The Sunmakers
Quite a nice little runaround really, lots of drama and character interplay to keep things ticking along and interesting at the same time. It doesn't feel too long or too short either and there's no lagging in the middle of the episodes so all in all it's a nice little gem of a story about corporate exploitation, social stratification, revolution and the writer having a go at the system about his tax bill.

The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest
The conclusion to the trilogy is just as downbeat as the previous 2 installments and yet there's a satisfaction to the completion, that one a journey completed and another one yet to come, alas I doubt we'll ever see that direction that road might go in.

The Girl Who Played With Fire
I didn't think anything could top the bleakness of Dragon Tattoo but PWF is such a dark meat grinder of a bloodbath, I'm not sure that even the 7th Doctor suffered as much in a Kate Orman novel as Lizbeth did in this film!
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
Well that was a cheery film ;) A rather harsh and brutal story really with lots of harshness and brutality all around.

watching Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1
on DVD, can't wait until Part 2 is released, I'll get the DVD version to round off my collection as I hate it when collections don't match become someone has the bright idea of changing the cover design partway through a run, a plague of boils upon all such folk where it hurts them the most!

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2
And so it ends, from a dark and dreary day in November 2001 to a dark and cold night in July 2011 the final film in the saga concludes a journey taken along with so many others. For me it was a happy and sad event, happy because I feel a part of something special that doesn't happy very often at all, sad because after it being a part of my life for a decade it's now over. There will be other films, other books, other things but nothing I feel will quite capture the imagination and interest of the entire world quite like the small boy who lived under the stairs and went on to become the saviour of humanity. The books will live on and become timeless classics and perhaps one day someone will remake the films, for a new generation but these movies are our Harry Potter, we must treasure them and mourn their passing for we will never again have the feeling of waiting for the release of the next part of the series. To future generations who one day will await with expectation the release of their Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone I say this: enjoy it, you're on for the ride of a lifetime.
