plot are cut. I think in terms of effects and general film making the film was good, the acting from the majority of the cast was also excellent, however i feel that the movie moved too fast and didn't really explain what was going on. If you've seen the trailer you have pretty much seen the movie. Much of the Plot involving Rita skeeter was cut (i think we only saw her twice) which i find very disappointing as it sets up the fifth book and the "harry is crazy, look at what was said about him in the prophet last year" plot. One surprise for me though was Mad-eye-moody, after seeing the trailers and photos i was dreading him being played as a joke character with his mad eye but i was very impressed with his character and performance although i did notice the lack of CONSTANT VILIGANCE. Overall i think this movie could be used as a 'look what i can do with my computer' movie. In my opinion if you want a good plot and more than one comprehenseable storyline you should go read the book.
White Noise (2005)
Good but a bit confusing.
When i went to the cinema i intended to see a different film but arrived there late and I'm glad i did because i got to watch this instead. I went in knowing nothing about the film and enjoyed it all the way through even if i didn't always understand what was happening. The film is about a man receiving messages from his dead wife through the fuzzy sound that appears on t.v. or radio. There are some moments in the film that are jumpy (even made me jump once and i don't usually do that) but most of the horror in built up using suspense. I was a bit confused at what happened at the end but both my friends who watched the movie with me seemed to understand so it was probably just me that missed something.
*SPOILER ALERT* The worst part of the movie for me was the classic horror movie symptom where the killer is not a character that is actually part of the story, just a character that says three words earlier in the film and were all supposed to remember.
