Closed Captioned In this adaptation of the third book in J.K. Rowling's best-selling series, Harry Potter (Danielle Radcliffe) and his best friends Hermoine (Emma Watson) and Ron (Rupert Grint), must face the dangerous convict Sirius Black (Gary Oldman), who has ties with their enemy Lord Voldemort. The spectacular fantasy-adventure action of the earlier movies (SORCERER'S STONE and CHAMBER OF SECRETS) is once again presented here, as Alfonso Cuaron lends his unique directorial style to recreating Rowling's magical story on celluloid. A scarier, darker story than the first two, this one concerns the mystery behind why Sirius Black is tracking Harry Potter. Slowly Harry and his friends unravel the clues, and learn secrets about Harry's parents that had all along been hidden from him. Meanwhile, because the deranged Sirius poses a threat to all students at Hogwarts, the school enlists a group of daunting black ghosts called Dementors to stand guard. These flying ghouls have a powerful effect on Harry and frighten him to his core. Yet even these chilling obstacles don't dampen the spirits of the youthful wizards, who meet Buckbeak--a giant flying hawk-horse creature, welcome a new dark arts teacher (David Thewlis) and a new divination teacher (Emma Thompson), and are still determined to beat the rival Slytherin team in Quidditch. HARRY POTTER AND THE PRISONER OF AZKABAN offers a visually stunning interpretation of the revered book, and will thrill viewers with its special effects, it's penetrating John Williams score, and its superb performances. Harry Potter And The Prisoner Of Azkaban Reviews: "[T]he first movie in the series with fear and wonder in its bones, and genuine fun, too....The whole movie zips along with a matter-of-fact cleverness that stays a step ahead of you."-- Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly "Not only is this dazzler by far the best and most thrilling of the three Harry Potter movies to date, it's a film that can stand on its own..."
-- Peter Travers, Rolling Stone "This is surely the most interesting of the three Potter movies....It feels at once more dangerous, more thoroughly enchanted and more real."-- A. O. Scott, New York Times "The magic here works not just on the level of weird and wonderful ghosts and monsters but through a series of haunting images that draw attention to key themes and a breadth of imagination..."
-- Vicky Wilson, Sight and Sound "Alfonso Cuaron directs for mood, and the result is the most satisfying HARRY to date."-- Mike Clark, USA Today "[Cuaron] brought a new style and intelligence to Hogwarts."-- Susan King, Los Angeles Times Harry Potter And The Prisoner Of Azkaban Harry Potter And The Prisoner Of Azkaban Video Harry Potter And The Prisoner Of Azkaban Movie Review  Great

Great movie with a few flaws.
Well for all Harry Potter fans old and young alike, this is another great installment. The movie itself is almost a perfect reprensentation of the book. Sadly the Prisoner of Azkaban was one that I wasn't overly impressed with. All in all it was too corney and predictable compared to some of Rawlings other works. As for the movie itself the acting is top notch, they did a great job in replaceing Dumbledores actor. The music is the same fare, but why change something that doesnt need changing. If it wasnt for the predictable storyline I would have given it a 5. But then again, the movie is a 5, its the book thats mediocore.. so it depends on how you look at it.

Best of the three films yet! Great DVD with great extras, like interviews with differnet members of the cast, not just the main three, Magic you may have missed and more.
Beautiful scenery and great storytelling, Cuaron does a fantastic job taking the most important elements from the book and keeps the movie extremely entertaining. It will take several viewings to catch loads of things you missed going on in the background. Wonderful attention to detail that you didn't quite get from the first two films - highly recommend to anyone, preferrably if they have seen the first two films.

Tenants of a slum building need all the help they can get when their evil landlord threatens to evict them and raze their building in a fit of 1980s-style greed. Unexpected help arrives in the form of small extraterrestrial robot-like creatures who come to town and cleverly join the battle. Real-life husband and wife team Hume Cronyn and Jessica Tandy lead the tenement dwellers in a Capra-meets-Spielberg touch.

This adventurous space tale stars Ethan Hawke (in his film debut at the age of 14) and young star River Phoenix as misfit best friends whose dreams of space travel become a reality when they create an interplanetary spacecraft in their homemade laboratory. Ben Crandall (Hawke) is a young visionary who dreams of space travel while watching late-night B monster movies, pouring over comic books, and playing Galaga in the confines of his bedroom. But one night he has a vivid dream of flying over a space-like circuit board and shares his visions with his best friend Wolfgang (Phoenix), a young scientific genius who is able to translate his dreams into a complex computer program that actually works. With the help of their new friend (Jason Presson), they create a homemade spacecraft and embark on a secret adventure to another galaxy where they find that things are not always as different as they seem. EXPLORERS features highly imaginative special effects and entertaining space creations from George Lucas' Industrial Light and Magic.
