K:

He closes out the "review" (actually a b!tchfest on wheels) by 
admitting that he's "too old" for Harry Potter movies.   Okay.  Fine.  
Then don't go to any more.   Spend your time waxing eloquent about Rent 
and Brokeback Mountain.

I think it ought to be a reviewer policy that film reviewers DON'T 
review every film, and instead only those that they would intend to see 
in their real life.   I review things, but I didn't review, say, "Doom: 
The Movie" because I know that it isn't my cup of tea at all.   Nor did 
I feel I needed to have an opinion on "Vera Drake" or "The Hours" or 
any other movie that didn't sound like fun to me.
