Finally, I was able to watch Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince yesterday! And boy was the movie awesome! I haven’t read the book yet, though, I’ve wanted to so many times but I just could not find the time. The movie was not really what I’ve expected. I must admit that I was expecting more of the action we’ve seen in the earlier Harry Potter movies but unfortunately, Voldemort’s character didn’t show up in the movie which I think is one of the movie’s drawbacks.

What I like about the movie was it’s usual magical semblance, stunning cinematography, and its unparalleled characters. Harry and Ginny’s romance is just an added bonus. I just loved the part when Ginny fought her way through a blazing fire when Harry was going after Bellatrix Lestrange oblivious to the fact that he’s obviously no match for the evil Bellatrix and the Death Eaters. I must admit I felt sad when Dumbledore was murdered by Professor Severus Snape. I knew that this scene would happen but I guess I’m just not fond of watching evil triumph over good. For those who haven’t watched the movie I suggest for you to do so. You’ll definitely be missing out.

Here’s an overview of the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince movie from fandango.com. Let’s set aside Las Vegas Show Tickets for now.

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, simmering with jealously but determined not to show her feelings.

Recently the Vatican praised the new Harry Potter movie “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” over its clear representation of good vs. evil. The movie also received a two thumbs-up from the Vatican newspaper L’Osservatore Romano on its display of adolescent love. The newspaper further stipulates that the movie achieved the correct balance and made the stars more credible to its audience.

Here’s a video in YouTube highlighting Sahel Kazemi’s DUI arrest the day before she allegedly purchased the gun she used to kill Steve McNair.

On this video, Kazemi was forced to take a field sobriety test to check if she was drunk. She obviously failed the test as shown on this video. Steve McNair was with her during the arrest but the cops allowed him to leave in a taxi along with another man. McNair was said to have showed up in jail to post bail for Kazemi.

Here are photos of Steve McNair and Sahel Kazemi prior the murder.

It had been confirmed by the Nashville Police that ex-NFL quarterback, Steve McNair was shot dead by his 20-year old girlfriend Sahel Kazemi. The police concluded that McNair was asleep on his sofa when Kazemi shot him four times before killing herself with a single gunshot wound to her head.

Their bodies were first discovered by Wayne Neely who was a friend of McNair who in turn called Robert Gaddy, McNair’s college teammate at Alcorn State. A confused and disoriented Gaddy was first to call 911 to report the dead bodies of McNair and Kazemi.

The evidence of the crime scene clearly pointed to a murder-suicide situation. The police said their findings were based on the appearance of the crime scene, evidence, autopsy reports and laboratory results. Furthermore, authorities believed that the Mcnair was seated on the sofa fast asleep when Kazemi shot him first in the right temple followed by two shots in the chest before finally shooting him in the left temple. Kazemi tried to position herself next to McNair before shooting herself once in the right temple.

The murder weapon that was found underneath Kazemi’s dead body was purchased from a private owner last Thursday night, not long after she was busted for DUI in her SUV with McNair.

McNair and Kazemi had been dating for several months. But lately, the 20-year old had been stressed out with mounting debts on the two cars bought by McNair including a Cadillac Escalade and the cost of her apartment doubling since her roommate was moving out. Kazemi was also under the suspicion that McNair was having another affair which only made the situation much worse. It was reported that she was able to track down the woman, the ex-NFL quarterback was seeing but did not attempt to confront her.

As reported, that “she had become very distraught and on two occasions she told friends and associates that her life was all messed up and that she was going to end it all.”

On the same day Kazemi purchased the gun, she placed an ad in Craigslist selling all their furniture. Her relatives thought she was selling her belongings because she thought she was moving in with McNair.

McNair who was 36 years old when he died is a four-time Pro Bowl quarterback for the Tennessee Titans. He was married to Mechelle Cartwright and had four sons. McNair’s wife never knew of his affair with Kazemi until the news of their death.

True Blood

Which is the better Love between Human and Vampire story? Recently, HBO aired its own vampire series entitled “True Blood”, September 7 of last year. True Blood was based on Charlaine Harris’ The Southern Vampire Mysteries.Their own version of passionate love between a vampire and human is far more mature, sexy and wildly adult compared to Stephanie Meyers Twilight Saga. Although, we’ve heard about Bella Swan and Edward Cullen’s forbidden love, True Blood also centers around Sookie Stackhouse and vampire Bill Compton’s passionate love affair. Sookie, a telepathic bar waitress, meets the mysterious Bill Compton, as she saves him from a a couple of vampire slayers. Though, there may be huge differences between True Blood and the Twilight Saga, their stories still captivates a huge population of teenagers and adult alike. It seems that movies, books and even TV series involving vampires are considered hot and definitely something we don’t want to miss.
