Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004)
Not Nearly Up to Par
I'm a big fan of the Harry Potter series, and have read all the books several times, up until the sixth, (July 16, 2005) and this movie was for the most part, trash. It left out highly important plot keys like who Moony Wormtail Padfoot and Prongs are, how important it was that Harry's Patronus takes the shape of a Stag. The back story it lacks is highly important to the books, and if they talk about time constraint, then what about that scene where Harry rides Buckbeak the hippogriff for five minutes? The CGI is amazing but I think it would have been a lot better had they kept the back story in. The worst part of this movie is the Shrunken head, who is just down right annoying. He wasn't even in the books but added him for some reason, unknown to us all. So if you want to know what happens to Harry in his third year at Hogwarts, skip the movie, and go buy the book. It costs just as much and is much more worth it.
Nirvana: With the Lights Out (2004)
Real Fans
This is a great DVD and a must have for serious Nirvana fans. This DVD like the rest of the box set wasn't presented to allow new fans to break into Nirvana, but instead give us older fans something more to appreciate. Though the sound quality on most of the tracks (most notably 1-9) is horrible, this DVD is still put together nicely and is loved by plenty of serious Nirvana fans. Unfortenetly it is missing a lot of footage, like their music Video's and some other live performances. But for what we've been waiting for since 1996, this is incredible.
It does include the Sub Pop music video for In Bloom which was nice to see on a DVD but has been traded and downloaded by collectors and fans for along time now. The Rio Sessions featuring Seasons in the Sun is a nice finisher for the DVD showing them in the studio working. It was also nice to see Dale Crover and Jason Evermen appear on this DVD. So stop reading this and go buy it already!
