So this is actually sort of old news, but it’s noteworthy. Emma Watson (aka Hermione from Harry Potter) turned 18 on the 28th of April. While to some this may seem nothing of importance, when you turn 18 you are considered an adult. Thusly by turning 18, she now has full access to her $20 million dollars that she earned by acting in all 5 of the Harry Potter movies. Not so bad if you ask me! She’s already set for life (as long as she is able to manager her money.)

Anyways, I just hope that she does not turn into another stupid celebrity and destroy her career and or life (Macaulay Culkin, Brittany Spears, <insert random drug addicted movie star here>).

So aside from it being her birthday, I am pretty excited about the upcoming two new Harry Potter movies. From what my friends tell me, they are glad they split the final book into two movies rather than cram and clip most of the book into 2 hours (cough cough Order of cough Phoenix).

So, I went and saw that movie 300. Let me just say this right off the bat… if you have not seen it YOU MUST GO SEE IT TODAY. No question about it. It makes Gladiator look like a disney movie!

The plot is nothing original by a long shot. Good guy(s) defending their country against, yep you guessed it, a bad guy who wants to take it over. But there is so much character and feeling put into the movie that you almost feel like you’re part of it. The ending is especially great. I loved how it made you get this sense of Oh my Gosh I would hate to be there! If you want to watch trailers or anything like that go to www.fandango.com and check em out there. You can even read what it is all about. I dont want to give anything away. But for the most part, this is one movie that I am willing to pay movie theater prices to go see again. That type of movie has not come out for a very very long time (at least for me.)
