Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban Review
by Ryan Ellis

by Karina Montgomery (Rating: 5/5)
Hot damn! Now that's what I'm talking about. For the record, the companions who had not read the books (all male) thought the movie was "just fine." The female companions (including myself) who had read the books were transported in ecstasy....more

by Jon Popick (Rating: 9/10)

For what it's worth, I enjoyed the first two Harry Potter films, despite the fact that they were nothing more than point-by-point regurgitations of J.K. Rowling's bestselling novels. Special effects abounded, some of which served no purpose other than...more
