Weekend Agenda

Lightning Strikes

It's only Thursday morning, but thanks to a "flexible schedule," my thoughts are turning toward the weekend--and toward finally seeing the third Harry Potter movie. Can the hype be true? Early reviews indicate that Alfonso Cuaron (of Y Tu Mama Tambien fame) has brought an adult touch to the film, with details like the one mentioned in the first paragraph of the linked article showing the ways that our heroes are growing up and a darkness that makes the third film more exciting and action-packed than the first two. Something tells me this isn't going to be the feel-good romp that the first movie was, but I anticipate leaving the theater more thrilled than by either of the first two films. It sounds like someone has finally captured the breathless feeling of reading the books and translated it to the screen, and that should make for a memorable weekend indeed.
