What a weekend...............

Saturday , 18th July 2009Today i went to watch Man Utd play Malaysia XI. To be honest i wasn't in the mood after the 1 hour in the car trying to find parking and the half and hour walk to the stadium. But once i sat down and heard the crowd cheering and singing, nothing else mattered. I had watched (in my opinion) the greatest football players play right in front of my eyes. It match ended 3-2 in an exciting game. The fact i actually witnessed it in a stadium made it 10 times better. Rooney opened the scoring with Nani doubling the tally. At 2-0 i secretly wanted Malaysia to score some to get the game going as it was slowing down already and guess what, they did. Amri Yahyah scored a well placed chip of Van der Sar the make it 2-1 at half time. He then did it again in a much easier way in the 2nd half against Ben Foster. The remaining minutes were just fantastic. The crowd were practically screaming for Sir Alex to bring on Owen, and when he did, i thought the stadium was going to collapse. It was even louder when he actually scored in the remaining 5 minutes. Fantastic atmosphere, amazing experience.

Sunday , 19th July 2009If Saturday's events weren't enough, i went to watch Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince today at Pyramid. As much as it pains me to say this, i was disappointed. It really wasn't like the other Harry Potter movies. I think it was the kind of story that could only be placed in a book. I also thought it was a dumb move that the trailers were making it seemed as if it was an action movie. To be frank, this had everything the previous one didn't and lacked everything the previous one did. Order of Phoenix had plenty of action and duels but lacked a proper story. This one had a very good story and there were some parts where i was really into it but there weren't many duels or any magic in that case. The only duel i remembered was a brief one involving Harry and Draco. Not many spells were used and the romance part were a little too awkward. As most of you may know, i keep my word of never reading a book before i actually watch a movie.

My theory is that the book will always be better therefore ruining the movie. And some people say the movie can only be nice if you read the book. If that's true, then David Yates is a fool. Majority would have only watched the movies with out reading the book. He should have known that and should have tried really hard to turn it into a good film. I'm sorry Potter fans, i know how you feel as a fellow fan myself but the movie just wasn't good, it was missing the usual Harry-Potter-feel. One thing good i can say about the film is.......

EMMA WATSON IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!
