Trailers Galore – ‘Hunger Games: Catching Fire’

1 Comment

YESSSSSS!!! Christmas came early last night when Lionsgate dropped the trailer to the second installment of the Hunger Games series, Catching Fire. This book is my favorite in the series so they MUST bring it and from the looks of the trailer it looks like they did. Everyone is giving it from Donald Sutherland to Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson. We also get to see more of Liam Hemsworth’s Gale, who was absent in the first movie. Ahhhh it looks so good. I cannot wait. Check out the trailer below.

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire hits theaters right on time for the Thanksgiving holidays, November 22, 2013.

Movies Out This Friday The 13th Weekend

Leave a comment

So I’m a little late with this but whatever. Friday the 13th is considered a day of bad luck as well as one where we get our horror fix at the movies. This weekend is no exception as this Friday the thirteenth we get the release of  two horror movies, Cabin In The Woods and Detention.

Cabin In The Woods is a movie written by Joss Whedon (Buffy The Vampire Slayer) and Drew Goddard (Cloverfield) and directed by Goddard. It was a smorgasbord of everything you could think of from horror movies minus the torture porn stuff that we usually see in these kinds of movies. Don’t get me wrong, It still had plenty of killing and blood. The way the movie starts lets the audience in that something is going to be something different about  this movie. You aren’t sure what but you are ready. Then it goes into the clichéd horror story that we’ve all seen before. 5 college kids go on a road trip to an isolated cabin for the weekend and the killing begins. After that you are in for the most awesome ride. The movie to me wasn’t necessarily scary but there was so much going on that the entire time you just watch thinking this is so awesome. It reminded me of the horror films from the 80’s that were funny, witty and scary all at the same time. I just love Joss Whedon so much. This movie was the first horror movie that I’ve liked in a long time. Check it out in theaters now.

Detention is a high school slasher movie which stars The Hunger Games’ Josh Hutcherson, Dane Cook (Waiting, Dan In Real Life) and Shanley Caswell. It’s about a group of kids at Grizzly Lake High School who are thinking about one thing, Prom. They soon find out that a serial killer is on the loose and now they must figure out who’s trying to

kill them.  This movie is insane. There are so many scenes in it that felt like they came from a bunch of different movies. I thought the movie was ok. Really random. The thing I really liked about the movie was the soundtrack. It had me dancing in my seat and made me want to watch some of the old Backstreet Boys videos. This one I would save for the Redbox but if you must, Detention is in theaters now.

Trailers Galore

A ton of trailers for different movies and shows came out in the past few days. Here are some of the big ones.

Tom Cruise in the musical Rock of Ages

The movie has a whole hell of a lot of people in it from Mary J Blige, Julianne Hough, Alec Baldwin to Russell Brand, Paul Giamatti and Malin Akerman. Its just looks like a huge disaster and I’m not sure how this is going to pan out especially with Julianne Hough in the mix. She’s just such a bad actress. See for yourself.

Rock of Ages opens June 15, 2012.

True Blood Teaser Clip

The residents of Bon Temps will be returning this summer and in order to whet your appetites before the premiere, HBO sent out this teaser clip. It looks even crazier than last season’s and last season was nuts. Hopefully it be a great one since it’ll be Alan Ball’s last one as showrunner.

Hunger Games

3 Comments

I’m sure people are getting tired of all the hype that has been around The Hunger Games for over a year now. Well the hype is warranted. I read Suzanne Collins’ Hunger Games trilogy last year when a two of my co-workers (Hey Lauren and Steph) couldn’t believe I hadn’t read them. I borrowed the books and I loved them. They were just so much fun to read and quite the page turners. So when I heard the movie was getting made, I was very much invested in who they would cast as the characters from this book and was very much obsessed with every casting announcement they made.

After all the hype and crazy promo for this movie, it came out this weekend and I actually went and spent my 12 hard-earned dollars on it. Everyone else seemed to go spend their money on it as well since it pulled in $155 million this weekend. I thought it was a good movie. I was almost completely satisfied with it. Anyone who sees a screen version of a book they have read will never be completely satisfied with the finished product. So with that I went in just trying to watch this movie like I would any other one.

The movie was good. Jennifer Lawrence (X-Men: First Class; Winter’s Bone) ughh I just love her. I think she was the perfect Katniss. I can’t even think of what other actress could have portrayed her. I also liked Josh Hutcherson (Bridge to Terabithia; The Kids Are Alright) as Peeta. He was just what I had imagined. Peeta in books was taller though but that is a small detail that I can get past. Lenny Kravitz as Cinna, I thought was good but my love for Lenny could have clouded any kind of unbiased look at his acting that I had. He was just so beautiful. I just gosh. That man hasn’t aged a day in 20 yrs. The whole cast was pretty good overall.

I liked the look of the movie as well. I think the styling overall and everyone’s look was pretty good except for the fire dress. Huge letdown.  Gosh Katniss looked so ridiculous twirling in that thing. Other than that I was good with it. I can’t wait until the next movie, Catching Fire. In the words of Penny Hartz from Happy Endings, It’s gonna be AH-MAH-ZING!!!! While I wait until the second movie, I shall just reread the trilogy again.

Were you one of the many that watched this weekend? What did you think?

Hunger Games Trailer

Leave a comment

OMG The Hunger Games trailer premiered today on Good Morning America and it is just as awesome and amazing as I thought it would be. If you are not familiar with Suzanne Collins’ series you need to get on it. The story is set  sometime in the future after North America has destroyed and becomes known as “Panem.” It consist of a rich Capitol and 12 poorer districts that are under the rule of the Capitol. There were formerly 13 districts but one rebelled and got destroyed and as punishment for this rebellion the Capitol pulls a boy and girl ages 12 -18 from each district in a lottery and forces them to compete in the Hunger Games. The games are a televised event where these children fight to the dead until there is one victor. The winner gets and their district gets heavily rewarded. The trilogy consists of the books, The Hunger Games, Catching Fire, and Mockingjay. The film version of the first book started filming this year and stars Jennifer Lawrence (Winter’s Bone, X-Men: First Class) as our main heroine, Katniss Evergreen, Josh Hutcherson (The Kids Are Al Right, Bridge To Terabithia) as Peeta Mellark. Others in the cast include Lenny Kravitz (Precious), Liam Hemsworth (The Last Song, Thor’s brother, Miley Cyrus’ boyfriend), Elizabeth Banks (Definitely Maybe, Role Models, 40 Year Old Virgin), Stanley Tucci (Lovely Bones, Julie & Julia, The Devil Wears Prada), Woody Harrelson (Zombieland, The People vs Larry Flynt, The Messenger), and Wes Bentley(American Beauty, Four Feathers). I will definitely be seeing this movie and I’ll probably actually pay for it that’s how much I’m looking forward to this. Here is the trailer.

The Hunger Games opens nationwide March 23rd, 2012.
