I have decided that I am going to start posting some of the reviews that I originally posted on Epinions here. I think that most of the time when I do that, I’ll probably make at least a few changes. When I do repost one of those reviews, I will mention that it was originally posted on Epinions. If I have recently rewatched the movie, then I might just do a whole new review. I think I will still mention that I had previously posted a review of the book at Epinions in that case as well.
I have managed to watch more movies recently and I hope to get some reviews posted soon. I have mostly kept up with posting about the movies I have seen in the theater in the last few months, so that is something. At times, I think I will make shorter posts about what I have watched recently. If I have already done a longer review on that movie, then I will link back to it. I may also do posts at times about what movies will be coming out soon and which ones I want to try to see.
I want to set up a page, or maybe it will just be a few posts, that list the books I have reviewed along with links to the reviews. I had something like set up for my reviews at Epinions as well. I will be doing that for each of my blogs. I know I don’t have many posts on any of them right now, but I figure that this is a good time to get started on that.

The End of My Movie Drought
I love movies and I enjoy going to the theater to see new movies, even when I get annoyed by rude people sitting near me. For the first several months of this year, I wasn’t able to make it to the theater. Work was crazy for a while but the extremely bad winter here also played a part. There were a few times when I had a day off that I wanted to go see a movie. Then the winter weather struck again, dumping more snow, ice, freezing rain, or a combination of all three. When the weather was better, I either didn’t have days off or there were no movies that I wanted to see.
At the end of March, I was finally able to end my movie drought when I went to see Muppets Most Wanted. I have loved the Muppets since I was a child and there was no way I was going to miss seeing that movie in the theater. Since then I have managed to see a few more. I have been meaning to write about them, but that hasn’t happened so far. Hopefully I will get motivated to write again and fix that. I have a fairly large movie collection as well as a lot of tv shows on DVD. In the past, I would at least take the time to watch some of those even when I wasn’t able to get to the theater. I didn’t watch many of those in the last several months either, but I have started to fix that as well.

Changes
Something beyond my control that happened on February 25th 2014 is causing me to make some changes tied to how I post things online. Epinons.com, the review site I have been a member of for almost thirteen years, is no longer allowing members to post reviews, rate reviews, edit, or even delete reviews. Members will no longer be able to log on after March 25.
The site had problems over the years, but I remained optimistic that things would get better, or at least, not get any worse. I really didn’t think they would close up completely like this. I guess that makes me a bit gullible. The site has been a huge part of my life for these almost thirteen years and I feel like something is missing. I truly love writing about books, movies, and television shows. Now that Epinions is no more, I have been thinking on how I would continue to write about those things.
Last year, I joined another site, Bubblews as MarieDragonfire. People can post about anything there and some people say they have made a lot of money there. I posted different things there last year, though mostly still connected to books, movies, or tv shows in some way. Other things happened to sort of suck my motivation for writing in general for a while. In the last few days, I have started to post there again.
I have decided that I will post here about movies more again. I am thinking that some of what I post will be like the reviews I posted at Epinions - and I may even rework reviews that were originally posted there. I think I will also post some other things that may just be me talking briefly about upcoming movies or things like that. I have also decided to start another blog just for writing about books, Purple Dragon Books. I may make one for television shows as well, once I think up another name. I will leave the posts about books that I did previously here.
I still think about writing and posting about books, movies, and tv shows all the time. Hopefully, I can post more actively this year between my blogs and Bubblews than I managed to do last year.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone - Book
I quickly got hooked on the Harry Potter books after I received the first one for my birthday in October of 2001. I picked up the other books that were out at the time and went to see the first movie within days of it being released. I have all of the books and have read them multiple times. I recently decided to read them again, the first time in just over two years.
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone - Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone is the original title in England - is the first book in the seven book series. It gets off to a good start, setting up things well and it does a good job of introducing the main characters. The story is interesting, and while it may not seem like it on a first reading, there are little hints and things being introduced that will be important later in the series.
While I love the movies overall - though there are things about them I don’t like - I like the books more and think they are better. I know many people have only seen the movies. It is definitely worth it to read the books for those people, and they should definitely start with this book. It is wonderfully detailed and very magical. The story ends up being very interesting and entertaining.
Reading the book again, I rediscovered some little details I had forgotten about, and some other things I just hadn’t thought about in a while, like Peeves. He would have been a very interesting addition to the movies, especially since he was frequently turning up to cause some mischief or complications. For the most part, I think the movie version of this book was done very well and stayed very true to the book. I remember some people complaining about that when the movie came out, saying it wasn’t different enough, something I don’t agree with. In this book, Neville was a little more involved in a few things, which ties into his overall development and it helps to set the foundation for what he ultimately does in the final book.
I feel that the books have more of a sense of magic and they definitely deserve to be read. I still love them and I really enjoyed reading Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone again. I will not let so much time pass before I read them again.
I did post a longer review on Epinions in 2003 that has been updated.

