Movies and Me

If i were asked about Harry Potter a few months back, seriously i know nothing about it. For me Harry Potter is just another blockbuster movies and people are phenomenally crazy about it. I often get confused between Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings..believe it or not i used to think those two movies are the same..Blame it on my kids hahaha. Being a mum to a 6 and 3 yrs old kids, meaning am stuck with either disney or any animated movies. Just kidding! Myself also do not really into those kind of movies. Moreover, i have a deeper feeling too towards all disney movies especially the classsic ones like Cinderella, Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs and luckily my daughther, Aqeelah, share the same feeling with me. She really adores those princesses.

Last 2 weeks they aired "Notthing Hill" on tv. I was then refreshing my hubby memories about the last time we have even been to the movies. And it was 6 years ago. No wonder i missed a lot of good movies. Though there are dvds or vcds but i find myself glued to the tv watching programmes like sitcoms, reality shows, telenovela or travel&living channel. Its hard to concentrate to movies when you have kids at home plus you have to cencored some of the parts. Although i could watch it after kids go to bed but by that time i will be too tired or hubby is already snoring.

Back to Harry Potter, since most of my friend recommended it and by looking at the rating it is a worth watching movie..so i decided to give it a try. What do you think is the verdict? Of course i liked it. Its not as heavy drama as i think and the character are quite cute. All i need to do now is to get all the sequels. I also read about the person behind all this Harry Potter madness, JK Rowling. It is an amazing stories how she started writing about Harry Potter. She said that her life's ambition is to see a book she had written on a shelf in a bookshop. Everything that has happened since then has been extraordinary and wonderful. It was the fulfillment of a dream she had since she was a very small child. JK Rowling, famous creator of the even more famous Harry Potter, once hit the headlines for being richer than the Queen. Wow! You go girl!

To conclude, am still a romantic comedy disney's girl!
