I was never particularly a Harry Potter fan–in fact, the only of the Potterverse movies I own is Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, directed by the great Alfonso Cuarón–it should go without saying that I don’t particularly care about the prequels. And speaking of prequels, the teaser trailer for Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes […]
Off the top of my head, I think that I may have seen two Harry Potter movies, though the only one I remember is Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (mainly because it was directed by Alfonso Cuarón, who did the remarkable Children of Men–one of those rare movies significantly better than the books that inspired them–more so than […]

For my money, Alfonso Cuarón is one of the most talented film makers working today. His “Henry Potter & The Prisoner of Azkaban” is one of the strongest entries in the franchise, while “Children Of Men” is one of the few movies that is actually better than the book it is based upon (besides having […]
