True to his word, when I came home from work late last night, my dear hubby had everything already prepared . . . haayyy!!! sarap ng buhay ko! I had my chips on a big bowl, drinks cooling in the fridge waiting to be opened, ice cream (that I skipped, y the way), my pillow plus blanket...and of course, the film waiting to be played...aaahhhhh...sarap talaga. I just made one phone call, then I asked for the much awaited film to be played na nga.
Well, I guess, one can say that this last film of Harry Potter is by far better than the first two. But it still doesn't come up to my expectations. I was definitely expecting more from it, that I almost got disappointed after it was finished. In the end, I would say that the books are still better than the film, as always. I have read all five books and I have seen all three film interpretation. In conclusion, I think J.K. Rowling’s masterpiece was not well interpreted in the films.
So far, I have only seen one film that is definitely as good as the book itself. Interview with the Vampire was given enough justice it deserved in the film interpretation...no!!! Wait! The Silence of the Lambs and the Hannibal series are also great. But I couldn't keep my eyes open all through out the film. I couldn't bear to watch the gross parts. Funny, I can read it, but not watch it. I just thought they would also be able to give justice to the Harry Potter series. Guess I thought wrong.
@ Hi Idol Batjay
Magandang araw po. Thanks for the tip. Meron yata hubby ko noon, kaya lang in German. Special Editions are difficult to find here, specially in English, but I will try anyway, hehehehe.
@ Hello russ
My Hubby has always been so thoughtful and super extra caring. I always (starting from the day we lived together) get breakfast in bed every Sundays, that is if I have no work, suwerte ko 'no?

Posted by: BatJay at June 13, 2004 01:01 PMhello thess,i guess it also has something to do with how your imagination works...medyo mas exciting to imagine it and make the picture in your head yourself, than watching the interpretations of others...will send you update nga pala on the project....wait lang kay tita konti...medyo mabagal, tumatanda na kasi, hehehe.
hi bebe, i am also not a big fan of anne rice. na-inggit lang ako sa bro ko who had most of her books...kaya nakibasa na rin...hehehe.kala mo ikaw lang ingittera?:)haha...enjoy the rest of the weekend!

i Liked this HP fiLm, i feLt its more organized, but i feLt Like there shouLd be something more in the end.
Posted by: bebe at June 12, 2004 10:36 PMI understand your view... I'd always go for the books...such as John Grisham's, always a discrepancy between the written & seen
and I also hate seeing the bloody parts btw
