My darlings, welcome to Momma Love's Movies with Momma Love! You see, I've always wanted to do movie reviews and such but my friends always say that I'm stupid for trying because I don't know movies. Trust me, I've seen a ton of movies. Sure they're not diverse but I know the difference between good and bad. So, here is where I will tell you which movies you ought and ought not see. I know that won't stop some of you from going to the movies and seeing these horrible things but, if you go, see it in 2D. There's nothing more disappointing that seeing a terrible movie in 3D, you waste money and you waste precious time.
WARNING THERE WILL BE MAD SPOILERS IN THIS WORLD SO READ AT YOUR OWN RISK! I'LL TRY TO KEEP SPOILAGE TO A MINIMUM FOR MOVIES IN THEATERS BUT OTHER THAN THAT I WILL CONSIDER IT FREE GAME!
Without further adieu, welcome to Momma Love's Movies!
Next Review: Les Miserables (2012)
*Fans self* Dearies, this one's a doozy. It even took your beloved Momma for a whirl. It was everything a fan of the Hunger Games could as for, and more. There was... unf. I can't even. *sighs* Let me try again.
Being blessed with another sequel in the same season is truly spectacular. Never have I ever seen a book adaptation so true to its source, not even in the days of Harry Potter. This series has the luxury of an incredibly devoted fanbase in such a short period of time with less to work with than the aforementioned gem of ours days, J. K. Rowling's beloved Harry Potter books. What I mean by this is they don't have the curse of having too much source material. To squeeze out 2 1/2 hours of bloody fun you have to use everything you're given.
Granted a truly powerful and awesome part of the book was sadly cast aside. I'll let you moviecentric fans live on in bliss and I'll allow the readers of our trilogy to be as surprised as I was. It was a great little chunk and it wasn't in the final cut.
Onto the actual movie itself: beautiful imagery as usual, less shaky cam than the first, and an overall feeling of dread. Perfect for a series about a dystopian future where we sacrifice our young ones to fight to the death. The focus was taken off the drama of the romance between Gale, Katniss, and Peeta, and it really focused on how wrong society is, even now. How a young woman blatantly throwing around F bombs on live TV is censored when a 12 year old being butchered is played on loop for millions of people to see. Think of the last time you heard someone say FUCK on TV and then remember the last time you saw brain matter or intestines splattered on a hot city street.
Definite go see. If you can ignore the teenagers only interested in the romance of it all (I assume their Twihards looking for a new outlet), you'll definitely enjoy yourself. Do 3D if you can!
xoxo, Momma Love
I honestly didn't think this was a horror flick. But, technically it is! It's just making fun of every hipster and every horror flick out there! This movie is funny, raunchy, miserable, depressing, misleading, FUNNY, adorable, confusing, and several other adjectives that completely contradict each other. If you're expecting one thing, this movie will take a complete 180, 270, 365, 24/7, 300, and other degrees that aren't possible! You will either love or hate this movie, but it could totally count as a Halloween flick. It's horrifying how discombobulated this movie is but it's charming in its own way! And... when Josh Hutcherson pays a homage to DIRTY DANCING, where can you go wrong? But... seriously, if you're expecting a coherent movie, don't watch. ;)
Scare Rating: 4/10, not really scary but funny as hell. But still a little freaky.
xoxo, Your Bewitching Momma
P.S. Dane Cook is completely hilarious in this too.
Finally read and watched the Hunger Games! So proud of myself~ and I swore not to get spoiled for Catching Fire but I SAW SOMETHING ON WIKI AND I GOT SPOILED. ONLY HALF WAY SPOILED. I'M STILL EXCITED FOR IT. Now, onto my review, not a summary this time around. Kisses~
Hunger Games Review:
This is a review based on my knowledge of the Hunger Games and how it compares to its written counterpart. I would like to thank Suzanne Collins for giving birth to such a literary gem.
May I just say that the Hunger Games was a magnificent book and no film could ever hope to reach such infamy? As a film the Hunger Games lacks a lot of the nail-biting suspense that kept us reading and a lot of development in the relationship between Katniss and Peeta. It was good and Jennifer Lawrence played a very believable loving sister and stone-cold warrior with a heart of gold but it lacked in the “magic” department. The importance of the Mockingjay is completely ignored and even the relationship between Rue and Katniss is botched. To those who liked the book I suggest you watch with caution and to those who haven’t read the book I command that you read that first. I finished the book a whole five minutes before I watched the movie (last night) and I’m very grateful that I did. I got to enjoy every raw emotion, every near death experience, and every demise to the fullest of my ability.
And may I just say… PEENISS KEETA FOREVER. GALE, GTFO.
