Maybe I’m just a nerd when it comes to young-adult books and their movie adaptations, but before its release, I was keeping a close eye on the days left until The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 was coming to theatres. I mean, really, it’s hard not to be in love with Katniss and her adventures. In the…
We all the know that 2014 is quickly coming to a close. Sadly, that means that we’ve probably already seen some of the greatest films this year had to offer. But, that doesn’t mean that there aren’t any more good movies coming up. So to help you decide what to watch, I have come up…
Last weekend, one of the most anticipated movies of the year was released: The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, the movie adaption of the second book in The Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins. Having read the book series and enjoying the second book the most, I was very expectant that the movie would be a solid…
I’ve noticed that books into movies have been pretty hot in the media lately, that instantly turn an unknown novel into the most famous read of the year! With The Hunger Games and Twilight being big hits, I was happy to see that lesser known a book that didn’t involve cheesy love triangles and wild…
It was a movie that I even felt generally positive about upon leaving the theatre. However, despite the fact that I did enjoy the movie, I’d say that the Hunger Games was ultimately a disappointment simply because it could have been much much better.
Only a few days ago did the Motion Pictures Association of America (MPAA) decide to withdraw its “R” (restricted) film rating on the new film Bully and release it without any ratings due to public protests.
To be honest, with all this fuss around The Hunger Games trilogy, I really thought the movie would turn out to be one of those fan-girl craze subjects again.
If you have not already done so, please read my review of The Hunger Games, Catching Fire, and Mockingjay books. When I heard that the Hunger Games movie was PG 13, I was quite disappointed; I could not comprehend how the movie with an age rating under 18A could be anything other than horrible. But…
While this winter break may be more of a study-fest than a relax-fest, there will still be time to sit down and enjoy a good book. I love spending time off catching up on the pile of novels in my room, as well as reading the cool new releases. So, if you find yourself sick…
I’ll admit it, the only reason I read this book was because I heard that it’s similar to The Hunger Games. But as it turns out, the similarities are quite small. Basically Thomas, the protagonist, wakes up with his memories wiped and finds himself in a place called the Glade – a village of sorts,…
It’s an amazing book, so it has to be an amazing movie, right? How excited are you?
I was persuaded by my friends to read the The Hunger Games. I finally gave in and began the book, only to finish it two days later. Needless to say, I quite enjoyed the story. The plot itself was absolutely captivating in a terrifying way. The story follows the life of Katniss Everdeen, a girl…
Please read my previous blog entry here (review of the hunger games, part 1 of the series) before you read this. So, against astronomical odds, both Katniss and Peeta survived the hunger games. But in order to both survive and save Peeta, Katniss did the unthinkable – she openly defied the capitol. And thus the…
If you haven’t read my previous blog post about the background story of the Hunger Games trilogy, please do so here. “Could you survive on your own, in the wild, with every one out to make sure you don’t live to see the morning?” This book is the first part of the hunger games trilogy.…
Okay, I think it’s time to return to book reviews. I will start with my favourite series, the Hunger Games trilogy. This trilogy is composed of The Hunger Games, Catching Fire and Mockingjay. Basically… a war destroyed North America, but from the rubbles rose a dictatorship called Panem. Panem is made up of a high-tech…
