(Blog Assignment?) Reviews of Movies to See

これは見たことがなくて、見たい映画です。
These are movies I haven't seen yet but want to see:

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
It's out right now, but I'm not up for crowds atmo. I usually prefer the books anyway. On the other hand, I am looking forward to the special effects.
This is the fourth movie in the series, where Harry is somehow entered into the Tri-wizard Tournament and gets into all sorts of the usual trouble. It's also where the series takes a darker turn, because at the end (this might be a *SPOILER* for some of you, but geez, you should try reading sometime) a character dies.

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe
Another movie based on a book, this movie comes out Dec. 9th. I read the Narnia series as a child, ironically in the order that they were written rather than the more recent order of publication. Since they're starting with the Lion, Witch, and Wardrobe, it looks like they're making the movies in the same order. That is, if they plan to make the rest of the series.
Basically, these four children end up going into another world through an old wardrobe in their uncle's(?) house. There are satyrs and centaurs, talking animals, and a power-hungry witch who is turning the land into a permanent winter domain. With the guidance of Aslan, a god-like lion, the children fight to wrest Narnia from the witch's grasp.

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
This one has been out for quite awhile, but I still haven't seen it. I read most of the 3 books when I was younger, and tried to watch a live action version of it (a movie from the 70's? I don't quite remember). It's a cult classic, really; the start of it involves the Earth being blown up for the construction of some galactic freeway or something to the like. The dolphins (second smartest creatures on the planet after the mice) get the infamous line "so long and thanks for all the fish!" before the take off from the planet. What follows is a series of random adventures of a rather reluctant Arthur Dent and his alien comrades. If anything, you should see it for all the quotes.


Well, I hope I did this assignment right. And hopefully I won't need any more sick days from class.
