After 18 years on television, the Simpsons are all grown up and finally in movie theaters, in a film that thoroughly proves the material is better suited to a half-hour TV format.

A megadose of the Simpsons — at least in …

It’s long and the plot’s confusing, but Harry Potter fans won’t mind one little bit. In this fifth chapter of the phenomenally successful franchise spawned from J.R. Rowling’s novels, evil hovers provocatively in the lead up to the spectacular confrontation between Daniel Radcliffe’s Harry and Ralph Fiennes’ Lord Voldermort, but the clarity and effectiveness of the storyline suffers by too many subplots. The delights of the fantasy world of the young wizard are intact, yet the freshness is diminished with a dark and occasionally dull colour palette, and the novelty value is considerably depleted.

The London premiere of the fifth film, ‘Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix’ took place on the night of July 3rd at the city’s famous Leicester Square. The atmosphere was truly magical with a Ministry of Magic recreated by the organisers of the premier.

The horrible weather of pouring rain and thunderstorms didn’t keep determined Harry Potter fans away. Many die-hard fans had even camped out over night to ensure they got a great spot to see the stars and maybe even meet them.

I have always been a fan of Adam Sandler. Really liked him in all of his corky movies; Billy Madison, Little Nicky ,The Longest Yard and the latest blockbuster Click….. But even though his acting is beyond words (and thats not always a good thing) , he is still the most hilarious guy you will find in Hollywood. Something about his films always makes you laugh your heart out. Well, this time he is back with yet another comedy package “I now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry” with co-star Kevin James in a Dennis Dugan Film. If you thought the title was unusual then go check out the movie preview, it’s equally different too.

When two testosterone-fueled firemen attempt to register as domestic partners in order to bypass the bureaucratic red tape preventing one of them from naming his own two children as his life-insurance beneficiaries, their low-key ruse turns into headline news in this quirky matrimonial comedy starring Adam Sandler and Kevin James.

In “Harry Potter and the order of the Phoenix”, Harry returns to his fifth year of study at Hogwartz only to discover that much of the wizarding community has been led to believe that the story of the teenager’s recent encounter with the evil Lord Voldemort is a lie, putting Harry’s integrity in question. Worse, the Minster for Magic, Cornelius Fudge, has appointed a new defence against the Dark Arts teacher, the duplicitous Professor Dolores Umbridge. But Professor Umbridge’s “Ministry approved” course of defensive magic leaves the young wizards woefully unprepared to defend themselves against the dark forces threatening them, so at the prompting of his friends Hermione and Ron, Harry is convinced to take matters into his own hands.

You can stop cringing at the idea of another Die Hard installment. Bruce Willis nails it in this fourth go-around, with just as much spectacular action to give any adrenaline junkie a good fix.

The story, too, is just as out-there as only a good Die Hard installment can be. Seems the enemy this time is a slick computer hacker, Thomas Gabriel (Timothy Olyphant), who holds the U.S. hostage by systematically breaking down its digital infrastructure. First, he takes down the transportation grids, then creates panic on the financial market and finally, he shuts off all utilities—gas, electricity, et al. The hackers call it a “firesale” (as in everything must go), but it isn’t as far-fetched as one might think. Of course, what Gabriel doesn’t figure on is one NYPD cop named John McClane (Willis), who inadvertently gets involved when he’s called to pick up Matt Farrell (Justin Long), a young hacker being targeted by Gabriel.

America’s favourite family, The Simpsons are back, this time to hit the big screen. So be prepared for lot and I mean really a lot of Homer, Marge, Lisa, Bart and of course a lot of “Dougggggghhhhh”. Homer Simpson must now save the world from a catastrophe he himself created.

As Matt Groening, the producer of Simpsons Movie noted, “I can’t imagine people look in the TV section of the newspaper and think, ‘I’ll watch this week’s Simpsons because I like the plot.” You just tune in and see what happens. We couldn’t agree more Mr. Groening.

Twentieth Century Fox is fulfilling the wish of many a Simpsons fan by taking America’s favorite family to the cinema–and trailers of Simpsons are already running in theaters. The movie version of cult animated TV series The Simpsons will hit cinema screens in July 2007. It will hit the big screen on 27th July in India. We are pretty much excited to watch the film. And if you are a Simpsons fan I’m sure you are pretty much excited too.

So what are you waiting for. Check out the latest Simpsons movie trailer …..
