So I went to see The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug today and I quite liked it.

So, I finally got around to watching Fiddler on the Roof, one of many on my list of classic movies that, for whatever reason, I haven't seen yet. I must say I liked it, the music, the struggles of the characters and while not a cheery outcome, it was interesting to see the progression of Tevye through the story.

Just got back from seeing Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2. I certainly liked it better than part 1. While I already knew of assorted deaths via random spoilers etc, it was still enjoyable and had a few surprises (since I haven't read the book). I will read it eventually, as I'm sure there were lots of moments that were written of more ( Read more... )
