So many thoughts! It took me ages to expand this and get everything I wanted. Might go back to put in more on raceWhen I first heard they were making a HUNGER GAMES’ film, my thought process went something like this ( Read more... )

The perfection of the casting for Rue and Thresh took my breath away. It was like I had forgotten actors could actually look like the characters they've been tasked to portray. And the way they're revealing the tributes is really cool too. Hoping to get daily updates on this thing now ( Read more... )

-There are just some things that cause in me a nasty visceral reaction that I cannot put into words right away. Like the whole "But she's talented!" thing had me wincing until I figured it out.And now this whole tanning of Jennifer Lawrence. :-/ I'm sure the photomanip-people aren't being malicious about it, but all it does for me is highlight how ( Read more... )

Jennifer Lawrence is officially the Girl That Was On Fire.

Just beautiful clothes on everyone, from the Mad Hatter, the Red Queen and on. Anne Hathaway' ( Read more... )

My movie consumption has gone down a lot, but I definitely had to make some room for Disney's The Princess and the Frog.

I wasn't going to go see Harry Potter (I just feel so over it), but my cousin convinced me so I went to my first midnight showing ever. Loads of crazy people (they clapped when "the death" happened, wtf?)
