Movie Man Darian Watching All Night Long

Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire
This film In my opinion is the best out of the franchise. This film has action and suspense some romance and some laughs what more do you want in a movie?

Harry comes back for his 4th year at Hogwarts and is chosen for the Tri- Wizard Tournament. Where he has to face three dangerous tasks.

Rated PG - 13: frightening images and some violence

Daniel Radcliffe : Daniel gives once again another entertaining performance as Potter. In this one he stepped up his acting. Since the subject matter in this film is a big more serious. Potter's character is more on edge and tense. Which is what Daniel portrayed onscreen. The emotion he shows is outstanding. He is so stressed out about the tournament and if he will live and on the other hand he's a teenager who's trying to ask out girls so you really see him blossom and mature in this one. Another great performance by Daniel.

Rupert Grint : once again he gives another great performance as Ron. Grint is hardly in this film this time since this one is all about Potter. Ron shows up here and their but isn't in it that much. The thing I loved about his performance is he gave a great emotional performance in that short span of time he was in the film. He's gotten more serious which I love seeing. I think he's better acting wise when he's serious then comedic because that's when his acting abilities really shine through. I loved his performance.

Emma Watson : She gave another entertaining performance once again. In this film she is the one who transitions the most. She goes from being treated as a young girl to a young woman. In this one you see her love life blossom a bit which was great. The emotion she brings to the role this time was she's smart and will study her brains out but she also knows how to have fun. She did a great job at portraying that onscreen the expressions on her face and how she delivered the dialogue  made it more convincing.Overall I loved her performance.

David Yates : Brilliant direction for a great film. Mike created the perfect balance of fantasy and a serious tone into the film. At parts it would be really upbeat and bright then go into some really intense action sequence. He got great performances out of his actors. The beautiful design of the costumes and sets were wonderful it  made the scene come to life. He did great direction I loved it.

The Lighting : It felt bright but not to bright but also had a darker tone. So it felt like the perfect tone to the film. Great job guys.

The Cinematography : When Potter is on the first challenge with the dragon when he's flying on his broom.  It felt like you were flying with him it was fantastic. I loved it.

The Score : The score felt trumpet it was the perfect score for this picture. At the upbeat moments it felts really joyful and positive them goes low key at serious moments in the film. I loved it.

Harry  Potter And The Prisoner Of Azkaban
This film is one of the best out of the franchise. This film took a huge risk with getting a new director and replacing Chris with Alfonso. But Alfonso stepped the series up a notch and really showed to you Harry's magical world and the bright and dark things in his world. This film brilliant.

Harry returns for this third year at Hogwarts. But this times it's more personal when he finds out that Serious Black is on the loose. Will Harry stop him or will Serious get to him first.

Rated PG : Some frightening images, Some mild language

Daniel Radcliffe : He stepped up his game in this film. Remember when I said he got really serious in Chamber Of Secrets? He took that performance even further in this film. The emotion you see in his eyes and the way he delivers the dialogue was brilliant. When Gary Oldman and Daniel shared the screen together it was magic because the chemistry just flowed naturally. He definitely stepped up his performance as emotion in this film he did a great job. I loved his performance.

Rupert Grint : gives another great performance once again. In this one he transitions  from being comedic and going for the laughs all the time and becomes more serious. Which I love he's trying something different. But he doesn't loose his sense of humor which is great. Another great performance.

Emma Watson : Gives once again another great emotional performance. In this one she's not in it as much as Daniel but makes the most out of the time she has when she's onscreen. The emotion she shows is so powerful. It's that she cares so much for Harry and comforts him through these hard times. The way she showed onscreen was beautiful. Also when she needs to be serious she can turn those emotions on so easily. Another great performance as Granger once again.

Alfonso Cuaron : He gave the best direction on this film the best direction of the entire franchise. He put the right amount of humor and action in the story to keep you interested. Even though the subject in this one is more serious he didn't loose sight that it's a Potter film and should be full of magic which he put in it. So he balanced it perfectly. He's a genius he did a fantastic job. He got great performances out of his actors had a very well written dialogue it was great. He's a genius he did a fantastic job.

The Lighting : It was great bright at the upbeat parts and  dark at the more serious scenes it was great. Great job guys.

The Cinematography : The shot where Potter is on Buckbeak it was incredibly shot. It felt like you were with him flying it was great. great job guys.

The Score : John Williams is a genius. The one piece of music that I love that he did in the film was called BuckBeacks flight. It was scored so well it felt like a triumph the instruments they used in it was excellent. The music fit the film perfectly. Great job.

Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets
Once again this film delivers. The magic and mystery rises in this film. You lean more about Hogwarts and it's secrets. This film has more of a darker tone then the first one. The performances and chemistry that Daniel, Emma&Rupert brought was brilliant. Overall this film is an entertaining film that lives up to your expectations.

