Side Notes: Pitch Perfect

I wasn't really sure what type of movie this was going to be, a Glee-esque tribute to all things "show choir" or something actually funny and entertaining. I have had a few people quote the movie and say it was good but I wasn't 100% sure of their choices is movies overall.. But..

Turns out it was the latter!  I think Rebel Wilson is underappreciated. She didn't have a huge part in the film but when she was there she was pretty frickin hilarious! I read somewhere too that most of her lines were ad-libbed and she would sometimes go off for like 20 minutes and have the cast in stitches. Very refreshing to see someone be actually funny and not have to resort to really cheap humor. Now, there were some uh.. explosive scenes if you will and honestly I cannot stand to see someone vomit in movies, it's such a killer for me, but I sort of forgave it on this movie since they pretty much needed it as the story line.

Anna Kendrick has a great voice and very good with comedic timing so overall I thought this movie as pretty good. I was entertained and well I do have a bit of a soft spot for people that can sing well. Sometimes they aren't given a very good vehicle but the bus had a full tank for this cast.  ;-)

Side Notes: Harry Potter Series - In Progress!

So I'm finally joining the party and finished reading the entire Harry Potter series and I loved them! I can absolutely see why everyone has been very much involved with these books. I find that it isn't really "childish" either. There are a lot of adult situations that Harry has to deal with at a young age and I think that can transcend any age group.

Now, what does this have to do with movies? Well..  I am watching the movies now! I will put up a more detailed post later regarding the films mainly because I do think they deserve it, and the Deathly Hallows (Part 2) is on the IMDb list!
