    Review: ‘Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone’ in concert

    by W. Andrew Powell June 28, 2017
    by W. Andrew Powell June 28, 2017

    Movie scores are magic. Most of the time, we only experience that spellbinding effect from the other end of a speaker, months or even years after the orchestra has recorded them. Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone In Concert is one of those rare events though that brings the magic alive, pairing the movie that started the film franchise with a live orchestra playing John Williams’ beautiful score right in front of you.

    DVD Tuesday: Top ten time travel movies

    by W. Andrew Powell July 19, 2011
    by W. Andrew Powell July 19, 2011

    In honour of next week’s release of Source Code on DVD and Blu-ray, and because it’s one of my favorite topics, this week for DVD Tuesday I’m counting down the ten best time travel movies. From science fiction, action, adventure, and horror, to comedy, and even a romantic comedy or two, these movies cover almost every genre, and I’m ranking them not just on how great the movie is, but also, how well they approach a time travel story.

    The other reason I love Warner Bros.

    by W. Andrew Powell January 21, 2011
    by W. Andrew Powell January 21, 2011

    Call me a media sucker, but I love a good event, and frankly, not many people throw an event as well as the folks at Warner Bros. Home Entertainment here in Canada. Last Thursday they threw an awards-themed celebration to promote their latest lineup of DVD and Blu-ray releases, and I can happily say I was pleasantly wined and dined by the end of the night.

    Harry Potter… the music video?

    by W. Andrew Powell July 21, 2009
    by W. Andrew Powell July 21, 2009

    Okay, this is officially my last Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince coverage, at least for the forseeable future, but I had to pass this along.

    Going above and beyond the normal call of duty for film promo material, here’s Josh Powell‘s video for “Big Beat Repeat”, which appears on the film’s soundtrack.