Harry Potter comes back for another year at Hogwarts. But things have changed at Hogwarts since what happened last time . The danger has gotten more serious. Will Potter find out the mystery that's hidden within Hogwarts or will Hogwarts close?

Rated PG : Some frightening images and mild language

Daniel Radcliffe : Hs steps his performance up brilliantly. The way he brings a more serious tone to his performance shined through his serious acting abilities. Which is great to watch because he just consumes himself I'm the role. So when he delivers the dialogue you believe him because he makes it so convincing. His acting was Incredible in this film. I loved his performance.

Rupert Grint :  He delivers once again another great performance as Ron. Rupert steps up his acting in this film. He has more scenes in this film then the last film which is great. He's also serious like Daniel and not  as funny. But he also has his good amount of laughs in the film. The thing I love about Rupert is he keeps on improving his performance every single time which is brilliant. He's just great fun to have onscreen. He gave once again another great  performance.

Emma Watson :  She delivers another memorable performance as Miss Granger. When Emma Watson is onscreen she just gives her all. Once again she entertains us with her skill and makes us laugh with her dry humor. Emma explores Grangers emotions throughout the series you see her character develop these different  emotions which is great. So you get to see all sides of her character which is fantastic. Her performance was once again another entertaining one. I loved it great performance.

Chris Columbus : He once again executes another perfect film. To me the sequel is the hardest to do because you need to show how the characters have developed or changed since the first one. And also you need to make it bigger and better. So theirs high expectations and Chris dose a great job at entertaining you once again. The sets once again were huge and very beautifully crafted. When you watch the series you can see the hard work they put into each film. Chris got great  performances out of his actors once again. He had a darker tone for this film but he didn't loose the sense that it's a Potter film and should be filled with magic and mystery he doesn't loose that which I think is brilliant. He did a great job once again great job Chris.

The Lighting : It was darker! When you see the Warner Bros logo at the beginning of the film it gets darker and only gets more darker throughout the series. The lighting choice for this film was brilliant. Great job guys.

The cinematography : The scenes that take place in the Chamber was fantastic and how they shot makes you part of the experience. Great job guys.

The Score : John Williams did another great score. John shows the dark side to the film through his music at parts it's very low and then goes loud. And also at times it just feels magical. I loved how Williams did a different score then I'm usually used to hearing and just see him experiment with different sounds was great. I loved the score.

Harry Potter And The Sorcerer's Stone
This film was a breakthrough in filmmaking! The astonishing detailed sets and the breathtaking visual effects. This film is the best adaption of a book to film I have ever seen. The great performances by first time actors Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson& Rupert Grint. This film is one of the best film franchises of all time.

When a young boy gets accepted into this magical and exciting world. Harry's world is changed forever.

Rated PG : for scary moments and mild Language

Daniel Radcliffe : For a young first time actor he gave a great performance. He gives a performance that's emotionally captivating. When you look into his eyes you can see the wonder and pain It was fantastic. The chemistry he had with his co - stars was brilliant. When Grint, Daniel&Watson were onscreen together they convinced you that they were close friends. They make a great duo it just makes the film ten times greater with their chemistry. Loved his performance.

Rupert Grint : He gave a great performance. His character is serious but also knows when to be serious at times. The chemistry he had with Emma&Daniel was fantastic. The emotion he has in the character is he uses his humor to relive the tension in the room but also had a heart of courage. Rupert couldn't of been a better choice to play this character fantastic performance.

Emma Watson : she gives such a great performance as Hermione Granger. The spirit she brings to the role is fantastic. The life she brings to the character is  she shows that she's a girl dedicated to her work and is very intelligent. But when she's in situations she quiet cunning and uses her smarts and knowledge to get out of them. Which I think is the brilliance of her character is she's serious but also is quiet funny at times. The way Emma portrayed this beloved character onscreen was great. The way she delivered the dialogue and just became the character was fantastic. She was the best choice for Granger. I loved her chemistry with Daniel&Rupert their great onscreen together the way they feed off each other with entertaining  performances is great. I loved her performance.

Chris Columbus : He gave genius direction on this brilliant film. The way he  made the sets so beautifully detailed down to the costumes. I loved how when you read the book you all of this and he just takes what you imagined out of the book and translate it so brilliantly onscreen. He cast the best actors for these wonderful characters. He did a genius job at staying true to the novel. He did a great
job.

The Lighting : It felt very bright and joyful for most of the film. But when it got more dark and serious the tone in lighting would change which was brilliant how they did it. Great job guys.

The Cinematography : It had some really wonderful shots. The scene when you first see Hogwarts it feels so magical and they your part of their world. It was great how they shot it. Great job guys.

The Score : John Williams is Brilliant. The amazing score piece of Hedwig's  theme was beautifully scored. It felt very high and triumphed at times. But also was low key at times. It fit the film perfectly john has once again outdone himself. I love this score.
