Labor Day Weekend - Perfect for the Movies! After last week's Hurricane we all needed a rest :)
This morning we watched The Debt.
I really enjoyed this movie. It was an edge of your seat suspense thriller. My son called it "powerful." My heart was racing the entire time. I would recommend this movie to a older crowd. This is not a child friendly film. You need to enjoy having your heart race! Helen Mirren was great but Jessica Chastain as her younger self actually had more screen time, and should be considered the lead not Mirren. Sam Worthington was great (which proves that if Avatar had a decent storyline the acting could have been as good as the special effects). I am going to try to buy a copy of the Hebrew original movie Ha-Hov, to compare.

In the evening I finally took my son to Harry Potter. We have been holding it over his head till he finished his summer reading! Now I must admit I did not see Deathly Hollows part 1, I also did not read the book.
I found Harry Potter intensely boring. I fought to stay awake the entire movie. The first Harry Potter was the only movie I really enjoyed. The first movie had a sweetness about the little kids, this movie was dark and depressing. I would not let young children see it. I would have had nightmares as a kid. They had to have Ron and Harry take off their shirts - just to show they were grown up. If you like Harry Potter - then by all means you should see the conclusion, but if you are not a fan - skip this one.
