Here's the trailer for Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince! In HD.

Saw The Dark Knight. It isn't Dark. It's Bleak. And Brutal. And probably a half hour too long.

It sure as hell ain't Iron Man. In fact, it's not like any "superhero" or "comic book" movie I've ever seen. It's more like Dirty Harry meets Seven but with cooler toys and better dialogue coaches ( Read more... )
