I love Harry Potter. I pre-ordered every single book on Amazon and then tore into the packages as soon as they showed up on my doorstep. I then devoted the rest of the day pouring through the book, only to finish late at night with bags under my eyes the next morning.

Is the world coming to an end? Hollywood would like us to think so.

I went to go see a movie at Savoy 16 on Saturday night, and in the 20 minutes before the film, I saw not one but two previews relating to the theory that the world will end in 2012.

This past summer, all but a couple of my friends were always off in foreign countries or playing basketball or doing other silly things that left me pretty darn bored. So my friend Leslie Hodges and I spent most of the summer going to the movies.
