Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
PG
I was really excited about seeing The Half Blood Prince especially since it and The Deathly Hallows are my favorite books from the Harry Potter series. I did enjoy watching it but I was a little disappointed. The film left out so many important and exciting parts. All of Tom Riddle's memories, the battle at the castle with the Death Eaters, just to name a couple. I felt if you haven't read the books then you'd be some what lost while watching this film. The beginning and the end of the film was the most exciting for me, the middle just seemed to play out so slowly. I can still say I'm still a Potter fan and I'm anticipating the last film.

PLOT:
The film tells the story of 3 characters from different walks of life, who all intersect with each other unknowingly. First off there is Parmie Tarzo a mob boss, played by Vincent D'Onofrio. He wants nothing more than to be famous. Next we have Sully a septic tank cleaner, played by Ethan Hawke. He wants his unborn child to be a genius. Then we have Jasper, a deaf mute butcher, played by Seymour Cassel. He works as the mobsters butcher, hacking people up. After we meet all the characters and see a small glimpse of their lives, the story unfolds to show how they eventually connect with each other.
I have to say this film was a bit strange and unusual, but in a good way. It's listed as a crime, drama film but I found it to be more comical than anything. The story line was interesting enough and all 3 actors played their characters very well. D'Onofrio's character was a bit off the wall but that seems to be the case in all the roles he plays.
