Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (SPOILERS)

Sorry, CM ... didn't know that about you. Alex, likewise.

I'm surprised at your reaction to the series though, because - oddly enough - we seem to share eerily similar tastes in film.


I'm really only wild about Prisoner of Azkaban, and I kinda like the others the way I like Star Wars movies - - lotsa stuff in 'em that I like, but not very good films as such.

A great quote from a review of the new film in the L.A. Weekly that perfectly sums up why Order of the Phoenix is now my second fave HP movie:
