Hunger Games; Movie Review

The Hunger Games Movie
Released; March 23 2012
Watched; March 23 2012, 9:45 PM
Length of Movie; 142 mins.
Rated; PG-13
Starring; Jennifer Lawrence, Liam Hemsworth, and Josh Hutcherson.
Movie Summery; In a not-too-distant future, North America has collapsed, weakened by drought, fire, famine, and war to be replaced by Panem, a country divided into the Capitol and 12 districts. Each year two young representatives from each district are selected by lottery to participate in The Hunger Games. Part entertainment, part brutal intimidation of the subjugated districts, the televised games are broadcast throughout Panem. The 24 participants are forced to eliminate their competitors, literally, with all citizens required to watch. When 16-year-old Katniss' young sister, Prim, is selected as the mining district's female representative, Katniss volunteers to take her place. She and her male counterpart Peeta, will be pitted against bigger, stronger representatives who have trained for this their whole lives.

   Well...That was...Eeeeeeggh.
   I'm going to be as kind as I can, please forgive me if this turns into a rant.
   I think they did a good job with the settings and the castings for the tributes. Jennifer Lawrence did an okay job as Katniss, because I understand it can be a hard roll to play. Josh Hutcherson could have done better. Liam was good...he didn't really say much though. Willow Shields (Primrose Everdeen) did a good job with her part.
   So to me, it seemed really rushed. They cut and changed so much from the book, it was very disappointing. I think if you didn't read the books you would be lost for half of it.
   First of all, the muttations? Those dogs at the end? What the heck?! They were cool and all, but they were supposed to look like the dead tributes. Did they? No. I admit the way they brought it in was cool too, but...
   Now...Rue's death. People were crying and I was all like...WHAT? THAT'S IT? Basically Katniss teams up with Rue, they talk, they sleep, they make a plan, they complete the plan, Rue dies. They should have played that out a bit more! Why are we supposed to feel sorry for this girl she met and hung around for two whole days? I didn't feel any connection. Plus, the romance? That was horrible! They kissed like twice. Star-crossed lovers my butt.
   I think you should watch the movie yourself. Don't take my word for it. Just because it disappointed me, doesn't mean it will disappoint you. My expectations were too high, because I have an over-active imagination, when it comes to books. Which made it hard to enjoy the movie like I did the books.
   Don't get me wrong, I'd watch it again, but as a fan of the books I was disappointed. I feel sorry for the fans who were living for the movie to come out.

My Rating;

Three Lightning Bolts out of five.

Interesting fact; The Hunger Games TRILOGY is being made into FOUR movies. How they plan on pulling that off, I'm not quite sure.

So yeah...I'm hoping they do better for the second movie. They better pick someone good for Finnick.

Thank You.

ATTENTION STAR WARS FANS!

 Totally awesomondo Star Wars song Thing.

   This guy doesn't actually sing it, the four voices belong to talented guys from Mousebutter. But he is super entertaining! His shirts are Awesomeness! You can actually buy some of them online, soo cool!! XD
   Just so you know, John Williams (is the man! XD) is a composer. He did the songs in Star Wars saga, Jaws, Superman, Indiana Jones saga, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial,  Hook, Jurassic Park, Schindler's List, Home Alone and the first three Harry Potter films. That explains why Corey in the video there, used some of the tunes, clicking together now??

   Awesome right?? Yeah I did my home work...surprising? :P

Book Review: The Iron Thorn

 The Iron Thorn
By Caitlin Kittredge.
Page Total 492
Read in Two Days
Book Summery (As found on back of book);
In the city of Lovecraft, the Proctors rule and a great Engine turns below the streets, grinding any resistance to their order to dust. The necrovirus is blamed for Lovecraft's epidemic of madness, for the strange and eldritch creatures that roam the streets after dark, and for everything that the city leaders deem Heretical, or born of the belief in magic and witchcraft. And for Aoife Grayson, time is running shorter by the day.
   Aoife's family is unique in the worst way. Her mother and her older brother, Conrad, both went mad on their sixteenth birthdays. And now, a ward of the state nearing her own sixteenth birthday, Aoife is trying to pretend that her fate can be different.
________________________________________________

  So first off what a name right? Aoife...Type it into Google Translate and hit the speak button, it sounds funny XD

Anyways. I loved this book! The world was amazing! I'd describe the book as a Victorian/Steam-Punk sort of book. Aoife is some one I could defiantly relate to. With the society pushing her to be a "proper lady". She receives a letter crying for help from her brother, and she takes off to help him. Even though he could be crazy.
The only things I didn't enjoy from this book were; It's slightly hard to understand in the beginning. But the author had her own way of describing things, and I respect that. Secondly, the romance didn't come fast enough. Now I know Aoife was scared of becoming mad and all, but I'm a sucker for romance (though I seldom admit it).
The love interest was Dean Harrison. I really liked his character (again that might be because of my romantic interest liking XD). He was smart and he was funny. You could tell That Aoife and Dean were going to end up together, but it took awhile. Cal, Aoife's faithful best friend was also a great character. He loved Aoife, and wanted to keep her safe. Although he was also, like society, trying to make her a good lady like woman. I think that's also why I liked Dean, he respected Aoife, and treated her as an equal.
Aoife has these powers, she calls Weirds. And helps save/begin the destruction of the Iron world.
This book had alot of imagination behind it and it's defiantly something I'd read again, and I encourage you to read it.
If you didn't like it, loved it, or just feel like commenting please do :)
My Rating:

Five Lightning Bolts! Awesome read!

  Yuppers! Yet again my youth group has dragged me out to Laser Questing all night long! I love it soo much! You get soo pumped! The place we went was in Ottawa. There floors and it's almost a maze.

It was totally awesome!! I came in second place for one of thirteen games. My new personal best XD

I can't wait till next year! Let me just say I felt like a stormtrooper, or a super bad-donkeyed spy holding the gun and listening to pulsing music. Sooo Awesome! I'm still pumped!

   But I've got to go to bed XD. It's like 8:30 in the morning and we just got back :)
