Book/Movie review: The Hunger Games Trilogy

This is a late review of a recent movie I've watched, like about a month ago "The Hunger Games" and the succeeding books of the trilogy.

I love the story and the twists and turns of the plot. I like how they had Jennifer Lawrence took the role as Katniss Everdeen (the lead role in the story). I think she did well in portraying the character. What I didn't liked about the casting was Josh Hutcherson, the fact that he played as Peeta Mellark, I had a different impression between the Peeta in the book and the Peeta in the movie. In the book, I love how Katniss describes Peeta. I don't remember if it was stated that Peeta wasn't as good looking as Gale was but I understood that Gale was handsome but in the book Peeta was very good in speaking and convincing his listeners to sympathize him in many ways. But in the movie, the final interview portion, his lines were not as much convincing than they were in the book. Everything was great aside from that. Liam Hemsworth is a really good-looking guy (smiles =D) and I'm looking forward for more exposure in the next book

"Catching Fire". The second book is also action packed, very unpredictable and I got myself more engaged the story than the previous one. I've read it for like 4-5 days, I don't want to read it all in one day because I love the thrill the story gives and personally I want to look forward to another great twist day by day. Catching fire's got me hooked, specially the end part where I was left really hanging about the story, of how District 13 was still there all the time they thought it was a ghost town. Then, I cant wait to read the last book

"Mockingjay". I'm not going to spoil the story behind Mockingjay, all I can say is it is a MUST-READ! XD

Dear John

Something came to me this evening that I went on watching the movie "Dear John" again. I used to read that book over and over again until such time that it came out in film sometime in 2010. I was in Manila during that time it was showed in movie houses. I could relate, a little, because I was away from my long time boyfriend. We were about 3 years already, and during that time I was away because I choose to work in another city, though it's just a 1 hr and 20 min. ride in an airplane, we're still far from each other. In the movie, I felt how it was away from someone you love so much and someone you use to always be with in any time of the day. Though we were apart, communication was always present. I worked as a call center agent, so basically, I'm alive in the evening and stay dead asleep during daytime. I was not on the other side of the world but it felt like it. Familiar of the song "JET LAG" by Simple Plan and Natasha Bedingfield? It was exactly l...

Life

I'm really not that kind of a fan with Nicholas Sparks, but somehow his books inspire me in so many ways. My boyfriend told me one time that I watch too much movies about love, life and pain because he thinks I get too emotional when I handle things about our relationship. I don't think I too am though. I just watched "The Vow" again, and that movie hurts me all the time, like very much. I get too emotional watching it, it's like it hurts me ten times more than the way it was intended by the author to let the readers/viewers feel about the story. I admire how the character, Leo, was able to handle the things that happened after the accident, after his wife lost her memory. Everything she knows about him were gone, and if it happened to me I could have just killed myself in disbelief. It wasn't that easy, it never was, to be able to see someone you love go and leave you behind, helpless with no one to help you get through it. "I choose to stay with h...

Letting go

I've been staring at this blank page for a while already. It seems like I don't know where to start. I keep getting questions, why this and why that. Actually, I don't know what happened. I got confused on the way things are going. It's not the first time that I thought about breaking up, I've been trying to open the subject many times already but somehow he managed to talk me out of it. The past six years was a roller coaster ride. It was fun. We've had ups and downs like any relationship does but never did we go to bed without fixing any problem we've had. It was the best six years of my life. What I know is, when you're in a relationship this long, you have to always give more than what you always do. Sometimes, things get boring when you can't keep up with that scheme. I love him, I love our relationship, it means everything to me. But how can I keep on going when I know both of us cannot give anymore. Result is, we keep on disappoi...
