POA movie

[Randy Estes]

I agree with you Monika.

I am not "in love" with Sirius but I thought Gary
Oldman might not be a good choice until I actually saw
the movie.  I also liked the look and feel of this
movie.  It reminded me of an old Christopher Lee movie
with the lighting and the feel of a horror movie in
some places.

I think this movie represents the break from young
kids stories to preteen stories just like POA changes
the complexity of the storyline to a slightly more
mature audience.  Of course, GOF should be even more
so.  I could see the feel of this movie working well
in the graveyard scenes.  I still can't wait to see
how they do the "Voldemort soup" at the end.  We
always told my son Brian that Voldemort probably
looked liked Squidward on Spongebob Squarepants. 
Sounds odd, but you know some people would give their
right arm for a taste of Voldemort soup! ;0)