Summer Movies 2010 - July and August
I am continuing to talk briefly about the movies I saw in the theater during the summer of 2010. This post is about the movies released in July and August that I saw in the theater.
The Last Airbender is based on an animated series that I’ve never seen. Things do develop a bit slowly, though a lot of what happens is setting up things for more movies. I enjoyed this one enough to see more of them, though I have no idea if they will made or not since this one didn’t do that great at the box office. The character development isn’t that great, something that is disappointing. There are interesting action scenes and some cool looking effects.
The Sorcerer’s Apprentice is a really fun movie that I loved. Unfortunately, it didn’t do that good at the box office. The plot is very entertaining and interesting, and I do think things are left open for a potential sequel..or even a movie franchise. I have no idea if that will happen though. I loved all the magic stuff and think the effects are done well, with several of them looking cool. The characters are interesting even though they could have been developed a bit more. This is one I definitely plan to add to my movie collection.
Inception is the most original movie I have seen in ages. It is different, and while I think that is part of what makes it such a wonderful movie, some people aren’t going to like it. The plot seems simple at first, but things get more complex and things are left in a way that allows the audience to decide for themselves something very important. The cast is wonderful and the characters are complex and highly interesting. There are some amazing visuals in the movie, but the movie is dependent on special effects. Christopher Nolan is an amazing director. The man is a genius and definitely one of the best directors working.
Salt is a decent action movie staring Angelina Jolie. The plot is interesting and developed enough, though there are a few things that don’t work as well. The action scenes are done really well, but a few things go over the top and make things less believable. The characters are interesting, though there isn’t enough development for most of them. Fans of Jolie should give this one a chance.
I wasn’t sure about seeing Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore, but I’m glad I did. The best thing about it for me is that there was a new Loony Tunes cartoon before the movie. I love Loony Tunes, so that made it worth seeing the movie for me. I saw the first Cats & Dogs and liked it ok, though it wasn’t a favorite. With this one, there is more focus on the animals and humans don’t do much. Most of what happens is silly, but the movie ends up being pretty entertaining overall.
The Other Guys looked like it would be funny, so I wanted to see it even though Will Ferrell can be annoying sometimes. He was more restrained in this one, though he still has a few annoying moments. Overall the movie is really funny and definitely worth seeing. The plot is fairly simple, but it works. Mark Wahlberg does a great job and show that he can do comedy.
The Expendables is a very entertaining action movie. Sylvester Stallone is getting a little old for this type of movie, but he still manages to make it work. The plot isn’t overly complicated and it makes an entertaining movie. The action is intense at times, especially later in the movie. Some of it is over the top, but it is cool to see. The cast works really well together too.

Summer Movies 2010 - June
I am continuing to discuss the movies I saw over the summer of 2010 briefly. This post will cover the movies that were released in June.
Killers is a bit different from what I expected, but I managed to enjoy it overall. I was hesitant about seeing it because of Katherine Heigl - I just don’t like her that much. I decided to see it anyway. I was entertained overall, but the movie does have issues with the plot and characters. Fans of Heigl or Ashton Kutcher may find something to like about it.
The A-Team is based on the popular television show that aired in the 1980s. I watched the show all the time. The show was over the top, but it worked was entertaining. I was a little surprised that this movie didn’t do better. I loved it. It was a fun action comedy type of movie. The cast is great in their parts and the plot is entertaining while also serving as basically a origin story, telling how the group came to do what they were doing. I would definitely go see another movie, though I don’t know that one will be made.
Toy Story 3 is one of the rare sequels that Pixar has made. It is also a third movie that is just as good as the first - something that is incredibly rare. It was one of the most anticipated movies of the summer and ended up being one of the biggest. The plot continues the story that began in the first movie and the characters have new adventures. I think the movie stays true to the first movies and what has been established about the characters really well. The animation is absolutely amazing and the 3D effects work to enhance things in a subtle way. The movie is fun, touching, and highly emotional. Animated plastic toys have more heart and produce more emotion than most human characters. Yes, the movie made me cry. The movie is absolutely wonderful and definitely one of the best of the year. The animated short, Day & Night, that plays before the movie is one of the most creative that Pixar has done.
Marmaduke is another of the movies featuring real animals made to look like they are talking. This one really wasn’t one I was that interested in seeing, but I saw it anyway. There are a few cute moments, but it isn’t that great and I don’t think I would have missed much if I had skipped the movie. There is some humor, but most of it didn’t work for me. Children will probably enjoy the movie more than I did.
The Karate Kid is sort of a remake, though several things about the story are different from the earlier version. The name doesn’t exactly fit since kung fu is used instead of karate. The story, while not overly original, is very entertaining. There is a decent amount of action to what is happening. Jaden Smith does a really good job in the movie and I wouldn’t be at all surprised if he has a long acting career. I haven’t seen all of Jackie Chan’s movies, but this is probably the best acting I’ve seen from him. The movie is definitely worth seeing.
Knight and Day looked better from the previews than it ultimately ended up being. It is an entertaining movie, but it could have been a lot better. The plot is interesting and mostly fun, though it didn’t seem to be as developed as it could have been. The action scenes are entertaining, though some of them go way over the top. This one was only ok for me.

