The Hunger Games: Catching Fire Movie Review

So I initially wanted to leave one word for this review: EXCELLENT! However I guess this would not be a really good review so here we go... This movie was great. The costumes and set design were beautiful. The special effects were nowhere near cheesy and Jennifer Lawrence really "acted her ass off". It was rather long at nearly 2 1/2 hours but it didn't feel like it and once the end came upon us we didn't want to leave. Why must we wait a whole year to see the next one??? Why? With all of these predictable movies out, Catching Fire is refreshing. If you haven't read the books this movie makes you want to read them. You want to know what happens next. On another note the theater was packed and the show I planned to see was sold out and so was the one following it. Oh yea, and the monkey scared everyone in the Theater (lol). Lenny Kravitz!!! We miss you already!!! This is a must see and you must see it in theaters!!!! I give this one a 9.5 out of 10. BRAVO and I will be seeing it again.

THOR: The Dark World Movie Review

"THOR 2" was much better than the first one. There was more action and less love story. Although slow at times, it kept my interest. Plenty of chuckles and really cool shots. Most of the movie is set in Asgard which I appreciated but I'm the type that digs fantasy. We feel bad for the "bad guy" but a twist at the very end was all but unsuspecting.  I would say wait until you can rent it unless you find a good deal on tickets. A short review reflects my mood towards the film. I give it a 7.5. out of 10
