I hope this year or next we could watch another Garfield movie and in 3D of course!  Make it more creative, more adventurous and much moral value in it.  I missed Garfield!

Will This Be The Last Movie Of The Harry Potter Series?

Warner Brothers Harry Potter film is set to open July 15th, 2009. Like the previous film, this film will be simultaneously released in regular theatres and IMAX 3D. They are showing some great behind the scenes footage and new scenes from the new film Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. The video highlights both the dark and comedic moments of the film. Movies like this one are correcting the balance. It offers the best of both worlds.

David Yates is returning for the sixth film Half-Blood Prince, and I am sure that moviegoers will welcome him with open arms. I'm guessing somebody else noticed the improvements. David Yates is the director for which this amazing series has been searching. While Columbus's first two were cute sometimes too cute and imaginative, Cuaron's story driven focus on the third was very well-done, and Newell's streamlined fourth was well acted with poor effects, Yates's vision of the fifth novel was exactly as I imagined everything in my head. David Yates is the fourth director to take on the task of bringing Harry Potter's adventures to the screen. Yates has relatively little feature film directorial experience particularly compared to his predecessors but he still manages to put in a solid effort.

Director David Yates is a seasoned hand at TV realism, his credits include Sex Traffic and The Way We Live Now. Director David Yates has a great way of telling the story. Director David Yates is presently working on the Half-Blood Prince movie but many expected he would step aside for someone else to handle the film version of the seventh and final installment.

Movie fans expect Harry Potter will magically rule box offices this summer. Thirty nine percent of respondents in an online poll named Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince the summer movie they most want to see.

On Harry Potter JK Rowling does an excellent job with this new story. She mixes action and romance with a dose of mystery and a side order of excitement. This could be the last film in the series because the actors getting so old now that it would be hard for future movies to be believable.

Die Hard!!! - Married Again...

Bruce Willis and supermodel Emma Heming, 32,
visited London to view some properties.

With ex-wife Demi Moore and her husband Ashton Kutcher among the guests, Bruce Willis said "I do" with model and actress Emma Heming on Saturday 21st, PEOPLE confirms. The small wedding ceremony took place at the actor's home in Parrot Cay, Turks & Caicos. Also present among the small group of guests were Moore and Willis's daughters, Rumer Willis, 20, Scout, 17, and Tallullah Belle, 15.

The wedding coincided with Willis's birthday: The actor turned 54 on Thursday. Heming is 32. The couple, who met through mutual friends, have been together for more than a year and will be having a civil ceremony when they return to California, according to the actor's rep.

Demi Moore, 42, and Ashton Kutcher, 27, said “I do” in Los Angeles Saturday Sept. 25, 2005. The first marriage for Kutcher and the third for Moore, whose previous unions—to rock musician Freddie Moore (1980-84) and to actor Bruce Willis (1987-2000) — ended in divorce.
