I'm not a huge fan of the Harry Potter films, but what were they supposed to do though with Order of the Phoenix, have a five hour film? It's the largest book! Though god knows the book of Order of the Phoenix could have done with some editing anyway in the first place.

Anyway I can't wait for Lost and the Doctor Who specials this year. And as for films, the new Pixar film Up, because it's Pixar.

Obviously they couldn't fit in the entire plot, but they made the shortest film out of the longest book. That's clearly ridiculous.

You must have been tired.

Movies:

9 based off the short film.
The Road with Viggo Mortensen
Pixar's Up
Where the Wild Things Are

TV:
Lost
Battlestar Galactica

The two main things I'm looking forward to are the movie adaptations of two of my absolute favourite children's books: The Fantastic Mr. Fox, and Where the Wild Things Are. Actually, make that two of my favourite books overall. I don't know how many times I've read each.

I'm also looking forward to seeing:
Pixar's Up
Miyazaki's Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea
Jennifer's Body (written by Diablo Cody of Juno fame)
Woody Allen's Whatever Works
Coen brothers' A Serious Man
Funny People (yeah I know it has Adam Sandler but it also has Judd Apatow and Seth Rogen so shut up)
Public Enemies (Depp vs. Bale is just too exciting to pass up)