Summer Movies 2010 - May
Summer tends to be packed with a lot of movie releases, including several that the studios hope will make buckets of money. At times, there are too many movies being released at the same time to have any chance of keeping up with, and summer seems to be the worst for this. The summer of 2010 wasn’t any different. There were a lot of big movies released. Some of them lived up to expectations or even passed them while others didn’t do as well.
At any given time there are usually a few movies out that I’m interested in seeing. The summer has had more movies that I’ve been interested in the last few years. I managed to see several of the summer movies I was interested in, though there are some that I’ll have to wait for DVD to see.
I have decided to share a little bit about the movies of summer 2010, starting with May, that I was able to see in the theater. I have posted longer reviews for these movies at Epinions and I will include the links.
Iron Man 2 came out the first Friday in May and it was expected to be one of the big movies. I loved Iron Man and had been looking forward to the sequel for a while. This one isn’t quite as good as the first movie, but it is still very entertaining and definitely worth seeing. The movie also continues to add to the foundation that Marvel is laying for future movies.
The Losers is based on a graphic novel series that I had never heard of. I was interested when I first saw a trailer and ended up going to see it. The movie is very entertaining and I think I will probably add it to my movie collection at some point. The plot and character development could have been a bit better, but it is still very entertaining and worth watching for a fun action movie. I do think it is sort of like The A-Team, so it isn’t the most original.
The Backup Plan is a romantic comedy starring Jennifer Lopez, which is probably enough to turn a lot of people off. The plot is a little different, with a woman falling in love after deciding to have a baby through artificial insemination. The movie is very predictable and silly overall, though it is fairly funny at times. Some of what happens is gross and didn’t need to be included. The movie is entertaining, though not a must see.
Shrek Forever After is the fourth movie in the Shrek series. While I have enjoyed the previous movies, I didn’t think they were as great as a lot of other people. I do think this one was better than the third one, though the plot was far from original. Several things were very much like what happened in the earlier movies. I did see this one in 3D. An early image was really well done, and one of the best uses of 3D I’ve seen. The movie is cute and entertaining overall and I’ll probably add it to my movie collection.
Robin Hood (2010) is very different from every other version of the story I’ve seen, including the animated Disney version. A few elements are still the same, but a lot is different. The movie is entertaining, but with all the differences, it seems odd to call it Robin Hood.
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is another movie based on a video game. I’ve never played any of the Prince of Persia game. I’m not even sure how many there are, though I have heard of them. I think the movie works as a fun, entertaining action movie. The plot works well and helps to make things entertaining. I could have done without the snakes that kept popping up though.
At any given time there are usually a few movies out that I’m interested in seeing. The summer has had more movies that I’ve been interested in the last few years. I managed to see several of the summer movies I was interested in, though there are some that I’ll have to wait for DVD to see.

House Bunny
When House Bunny came out in theaters, I was only slightly interested in seeing it eventually. My interest wasn't great enough to warrant heading to the theater and forking over cash. Not that long ago, I spotted the DVD fairly cheap and I almost picked it up, but something stopped me. Now that I've seen the movie, thanks to one of the Encore channels I get, I'm very glad I didn't give into the momentary urge to get the DVD.
The plot has a tiny bit of potential that quickly goes no where fast while Anna Faris prances around barely dressed most of the time. She does get naked at one point, though she is only shown from behind. The role does show off a sexier side of Faris. Sexual remarks are made and a few things shown are very suggestive, but there aren't any actual sex scenes. Faris's character is sort of likable, but she is so stupid that she becomes irritating. The jokes fall flat most of the time and things just aren't that entertaining or interesting. I was watching the clock waiting for it to end.
House Bunny isn't the worst movie I've seen, but it is far from the best. Fans of Anna Faris may find something to enjoy about the movie, but I wouldn't count on it. The movie is available to rent and own on DVD and Blu-ray. It has been turning up on the Encore movie channels and it could be an On Demand option with some cable and satellite providers.
I did post a longer review of House Bunny on Epinions.

HBO
I've had HBO for a few years now and I really like the channel. Most of the time, I can find a movie on one of the HBO channels that I am interested in watching. Since I've had HBO, I've seen several movies that I was interested in that I missed while they were in the theater. I've watched some movies again that I love and I've even watched some that I wasn't really interested in before but watched because there was nothing else on that I was interested in at that point and gotten hooked on a few of the original shows. Now that I have a DVR too, I'm able to see more movies and shows that I'm interested in. I just need more hours in the day to watch everything.

I have been writing reviews on Epinions.com since 2001, mostly about movies, books and television shows on DVD. I decided to start this blog to go along with the reviews I post on Epinions. My user name there is dragonfire88. I use the name Marie Dragonfire on a few other sites as well.
I started a site where I could share the links to all my reviews, arranged by subject. I thought that would be a more user friendly way for people to find all my reviews. As I post new reviews on Epinions, I add the links on this site.
Since I'm just starting, I'm not completely sure what all I'll post about yet, but there will be things about movies, television shows and books. The posts will vary in length, depending on what I'm writing about. I may write about other things every so often, but I'm sure that I'll mostly be writing about movies, television shows or books.
