Either way they all eventually mesh with ๐˜™๐˜ฐ๐˜ค๐˜ฌ๐˜ฏ๐˜ณ๐˜ฐ๐˜ญ๐˜ญ๐˜ข, too. As stupid and trashy as it needs to be, legit some of the dumbest stuff imaginable lmfao. Pure junky spectacle with jaw-dropping visuals and neurotic editing, felt like somebody laced my drink with crack while I was watching it. God-tier Law performance right here, chews the scenery so much that legend has it his jaw dislocated. Unmistakably Ritchie in areas but unfortunately often sacrifices auteur personality for genre convention (take a shot every time you see a side character you'll remember and you'll end up totally sober - and that stupid joke about the roundtable at the end was puh-thetic). To say this frankly disgraceful excuse of a screenplay is the exact same movie as all of these other edgy historical action-remakes for high school boys would be a severe understatement. Glad it didn't turn too much into jokey blockbuster corn or yet another over-emphasized failed origin story (most of this is wisely cut to montages with like nu-gothic heavy breathing scores lol). In short, the type of movie I'm *shocked* wasn't released in 2003/2004. I feel bad for those who love King Arthur and then saw this movie - but Jude Law cuts off a guy's ear then whispers into it and Charlie Hunnam full-on does the ๐˜›๐˜ธ๐˜ช๐˜ญ๐˜ช๐˜จ๐˜ฉ๐˜ต: ๐˜•๐˜ฆ๐˜ธ ๐˜”๐˜ฐ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ angst-run through the woods. So of course I, for one, enjoyed the hell out of it.

Lived up to the hype
Man, I love this movie. I actually would watch it before most of the Harry Potter films. Just everything about it hit the right chords for me. I loved the new characters and found them just as lovable as the original trio. The fresh setting of New York is also a welcome change of pace.

I thought that this film balanced the darkness and humor so well, which is something Rowling has always done well...I should never have doubted her! Far from a die-hard fan, but am more than pleased that this film lived up to my expectations. Looking forward to the sequel (although I have my reservations about Depp and Law).

Riveting
This fascinating 1991 drama follows the friendship of Peter Burton (John Cusack) and Tim Gerrity (James Spader) from it's inception in law school to its grim finale on election night. Gerrity is that rare bird, a man from a wealthy family who simply wants to leave the world a better place than he found it. Peter comes from much more humble origins and is driven to succeed at any cost. Their unlikely friendship rises and falls around their career choices. We the viewers are left wondering if anyone as driven as Peter could ever be satisfied with the simple wholesome pleasures in life, like truth or friendship. Well paced, still highly relevant, and a well told tale.
  
book description:

All it took was one scone. When the hot-tempered (and widely hated) hobbyist Yvonne Gaynor eats a tainted pastry at Kiki's scrapbooking crop party, it triggers an allergy that leads to Yvonne's death. Even worse, the police suspect foul play when they realize that someone tampered with the treats and swiped the victim's allergy medication.

An expert at stealing design ideas, Yvonne had enough enemies to fill a memory album. Soon, the scrapbooking community pins her murder on Kiki's friends and our ace scrapper finds herself dealing with anti-Semitic threats at the shop, a quarrelsome pre-teen daughter at home, a meddlesome mother-in-law, and constant financial pressure. Despite help from the handsome yet annoyingly coy Detective Detweiler, Kiki has her work cut out for her in solving the crime.
