First the still images, now the trailer. There’s some cool stuff coming out of Japan on the Half-Blood front.

A Japanese fansite got its hands on a super crazy amount of new Harry Potter images. Hopefully your internet tubes reach all the way to Asia.

To hell with Harry Potter’s battle with Voldemort, critics are now fearing that an economic depression may cast a dark spell over the film franchise.

How (puke-colored) green was our valley in 2008? I offer ten instances in film that did not live up to a certain amount of hype, didn’t get the credit they deserved, or just flat-out disappointed the general public.

A ton of dark images, Ron looking like he huffed paint, Malfoy being angsty in front of a mirror, Harry battling an unshown coward, girls flirting with Potter because he’s the Chosen One and (finally) some more Quidditch.

Listen here, Muggles, little Ron Weasley isn’t about to be pushed around any longer. In fact, he cares not that Harry Potter himself, Daniel Radcliffe, let it all hang out in the Broadway show “Equus.” He is going to kick things up a notch — he’s takin’ it to the streets.

I am going to file this under “Humor” but it is more along the lines of “mildly funny, worth a look on a slow day.” So, if you are having a slow day and you dig a laugh at the expense of Harry Potter, this should be right up your alley.

Who can’t recite that stupid warning from heart? Who hasn’t taken notice of that thing? Who doesn’t known that copyright infringement is punishable by up to five years in jail and a $250,000 fine?

Yes, it’s nearly that time again! Harry Potter is returning in Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. Empire Magazine has a cover of Harry determined and bloodied, ready to go to battle for his beloved Hogwarts.

If you “Wanted” a movie that’s based on the source, but found out it’s only loosely associated, then you’ve come to the right place to gripe.

For those who have been living under a rock for the last couple of months, Twilight is coming, so get ready. The teen angst supernatural drama features vampires, werewolves (well, not yet) and a young girl called Bella Swan (played by Kristen Stewart) who falls head over heels with one of the dazzling undead is an adaptation of one of the most popular young adult books since Harry Potter, and we have two oh so pretty new pictures of eternal beings smashing the shite out of each other. Is she really worth it?

With the much anticipated release of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull due out this week, we have to ask ourselves this question: Will a fourth installment into the series be welcomed with open arms or met with criticism?

When it comes to the spectacle of the piece, it’s an epic family film. It’s a wonderful journey, and I’m very anxious to view it again.

J.J. Abrams, like many of the people his age and under, grew up a Star Wars fanatic. So why, then, is a Yoda lover filming Spock?

I consider myself to be pretty much in tune with pop culture, at least as far a movies go. But just this week, something came out of nowhere and smacked me upside the head. That thing was Twilight and the buzz surrounding this book-turned-movie phenomenon.

Although news of Twilight has swept across the internet, there are many still out there who have no idea what this movie could possibly be. So, in order to get people up to speed, we here at FSR are pleased to offer an introduction to what could possibly be the next big adaptation.

The good news is that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows has announced a release date. The bad news is that, after this year’s Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, fans will have to wait two years sans the lightening-scarred sorcerer.

The cash cow that is Harry Potter just got even bigger.

From Columbus, Ohio to Austin, Texas to movies to party… It was a long day 1 (alright, days 1-3, but who’s counting).

A single film may have been just fine for the first few Potter films, the last book may need 2 movies to get it all out there.
