Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince ****1/2

Good evening, boys and girls!

This is your ol’ pal, Dustin Byfuglien! Many of you may not know this, but your ol’ buddy just so happens to be a bit of a fanatic of hollywood cinema… you might even go as far to call me a Big ol’ “Movie” Buff! ha-HA! Anyway, as most of you know I make $3 million per year, and that money needs to be spent somehow! That’s why your ol’ friend Dustin Byfuglien has a State-Of-The-Art movie complex in the basement of his house. ha-HA!

This week I intend to review a movie that came my way: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Now, Big Buff loves to read the Harry Potter series. I can remember a time this year when everyone seemed to be angry at your ol’ chum, and all I could think about was getting back to my hotel room and burying my nose into a world where criticism was returned with a good ol’ Petrificus Totalus! ha-HAHA!

That being said to Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, I LOVED IT!!! Four and a half stars out of four stars!

First and foremost, there are two realms in the duality of Harry Potter’s life: the side in which he confronts the normal but awkward adolescent transition, and side with the crazy life where everyone puts so much pressure on you that sometimes it feels like your head is going to cave inward where all you’ll become is this walking concaved symbolized characature of disappointment! (Believe it or not, your ol’ mate Big Buff sometimes identifies with these awkward circumstances in the movie where you’re cornered with a lady with nothing to say!)

Other than that, your good ol’ boy Big Buff found himself completely lost inside the entire movie! Sure, the ending may not have been as bloody or well climaxed as in the fine literature, and sure, sometime the movie tended to rush through important developments, but other than that Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince was probably the most important movie I have seen all year long!!! ha-HA!

To conclude: See this movie. See it with one of every members of your family, because there is so much to draw from. Take the scene with Christmas at the Weasley’s, for example… All I could think about was calling Big Buff Sr. and telling him how much I love him!!!

Additionally, when everyone criticizes Harry as someone with paranoid theories about those above him see him as this expendable person, not worth the amount of resources placed upon him, and then he finds himself giggly around his best friend’s sister, one can certainly identify with that internal dialogue we have all had about prioritizing friendship!!! HO-HO!

Until next time, this is your ol’ comrade Big Buff reminding you to stay a student of all things cinema!
