The End of a Magical Era Is the Most Beautiful Thing You Can See in a Theater By Rod Meyer The New York Post is the best thing you can watch at the movies this year. After experiencing it in 3D, I felt like the film was made with a checklist in hand, delivering the best possible experience in every department. From acting and direction to sound design, VFX, makeup, costumes, set design, action, editing, cinematography, and music, the movie excels across the board. I wouldn’t be surprised if…- 1.0 M • Ongoing
- Rod Meyer glanced down at his watch, only to reel back in surprise. Nearly 2 hours and 45 minutes had already passed since the movie began. Most films would have wrapped up by now, yet this one still had several major plot points left to cover. The strange thing was that not for a second had Rod felt bored or thought the film was too long. He didn’t have time to dwell on that thought because the movie, aided by its tight editing, immediately surged back into motion. This time, the perspective…

- The decision to go to Hogwarts may have been made, but it wasn’t as easy as simply thinking about it. “How will we even get to Hogwarts?” Ron asked, voicing the most important question as he changed out of his wet shirt. “Honeydukes,” Harry suggested after a moment, pulling off his own soaked shirt. “From Hogsmeade. That’s the safest way.” “It was the safest way,” Ron pointed out, now fully dressed. “We aren’t the only ones who know about it. Everyone does. Even the Death…

“Action!” At Mr. Gardner’s cue, I took off across the campus, my breath steady as a steadicam operator fell into stride beside me. Renting the rig and hiring someone skilled enough to handle it had been expensive, but it was an expense I couldn’t cut. I had a very specific vision for this scene, and without a steadicam, it simply wouldn’t work. Some things were non-negotiable, even on a micro-budget. Every other outdoor scene had already been shot. This was the last one, held back only…- 246.1 K • Ongoing
- It surprised Al Pacino to learn that a mere 18-year-old had written such an impressive story. When Noah left the script for him that day, Al had been irritated. It wasn’t the first time an acquaintance had tried to corner him into working together, and he was usually very good at shutting those attempts down. Still, there was something about Noah that stirred his curiosity. If the boy had managed to sell a script to Columbia and earn enough money to buy a house right next to his, he couldn’t be…

- Hermione broke down into sobs, and the way Harry pulled her into a hug made the moment even more heartbreaking for the audience. Rod really appreciated how much the acting across the trio had improved over the years. Ron completely stole the scene with the raw intensity of his outburst, while Hermione’s breakdown felt painfully real, the kind of emotion that didn’t seem acted at all. Harry and Hermione waited for Ron for an entire day, hoping he’d return. When he didn’t, they finally packed…

- As the movie continued, Harry, Remus, and Tonks were joined by the rest of the Order, all there to spirit Harry away from Number 4, Privet Drive. Ron, Hermione, Fred, George, Bill, Fleur, Arthur Weasley, Mundungus Fletcher, and Kingsley Shacklebolt arrived in quick succession, led by Mad-Eye Moody. The empty living room felt suddenly crowded with all the new arrivals. The moment Moody pulled out a flask of Polyjuice Potion, Harry became very vocal about how he felt about everyone risking their lives for…

- I cut cleanly through the water until I reached the end of the lane, flipped into a smooth turn, and powered back toward the starting block. As I touched the wall, my teammate launched himself forward to face swimmers from the other Ivy League schools. As good a swimmer as I was, there was nothing more I could do once my leg of the relay ended. If I really wanted to, I could temporarily boost my teammates, the same way I had helped Julie while filming The Blue Lagoon. But that would’ve been pushing…

- “We’re live here at Trafalgar Square for the premiere of the most awaited film in the biggest movie franchise in the world, !” the female host announced excitedly, her voice rising above the roar of the crowd. “I’m Robin Myers, your host tonight. Let’s meet some of our fans and see what they think.” The camera followed as Robin weaved through the tightly packed crowd, stopping in front of a small group pressed against the barricades, their faces painted and scarves wrapped tightly around…

- It was a nice, sunny day when I drove to the address Matt had given me. The building was a little rundown, nowhere close to a big studio like Paramount or Warner Bros. Still, the long line of cars parked nearby made it clear I wasn’t the only one with the bright idea to audition on the last day. Since I’d arrived half an hour before the auditions were scheduled to start, I was already feeling a little nervous. Even so, I pushed it down and walked in confidently. Before I could ask anyone where to…
