What's it about?

Voldemort is tightening his grip on both the Muggle and wizarding worlds and Hogwarts is no longer the safe haven it once was. Harry suspects that dangers may even lie within the castle, but Dumbledore is more intent upon preparing him for the final battle that he knows is fast approaching. Together they work to find the key to unlock Voldemort's defenses and, to this end, Dumbledore recruits his old friend and colleague, the well-connected and unsuspecting bon vivant Professor Horace Slughorn, whom he believes holds crucial information. Meanwhile, the students are under attack from a very different adversary as teenage hormones rage across the ramparts. Harry finds himself more and more drawn to Ginny, but so is Dean Thomas. And Lavender Brown has decided that Ron is the one for her, only she hadn’t counted on Romilda Vane's chocolates! And then there's Hermione, simpering with jealously but determined not to show her feelings. As romance blossoms, one student remains aloof. He is determined to make his mark, albeit a dark one. Love is in the air, but tragedy lies ahead and Hogwarts may never be the same again.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince review (4.5 out of 5). It will rank as one of the best Harry Potter films.

I have liked all of the Harry Potter movies to various degrees. “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” is no exception. It is a worthy entry in the Harry Potter canon and sets up nicely the future battle with Lord Voldemort.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince cashes in $79 million weekend take

Warner Bros. Pictures' "Harry Potter & The Half-Blood Prince" continued to impress at the box office this weekend with an estimated $79.4 million take. "Half-Blood Prince," the sixth offering of the franchise debuted on Wednesday with a record-breaking $22.2 million from midnight showings alone before ending the day with $58 million pulled in. Film has now grossed just under $160 million.

This is the second lowest opening for the franchise, besting the previous film "Harry Potter & The Order of the Phoenix" but "low" has nothing to do with it. Almost every previous film has posted over from worldwide numbers, bringing the total worldwide take of the franchise to now over $4.48 billion. With the new "Potter" now sitting at $396 million worldwide, the franchise will easily pass the $5 billion mark, a remarkable feat for the J.K. Rowling adaptations.

Second-placed "Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs" kept going strongly with a small 36% change when posting $17.7 million in its third weekend at play. The animated comedy/adventure has amassed over $152 million thus far.

Parmount Pictures' Gargantuan "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" passed the $350 million mark with ease with a third-placed $13.7 million grossed in it's fourth weekend at play.

Taking the biggest box office beating of all films was "Brüno." The film  turned in $8.37 million, showing a huge drop of 73% in it's sophomore weekend. Total for the Sacha Baron Cohen laffer is now at $49.5 million.

Successful crowd-pleasing male comedy "The Hangover" barely moved with a slight 16% change in its seventh weekend with $8.31 earned and may turn the tables on "Brüno" when actual figures come in on Monday night.

UPDATE: Batman 3 (2011-2012)

The third film which might be filmed entirely in the IMAX format is a holding pattern. That's until the studio makes an official announcement about the script being finished and Christoper Nolan signing on to direct. It's interesting to see the effort Nolan is putting into Inception an original film concept of his. I expect Nolan to start pre-production on Batman 3 after the summer. Hopefully Jonathan Nolan and David S. Goyer will have a finished script by then.


Of course it's assumed that Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman and Micheal Cane will return along with Christian Bale.

Some interesting titles for the film have been tossed around online.

The Prince of Gotham
The Caped Crusader
The Dark Knight Returns

CASTING THOUGHTS


Guy Pearce (Memento, Proposition) as Roman Sionis (Black Mask): One odd thing about Black Mask is that he's actually an enemy of Bruce Wayne and not Batman. It could make for some interesting conflicts within the personal life of Bruce. Sionis is given the responsibility of running his father's company after his death. He is almost running it into the ground and blames Wayne Corp and more importantly Bruce Wayne for his business failures.


Daniel Day Lewis (There Will Be Blood) as Edward Nigma (The Riddler): I've heard some really good takes on updating the Riddler. Some include turning him into serial killer and cyberpunk terrorist. I could see Nigma being hired by Sionis to spy on Wayne Corp's hard drives to steal projects and information. This leads Nigma to evidence that has Wayne Corp providing The Batman with weapons and tech.


Cate Blanchett (The Good German, Benjamin Button) as Pamela Lillian Isley (Poison Ivy): I see Isley as a political environmental activist who will go to any lengths to protect the planet. Along with organizing violent riots during protests of the companies, terrorizing Gotham and Wayne Corp. Going after Wayne Corporate members for their involvement in the destruction of the planet, including Lucius Fox and Bruce Wayne. This could led to the hiring of personal bodyguard Sasha Bordeaux.


Bob Hoskins (Long Good Friday) as Oswald Copperpot (Penguin): There are few ways this villain could go. One is to have him as an international arms dealer with ties to mercenaries like Bane and Floyd Lawton (Deadshot). Another is to have him running for mayor and all the seedy deals between him the mob and Rupert Thorne.

SUPPORTING CHARACTERS


Carey Mulligan (An Education) as Selina Kyle (Catwoman)


Marion Cotillard (Public Enemies) as Sasha Bordeaux


Micheal Frssender (Hunger, Inglourious Basterds) as Thomas Elliot (Hush)


Casey Affleck (Gone Baby Gone, The Killer Inside) as Floyd Lawton (Deadshot)


Danny Trejo (Heat) as Bane


Ray Winstone (Departed, Edge of Darkness) as Detective Harvey Bullock



Marisa Tomei (Wrestler, Before The Devil Knows You're Dead) as Detective Renee Montoya


Reese Witherspoon as Dr. Harleen Quinnzel (Harley Quinn): I doubt we'll ever see Joker's girlfriend in full makeup. I also don't count out seeing Dr. Quinzzel playing role in the next film.


Emma Watson as Barbra Gordon: I don't expect to see Barbra ever wear a mask in a Nolan film. I haven't ruled out seeing Barbra herself making an appearance and getting into trouble.
