HUNGER GAMES MOVIE

Movie comments again, too bad that in the meantime I didn't have time to write about anything else. But, since 'Hunger Games' officially came out, and since I literally ran to make booking (first and only pre-booked seats in the theater where we watched it), I cannot do anything but put this movie stamp on my blog.

It was like rereading the book, very close to the story, to the atmosphere... The actors were good choices (even the fact that Gale was quite absent as a character on the first book, leaves the same feeling on the film). Not much to say, except that it was a really good film. The only difference is that when you actually watch all those children walking towards the possibility of their death, then it really becomes more real and more creepy than reading about it. Imagination tends to protect you I guess. Especially if you choose so.

One day

Unfortunately today I have neither the time, nor the mood to write much. 

But this movie was lovely. 

Really.

young Adult movie:not so good

I watched this last night; time passed OK, but the film is quite unworthy commenting.

Despite the movie concept, Charlize is aging in reality. Like we all do.

HUNGER GAMES

When it comes to movie expectancy, and describing anticipation, there is one film that I cannot wait for: HUNGER GAMES.

Are you among those who read the books? Cause if you're a reader, you already know there're three of them, and you've already seen that black cover coming up on Amazon hundreds of times.

If you haven't dared read them -for fear of them not being worth-, DO IT! Read 'Hunger Games'. And then it's certain that you'll read 'Catching fire' and 'Mockingjay' as well. They're bold; they're harsh; they're beautiful.

Katniss lives in a corner of my mind already. Let her find her place also in yours.

Thank you Ms. Collins.

The vow

I liked 'The vow'. I thought I'd like it. I did.

I even liked the inspirational text of the vows that the couple exchanged; it must have been considered good by the producers also, that's why they repeated it 3 times.

But why didn't they give a 'soupier' ending? It's a love story; for Valentine's day. They could not so much stick to the real story that gave them the idea for the film, and actually make McAdams get her memory back. There would be a much more intense scene...

Well, well. There is one in my mind!

Time traveler's wife

There are few cases when a movie is better than a book. Counting on my fingers, the cases for me were two. One of them was the 'Lord of the rings' (I know some may pull their hair out by listening to this, but I just get bored on reading how the heroes were walking on, and on, and on....). The second was this case. 'Time traveler's wife'.

I firstly saw the movie; then found out there was a book. And I started reading it. And I couldn't finish it. Occasionally I get back to it (it's on my phone, so when I'm somewhere outside waiting, having nothing else to do, I read a few pages) because the story of Clare and Henry is always appealing. But the movie plot was so much tighter. It was shorter, it was dramatic, it was making sense.

-SPOILER- For instance when Henry gets the vasectomy in the movie, Clare becomes furious (it's an expected reaction; she 's hurt). On the book, she just says: 'OK', and this because she knows what's coming next. -END SPOILER-

I just can't get that feeling away. That the movie was so much more. It's worth watching, if you haven't seen it.

Twilight

There are a LOT of things to babble over on a first post, but books are a good start. And if you ask me which thought can bring me comfort during a bad day, it is TWILIGHT. I know it may sound pathetic, like the life I'm living is no real, if what I choose for comfort is this. Of course there are people around me, whom I love enough to live or die for. But name one person you love, that doesn't come along with stress. 'Edward' that is...

I loved the book, I loved the movie, I loved Edward and Bella as the inseparable one that they are, I loved the characters, I loved the choice of actors. I loved and love everything about TWILIGHT. I don't say the same about the rest three books (or movies), no. They are not quite as equal. They are much less. But still -and silly as it may sound-, one of the moments that I'm grateful for and happy to have lived through, is reading and rereading TWILIGHT... Anyone with the same addiction to dreams and romance, should understand.
