I was so disappointed when I found out that I had accidentally ordered Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire. Thankfully Netflix has a REALLY fast turn around because Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix came today and let me tell you, I’m just blown away with how awesome it was! I had heard that it was completely different from the other Harry Potter movies before it, so I wasn’t sure exactly what to expect, and I was pleasantly surprised!

It’s a bummer how each movie cruises ahead a few years from the last one, it’s funny to think of how young Harry, Ron and Hermione were in the first movie compared to where they were in this one. They’re so grown up now and their worlds are so totally different than they were when we first met them!

Anyway, if you haven’t caught this movie yet, be prepared because it is much “darker” than the others have been. But unlike other movies that have sequels, Harry Potter is not following in their path. The first movie was still by far the best, but The Order of the Phoenix definitely comes in second! It’s very action filled and it’s hard to figure out what’s going to happen next. It also had a somewhat emotional moment with the death of one of the long term characters, but I’m not going to say who in case you haven’t see it yet!

It’s been a long day and I’m still having problems with my neck and shoulder, although nothing compared to what my gal Kat is experiencing! I need to wrap things up and get some sleep. See ya tomorrow!

The one thing that I do look forward to every holiday season is making a big bowl or popcorn or other snack and getting comfy in the recliner to watch my two favorite Classic Christmas movies!  My number one favorite is It’s A Wonderful Life with Jimmy Stewart.  I’ve watched all of the remakes of this movie, but none compare to the class of the original!  My other favorite is White Christmas.  I’m a HUGE Blue Eyes fan, and this is one of my most treasured movies of his!

I grabbed the remote to search for my favorite movies so that I could auto tune them and not miss them.  I was TOTALLY blown away to find that only It’s a Wonderful Life is showing on any channels between now and Christmas.  TVGuide.com tells me that NBC is going to show it this Friday night at 8:00, so I’ll be sure to mark it on my calendar so I don’t miss it.  But I’m totally bummed that I’m not going to be able to watch White Christmas this year unless I go out and purchase it.  Oh well, one out of two is better than one at all, right?
