I didn't like the first half of the seventh Harry Potter movie. At all. That the exact same cast and crew could create a movie as taut, exciting and expedient as its first half was meandering and dull must count as a bigger feat of magic than any pupil attending Hogwart's has ever summoned.
"Gone With The Wind," "The Godfather" and "The Wizard of Oz" are among the popular movies that started as a book. But there are far more films that flopped in transition. So, why is it that the book is often better than the movie?
After 15 years, four million records sold and six top 10 singles, the band Tonic is nowhere near ready to throw in the towel. Call it overachieving, but lead singer Emerson Hart says even after all they've accomplished, they still have more to say -- and more to explore.

If you were fortunate enough to catch Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris, which both me and WCCO-TV's Mark Rosen enjoyed, then you couldn't help but notice the movie's infatuation with the artists and writers of the 1920s.
Pointing out the disparity between a finely crafted drama which excels in every conceivable level one could expect from great movies and two formulaic summertime cash-grabs bereft of originality, nuance and (more to the point) entertainment value is probably unfair. So be it.
The "Fireworks" will have to wait while Katy Perry recovers from a bout of food poisoning.
When the Basilica Block Party kicks off its 17th annual event this weekend, a local band with a soul-stirring sound will make its St. Mary debut.
