Starz Studios: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 / The Next Three Days / Made In Dagenham (2010)

This 12-min Starz featurette introduces six movies: Morning Glory (2.5 min), The Next Three Days (2 min), Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 (1.5 min), Made in Dagenham (1.5 min), Morning (1.5 min), and Tangled (1.5 min). All six films are presented in sufficient detail to give a sense of their substance and a feel for their actors' take on the story. I liked every presentation -- though Tangled's was fluffy instead of dramatic. I plan to see all six films but Morning Glory and The Next Three Days now more than previously. I had not heard of Morning, an art-house film in which real-life husband and wife Leland Orser and Jeanne Tripplehorn play a married couple struggling with loss and grief. A good no-nonsense introduction to all six films. 3.5 stars.
