Kymera's Harry Potter Wand Remote Control Review

WHO WILL LOVE THE HARRY POTTER REMOTE CONTROL WAND?

Harry Potter fans are going to love this television remote control. Imagine lounging on the couch and, with a flourish of your wand, changing the channel.

A novelty gift item that is a perfect Christmas gift idea for fans of Harry Potter, wizardry and magic lovers everywhere. Kymera's wand remote control allows you to be the wizard. You can master any of the items in your home for which you have a remote control including but not limited to your television, ceiling fans and lighting. The wand will memorize up to thirteen remote control codes and allow you to use them according to your gestures. You will be able to turn things on and off as well as up and down.

Your wand will arrive packaged in a beautiful box with detailed instructions. Mugglenet.com, the fan website devoted to all things Harry Potter, finished their discussion with, "The Kymera magic wand is truly a puzzle piece of engineering." I agree. Read on to decide what YOU think.

The technology inside the wand is a universal remote control chip, which works in the same manner as any universal remote control.

I believe that user reviews are a great way to judge the quality of a product. K. Schlitz Nanney says that she purchased this remote control or magic wand for her husband who loves Harry Potter and remote controls. He was pleased and set about teaching it the commands it needed to know right away. She finds it a bit hard to get used to but she is not enthralled with HP the way he is. He has a lot of fun with it and enjoys showing it off to guests. It arrived in a lovely box which can be used to store and to display the wand. Nanney recommends Kymera's magic wand for anyone who loves magic and remote controls.

Frequency Cast says that this is an easy-to-use remote control. You program it to do what you want - like turning the television on or off and changing the volume and channel.

Please note that this review was written in 2010. I do not know how it will work with today's smart televisions.

The Best Old Movies for Families: A Guide to Watching Together

Reviewers highly recommend The Best Old Movies for Families: A Guide to Watching Together. This book is a guide to older movies that breaks them down into three age ranges:

FOR THE LITTLE ONES AGED 3-6: This section includes fast moving movies that are fairly simple but not dumbed down. This section would include movies like Singin' in the Rain and Bringing Up Baby.

FOR THE ONES IN BETWEEN AGED 7-12: This section includes great stories with the characters in simple situations that turn out not to be quite so simple. This section includes movies like The African Queen and Some Like It Hot do the job well.

FOR THE OLDER ONES AGED 13+: This section includes movies that relate to contemporary movies and compares movies. For instance, without Alfred Hitchcock's work, there might be no Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

Liz & Dick: Elizabeth Taylor & Richard Burton Movie

THE LOVE LIFE OF ELIZABETH TAYLOR AND RICHARD BURTON

Liz & Dick celebrates the scandal and the marriage of the century. It tells the rocky story of the love between Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. The story was written by Christopher Monger and stars Lindsay Lohan as Elizabeth Taylor and Grant Bowler as Richard Burton and premiered as a made-for-television movie on Lifetime on November 25, 2012.

Despite a story that still mesmerizes people today, the movie was not so warmly received. I watched it and would have to agree with the majority of comments that it was not a very successful movie. However, if you are a big fan of either Taylor or Burton, you might want to give it a watch anyway...

REVIEWS OF LIZ & DICK 

The Hollywood Reporter says that "it should come as no great surprise that Lifetime’s Liz & Dick movie starring Lindsay Lohan is spectacularly bad. After all, it’s Lohan, more memorable in the tabloids than she ever was as an actress.

On Huff Post, Maureen Ryan says, "Oh Lord, What Have They Done?" It's easy to come up with a list of a few things a movie about Elizabeth Taylor-Richard Burton should do and this movie does absolutely none of these things. All it really does is make you sad about what's become of Lindsay Lohan.

The New Yorker says that Lohan is now in the unenviable position of the classic cartoon character who dashes over the edge of the cliff and stays in midair, spinning her legs madly but not falling, and, of all things, the flimsy and inadequate platform called “Liz and Dick”

Liz and Dick and Lindsay: Lohan made this Taylor biopic her own | Emma G Keller | Film | The Guardia

Finally, Emma G Keller says on The Guardian that Lohan made this Taylor biopic her own elaborating by saying Lindsay Lohan's performance as Elizabeth Taylor was universally panned, but it saw art imitate life to perfection.
