FILM: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

Count me among those who weren’t at all disappointed in this film. In fact, I had a great time! But did this film surprise me in any way? Not once. A mild critique, but I found it ironic that a film about young wizards lacked a certain magic. Remember, Warner Bros. had a “contest” among big-name directors, making them try out for the job, after Steven Spielberg passed? I sure wish Terry Gilliam (ex-Python, directed “Brazil,” etc.) had won. Newsweek says he was J. K. Rowling’s pick, but the studio went with the ultra-safe Chris Columbus, because “Home Alone” and “Bicentennial Man” were just so magical! Still, I’ll be there for “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets” next fall. And you will too.
