THE HUNGER GAMES CATCHING FIRE!

Well as a film lover and blogger I felt I needed to share my thoughts with you. I will do another detailed blog post in the future on this film, however I dont want to now as I don't want to spoil it for anyone as it only came out last weekend.

BUT OMG IT IS PROBABLY THE BEST FILM I HAVE SEEN IN A LONG LONG TIME.

I went to see this on the friday, which is the official full day it came out. And I went to see it with 3 friends, one of which is crazy about the Hunger Games like me! And the other two weren't big fans at all and only watched the first one because we planned to see this and they didn't want to be confused. But I can now honestly tell you them two friends have left that cinema and haven't stopped talking about it since, and has even started reading the books. I know crazy haha! 

Anyway I was sat in the cinema and it is the first film in ages where I have physically reacted to it, wether it be a gasp or a comment and I did have a little cry. 

But the film was just so packed with action, story, romance and it was just ahhhh so amazing! The graphics and SFX were sensational as expected and the film just seemed real and was just brilliant! I would say it was far far better than the first one, and trust me it really is!

The main aspect I was interested in was the arena, as I have read the books, I didn't want the film to disappoint with the visual arena as it is of course a key feature in the film, but WOW they completely didn't let me down. It was so well presented, thought of and you can tell they put alot of effort into this aspect of the film.

The end. OMG the end.

I am so buzzed from the build up, the advertising, the film its self and can honestly not wait until the final two are released. However for the meantime, I will be reading the books.

I would really encourage and reccommend people read the books, as they are amazing and worth the read. They are better than the films (even though the films are amazing!) I am just reffering to the fact there is obviously alot more content and story and feel its a story anyone can enjoy!

If you haven't seen the new Hunger Games! GO AND SEE IT! YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT AT ALL! But make sure to watch the first one if you haven't already as you will not understand the complete storyline!

But don't worry I will do a detailed post about this movie I just thought if I leave it for a while, it won't spoil it for people and we can have a right good discussion about it!

But thankyou so much for reading! And may the odds ever be in your favour! :-)

UNUSUAL TELEVISION.

BATES MOTEL...

Created by Carlton Cuse, he brings a modern remake and prequel to the movie Pysco. This story begins with the early years of a teenage boy called Norman Bates and his mother Norma, where they lived in an old house overlooking the unusual and mysterious motel which they are at that time renovating. The house and motel both come with secrets of their own as does the new town which the Bates' now call home.

Well I have been watching this in the UK on Universal, and have weirdly enjoyed it. I was first of all intrigued by the advertisments, this including the trailer, posters etc. And just found it quite mysterious and very intriguing. Everyone will know the film Physco by Alfred Hitchcock or at least the shower scene and the ever so famous screeching music. So I thought it was interesting that they show us Norman Bates early years.

One of the main characters Norman Bates is played by Freddie Highmore. Now this might just be me, but the only main screenings I have seen him in is Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and The Spiderwick Chronicles and Arthur. And all of them are aimed more at a younger audience and families, so I was quite suprised when I discovered he would be playing such a dark, tormented character in this horror/thriller series. And from this, I also thought he may not be able to pull of the character as well as someone who is experienced in this genre of film/television. This may be me being judgemental but I genuinely didn't think he would. But I was very suprised and impressed, as he played the character so so well, he made Norman so realistic and true and this really contributed to the darkness and mystery of the storyline. And he seemed such a natural at it, he is a brilliant actor in general from other aspects of film/television he's been in, but saying he has jumped from younger audience aimed film and television to a show such as this is very impressive.

Then we had Vera Farmiga who played Norma, who is Normans mother. Now Vera is known for performing in the horror/thriller/drama genre, as she has starred in films such as The Conjuring, Touching Evil (TV Series) and Running Scared and so many more. And as expected she played this role brilliantly, as her character is very dark, protective and very much a phsyco. So this I would think would be a tricky role to perform, however Vera played it amazingly, again like Freddie she made the character believable and real and this really contributed to the audience interaction and storyline. 

The storyline its self is such a deep, mysterious and simply weird and such an addictive one at that. As each episode leaves you with un-answered questions and thoughts and simply keeps you counting down the days until the next episode. The first series is over now I believe, but I'm sure you can catch up with it or check it out online, well I know you can in the UK, however there is going to be a second series coming but not for a while yet!

However if you aren't into the whole horror/thriller television then this may not be for you, but doesn't mean you can't have a dab at it! You may find the story behind the physco from "Physco" interesting. 

Thankyou so so much for reading, as i've said I try to make my posts sort and brief but interesting, because I know it can be a nightmare to just be reading and reading. But thankyou!

YOUTUBE ADDICT...

I LOVE HISHE...

Hishe (How It Should Have Ended) is a Youtube channel consisting of cute cartoon videos of very famous films, showing an alternate and to be quite frank a more realistic ending. Heres a little insight and information on this Youtube Channel.

The people behind this channel is Daniel Baxter and Tommy Watson, and thier inspiration came from discussing aternate endings of a film they watched. In 2005 their first animation How Matrix Revolutions Should Have Ended was completed and soon after in July, 2005 the website was established. HISHE has been awarded the "Best Internet Parody" award for "How Superman Should Have Ended" by Spike TV at the 2006 Scream Awards and has been featured in an MTV Comedy and Talent Showcase. 

In September 2009, How It Should Have Ended joined Starz Digital Media which now handles all licensing. In April 2010, HISHE was awarded the Streamy Award for Best Animated Web Series and recently, the Teens React segment (on TheFineBro's channel) looked at the Lord Of The Rings, Harry Potter, and The Hunger Games and showed reactions and thoughts from teens about them.

Honestly guys, they're amazing, the videos are hilarious and are of such a high quality, and the animation is so unique and individual its amazing! Each story line is so relatable, because you think "omg why didn't it end like that", and really adds that relationship between the channel and its viewers. They've done videos of The Hunger Games, Harry Potter, World War Z, Pacific Rim, just so so many, so there is at least one video for anyones taste! :-)

So please, please go and check them out, you won't regret it, subscribe to them to keep up to date with thier videos!

And I will see you soon, thankyou so much for reading and please follow this blog on BlogLovin'. :-)
