One ordinary day, I walked into a Radio City store in Shangri-La Plaza, penniless, without any intentions but to kill time. I was running my fingers through the closely-packed bundles of the VCDs on sale when surprisingly, I found the store’s sole copy of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.

Ads  of  Charlie and the Chocolate Factory  should come with a warning "See at your own risk" to children and all those who have had the opportunity to watch the first film version Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory  on video during these past three decades. This is because this new movie will destroy whatever ideas they have developed and nurtured over the years about the story.

When I saw Charlie and the Chocolate Factory therefore, I was more on the lookout for those yummy-to-look-at confectionaries rather than finding out if director Tim Burton had remained faithful to the Roald Dahl book.

Yes, talking about the new Harry Potter book is like discussing last year’s American Idol contestants: it’s old news already. But I’m a slow reader, so bear with me. What took my twenty-something sister-in-law less than one night to finish took me – in tiny, chapter-by-chapter nibbles – about three weeks. I guess that means Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince wasn’t a real page-turner for me.
