Hunger Games

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4S9a5V9ODuY

The Hunger Games was a great movie. It's about kids from a post-apocalyptic society fighting on live television to the death. This movie was so wonderful because it had many action scenes that weren't too violent; the action was still there, but it wasn't that gory. The Hunger Games also caught my attention because the actors(Jennifer Lawrence, Liam Hemsworth, and Josh Hutcherson) did such a great job. The actors gave everyone an equal opportunity to understand the circumstances, even if you didn't read the book. Although this movie had a dark feeling to it, it kept you on your toes and made you root for your favorite tribute. The Hunger Games was captivating because it kept me wondering how did the actors become so agile. This pleases all audiences, it was an action movie as well as a drama. What were your most/least favorite parts of the movie?

The Vow

The Vow, starring Channing Tatum and Rachel McAdams is based on a true story. Rachel McAdams' character, Paige loses her memory of the past five years in a car accident, erasing the memory of her marriage and relationship with Leo (Channing Tatum). The movie follows Paige and Leo's struggle through her memory loss as they try to get things back to normal. I went into the movie with low expectations after hearing from a friend that it wasn't as good as she thought it would be. After the movie I wasn't disappointed, but I wasn't completely satisfied either. The movie is more about her dealing with the memory loss rather then the rekindling of Leo and Paige's lost relationship, which is what I thought the movie was going to be dealing with. Although it wasn't exactly what I expected, it was an overall good movie.

Castle is a TV show I have been watching ever since it aired back in 2009. It is an interesting TV show that takes you into the life of Kate Beckett, a detective for the NYPD. In season 1, Richard Castle, a murder mystery novelist who is friends with the mayor, shadows detective Beckett in the hopes of finding inspiration for a new book. At first Beckett isn't necessarily happy with this arrangement, but after having Castle shadow her, she decides that he would be a great addition to the team. Together Castle and Beckett solve numerous murders, along with detectives Ryan and Esposito and Lani, the coroner for the NYPD.

Transformers 3:Revenge of the Dark Moon

Transformers 3 is almost as good as the first transformers movie. Once again, the decepticons are back and humans have to choose which side they want to be on. Both sides of the transformers could have something very important to bring their world to earth. Who will get the power? Transformers 3: Revenge of the Dark Moon is a 3 hour long movie, so you should have plenty of time on your hand to watch it. This is a great action packed movie, with its comedy relief here and there. Although, if you don't like long, drawn out movies, you might not want to sit through this.

They have these great horses and they have to choose which one they want, they choose the foal, later named secretariat to help them raise money. Throughout this movie all the characters have obstacles in one way or another. This is a touching movie that is great to watch with your family or just by yourself.

I Am Number Four

I saw this movie last night and it was great. I was a little skeptical at first, considering some science fiction movies are hit or miss for me. This movie follows John Smith (number 4) and his guardian, Henri. They have to move around due to John's condition, but majority of the movie is set in Paradise, Ohio. John is the next of his kind to be killed, so he must find a way to avoid this. He tries to blend in at his high school, where he meets Sarah, Sam and Mark. While at school John discovers he has a power. He must learn how to control this power in order to beat the Mogadorians. This movie was great and I would recommend seeing it.

Taking 5

This movie follows Gabby and Devon. They want 5 Leo Rise to come play at their school, so they try to collect the most wrappers for a contest to get them to play there. They collect the most wrappers, but in an unfortunate incident the wrappers get burned, which means the band won't be playing there. Gabby and Devon are now hated by the school and decide that if they can get the band play, then they will be out of Social Siberia. When they go to the bands signing, they are disappointed when the band won't play at their school and find out that they aren't as nice as they seem. Out of "revenge" they come up with a plan to kidnap the band with the help of Lincoln. This movie gets it right with the elements of school and I would recommend this movie to anyone who's looking for a movie in between a kiddish version of high school and the adult version of high school. It's funny and it's different from other teen movies!
